You all are missing the most obvious flex: one of his sons is going to run, on the sole platform of “My dad will really be running things, I won’t even make him move out”. Maybe both sons run, on a Trump/Trump ticket, only all the signs say “Trump/Trump/Trump”.
Donald Trump will have his dream job: all of the power and influence (and money!) Of the Presidency, none of the actual responsibility. Why be President when you can own the Presidency?
Didn’t Putin do something similar? He was term limited out of the Presidency, but got his buddy elected President, and then he got himself elected to their Parliament and became Prime Minister. He then got himself re-elected as President, then got some Constitutional things passed to ensure that he never has to give it up again.
But Donald Trump doesn’t care about actually governing, so he doesn’t need to run for Congress. All he has to do is install someone as the next President who is loyal to him, and him alone. What better candidate than Eric, whose only success in life is having the right parents?
Of course, that’s why it’s Donnie’s picture up there, and not Eric’s. They will try to convince all of his fans that a vote for Eric is really a stealth vote for his dad. And Eric will lean into it, because he has never done anything in his life that didn’t rely on his family connections.
(I keep going back to Eric because I think it’s clear that he’s the dumb one, and Junior is smart enough to know he would rather be VP and get to hang out with Senators doing nothing)

None of his sons are charismatic enough to succeed. Even Donnie knows that.
He’s going to do what Putin does and stick a puppet in office.
