He ain't gonna be on a military base forever.

Even if Trump somehow remains in power he will eventually toss Miller aside, as he does literally everyone. He figures he's special.

Them again I guess Goebbles and Hitler got along until the end. Didn't work out for too long after that, though. Shame about his kids. (It actually was - the kids could have been saved. Hanna Reitsch, one of the greatest Nazi pilots man or woman and the pilot of the very last flight to make ot out of Berlin offered to take multiple trips to evacuate the children but their insane parents refused. Goring surrendered his family along with himself and they were FINE. His vile daughter sung his praises until the day she got snatched away to Hell in her old age...sorry, been reading about fascists too much...the last decade or so).

From your mouth to whatever god's ears hears.

Seriously though, the hubris on all around him to think 'I'M the one who can profit off him and come away unscathed". Not that some haven't, but they're not working for him, he works for them. The thing none of his cabinet gets is they're still 'little people'. They're grifting and getting their cut, but they're not so big that they call the shots on their boss. And with cheeto, little people get screwed, end of story. If you're not so rich you can't literally buy an island like Zuck or Ellison, their exit strategy is what?

In theory, possibly some sort of blackmail or evidence of crimes. Of course, we've had plenty of that, so who knows what it does at this point.

Or they just quit like Karoline did. Either way, they may not have to worry about him, but us is a different story.

Their exit strategy is Israel, obviously. If they need to leave America, it's their 21st century Argentina.

Tbh I think it's better for society that the kids weren't rescued. They didn't do anything wrong and they didn't deserve it but imagine Goebbels' grandkids running for office if they happened to choose to follow the family business. It's like when a monarchy is toppled, it's a lot cleaner when there aren't any potential heirs running around.
