I'd say i agree he wont be writing any manifestos. He does that in the form of his own public rallies, mass media, television, the internet, and through his sycophants on right-wing radio...His cult of personality is unfortunately very effective with his base.
I'm really hoping his cult of personality dies with him. (Or tries to glom on to Junior, who lacks, well, everything required to make him an effective populist leader).
Of all the people in the Trump orbit, I am most afraid of Jared. He seems to have been smart enough to avoid getting stuck in any of his father-in-law's messes. And he is way, way too close to dictators abroad. I don't think he wants to actually insert himself into politics. But he could end up being the one that finances the next attempt a dictatorship in the US.
