Trumpism After Trump: Will the movement outlive the man?

For Trump was doing tricky ideological lifting that went all but unappreciated by the NatCons.

It takes a certain talent to keep so much in the air. The Trumpists will survive the end of Trump, but they will also inherit Trump’s circus act. The dimmer NatCons aspire to sustain the performance; the more earnest want to slip an actual popular agenda into the mix.
