It's almost like Trump tried a coup to avoid leaving office the last time around.

If he gets back in office, he'll leave in a body bag.

That's not a threat, I just don't see him lasting much longer.

Not before establishing a dynastic succession plan though.

Historically, those tend not to last. If they take root at all, they last a matter of months. The adult children aren't able to harness the cult of personality the same way.

NKorea being one big exception. There aren't a lot of other examples in modern nation states.

That's honestly different. They're figureheads controlled by the army. Remember how the heir apparent was passed over and killed?
