He has completed the process of transferring his soul to a phylactery and has thus become a lich, so that even as his body swiftly decays into dust (well...goo) he can remain president, eventually possessing JD Vance's body by expelling his soul and destroying his mind.

I think he's had Barron split his soul into horcruxes. That's why he keeps harping on the Resolute desk and had a copy of the Declaration of Independence hung in the Oval Office. The third is Mar-a-Lago, that's why he needs to go there so often.

Bad news, he got the steps of the ritual out of order.

Going to have some competition from Theil on that last bit. Lich fight! Lich fight! Lich fight!

"eventually possessing JD Vance's body by expelling his soul and destroying his mind." I mean, should be a snap, then.

I mean, that is what Vance is there to be: arrogant, weak-willed, with barely a soul in the first place.

Does Vance have a soul to expel?

As a result, the only way to defeat him is for a plucky band of adventurers to travel to Saudi Arabia, find the Orb and then bury it back from whence the evil came, next to Ivana's grave on his Bedminster golf course.

That's where the orb was:

President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi of Egypt, King Salman of Saudi Arabia, and President Trump all touch 'the orb' a glowing globe.

I really need to run a pulp adventure ttrpg, I feel like that would be a fun. I’ll have to slot that in after I do my oops all Jedi campaign and then putting the new edition of twilight 2000 through its paces.

That’s it. I’m going to find that jar with Nixon’s head in it that is floating around here somewhere. He’ll know what to do, and couldn’t possibly any worse.

Pretty sure they’ve laid extensive groundwork and probably completed most of the project of soul expulsion/mind destruction
