my somewhat pessimistic view is that Trump (and Musk) will be treated as useful idiots (not unlike Johnson). When the tide turns watch them throw them under the bus (he's not a real Republican, only the GOP can manage the economy etc). And the polarisation of US politics will mean the electorate that voted for him will prefer to trust that narrative over voting for "the enemy". Maybe there will be a Democrat term, but then it'll be "oh look they haven't fixed the economy" again
