I believe this is the point of the author, who is a cult expert. The mind control of the leader depends heavily upon consistent and continuous exposure. In the instance of Trump losing the bully pulpit, that control will diminish to a point below the threshold.

If he got a second term, the author predicts that the root messaging would go stale, especially when coupled with failure of the mythology to come to pass.

You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.
