It goes far, far deeper than that. I recommend you listen to this to get a full grasp on just how twisted his schemes really are: youtu.be/D503ScaSGc4

While you're not wrong that Trump is just a puppet for a number of masters in various hierarchies, there's one key attribute he has that makes him indispensable - the cult he managed to build.
With him gone, do you really think that any of the current replacements being fostered could actually get anywhere with MAGA? Do you think that any of the people in question, let it be one of the Trump kids or JD Vance or quite literally anyone from his inner circles, replace him as the cult leader?
Trump is uniquely positioned as both the executor of the will of this cabal, and the cult leader of the morons. With him gone, the cabal will be hard pressed to push for another candidate who can move even remotely as many voters as the orange turdsack did.
With Trump gone, so will be the MAGA movement, and said cabal will be back to, well, not square one, but it will be a major setback until they can find another mascot who can charisma the moron third into voting against their own interest.
And that gap, that few years will allow for a crucial thing: "re-education". With Trump gone, the MAGA followers will be able to re-evaluate their stances more freely, with reduced effects from e.g. sunk cost fallacy, and can be taught to recognise populism and how it actually negatively affects them by preying on their weaknesses.

You’re replying to my comment when it’s incredibly obvious you do not look at the attached video or read the whole original post. Pretty sure you’re either a high-effort troll or a bot.

apologies, the video wouldn't load so I presumed it was one of the in-depth rants about how Trump is just a symptom and how others are in control.
I also seriously misread the OOP, but in my defense it was 3am and I've been running on 2-3hr of sleep a day for a while now.
And yes, my account was inactive for a while as the federated Reddit alternatives haven't been teeming with much content or discourse when I original joined, and a recent Reddit ban that nuked all my alts was the trigger to continue moving back here. Alas not a bot and I've been using this nickname for the better part of the past ~25 years.
