Personally I think this thread elides over a little of the immediate post-Trump battle among his possible "heirs" upon his passing, but Kirk as JD's chief of staff then trying for the empire is... Terrifyingly obvious

Door #1 needs to be the message, especially because Door #2 can also be found inside Door #1. If someone brings up #2, point to #1 because the goal is to remove Trump, a person who can be forced to face consequences, versus corruption, a concept that exists as long as reality does.
