I was thinking about this hypothetical scenario this morning. It's kind of a between two majorities scenario. Basically, Trump gets elected in 2024, beating Biden by a comfortable margin and making gains among working class minority voters. Once in office, he fires top officials at the fed, cuts interest rates to zero, and the economy tanks. He then dies in office, and everything gets blamed on his vice president, who is a more "normal" Republican (Doug Burgum?). With the Republican Party disunited without Trump and inflation at new highs, the incumbent loses in a landslide to a populist Democrat (Fetterman?), who builds a broad working class coalition and pushes elements of both Trump and Biden's domestic policy using newly expanded set of presidential powers to "solve" the economic crisis.

Certainly probable given the nontrivial chances he pulls a Grover Cleveland. I’m guessing the firing and interest rates stuff happens in 2025 and the economy tanks sometime before the midterms?
