I would think it would be a potential loss of energy for a whole lot of GOP organizations that get funding and support from foreigners. For example.

his love of history should've also taught him that tyrants like him almost inevitably see their lives concluded with a violent ending.

He would have nobody to answer to, nobody to check his worst impulses, and likely nobody to ever hold him accountable.

Yes, Putin is a horrible person and worse than Trump in many respects, but I think it's better if Trump dies first so that democracy here and abroad stands a better chance of survival, without him undermining and subverting it for his and Putin's gain.
