How soon before Trump loses his influence on government? [View all]

These Republicans lost their influence in stages:

Joe McCarthy:

1) "At long last, have you no decency?" 2) Censure 3) Alcoholism 4) Death

Richard Nixon:

1) Watergate 2) Resignation 3) Not involved in politics after resignation

Ronald Reagan:

1) Retired from politics 2) Alzheimer's 3) Death

Will Trump's adventures in the American Judiciary be Stage I or will he have to die or become obscure to have him lose control of MAGA politicians?
