To be fair, he surrounds himself with fascists hungry for power. Just because he probably didn't set it up doesn't mean that one of his "buddies" didn't.

Not saying it was Vance, but for the sake of argument, in shoes of that caliber it's a win win. Trump gets killed? Well lookie here, we got a martyr and a new replacement ready for the throne. Trump doesn't get killed? They get a photo shoot that sways public perception.

That's literally how Hitler kept his cronies in check. Having them all fighing for power underneath him.

Everyone assuming trump dying was a bug not a feature doesn't simply relate to the cuthroats like trump and his ilk.
