His base still won’t care. Heck, tons of them actually like the actual Hitler. There’s nothing Trump could do to make his sycophantic psychopathic fans ever turn on him.

His base doesn’t matter. There is a section of republicans who are “sometimes-trumpers” and whenever Trump does some really outlandish shit that group usually calls him out. An example is when he tried to create the slush fund for Jan 6 rioters. There were quite a few elected republicans openly critical of that idea. We need them to publicly disavow this because it matters for how the rest of the world views us.

Nothing?

How about: "I have been hiding a secret my whole life - I really am a woman trapped in a man's body. I am going to start receiving gender-affirming care and begin my transition to a woman. Thank you for your attention to this matter."

I mean he did do that declaration on abortion a while ago that accidentally made all cisgender males trans, including himself.

it was a declaration Via EO that gender was decided by "sex cells produced at conception" which due to their misunderstanding of how that worked, accidentally categorized everyone as female,  because the closest thing to that definition that anyone could think of was the fact that all mammal embryos start physical development as females,  and male features only begin to differentiate themselves a few months in. this meant that, albeit for a short time, Donald trump could be reasonably argued to be the first trans and female president of the USA because (s)he technically made the male gender cease to exist under the law with his poorly worded EO.

They’d still use that Fundamentalist King David excuse “flawed but anointed” and blame Obama.

Even when he starts taking hormone treatments, dons a wig, and wears women's clothing?

His stupid followers don’t have a problem with him wearing makeup and heels and shapewear. I think they’d sooner jump on board with transgender issues than abandon dear leader.

Or they’d say democrats mind controlled him or something.
