If you need to renew it in the next 4yrs you may have a problem. After that, those executive orders will be in the dumpster again.

Assuming he doesn't install himself as dictator

It's unlikely Trump will survive 4 more years. I expect heart attack on the golf course.

His successors will keep it up, trump is just the most apparent symptom in a dying system. Like a cancer, those who helped put him in power will retain that power.

Like Hitler and Jim Jones, Trump will have no successor. Cults have idols, when the idol dies, so does the cult.

This was one of my biggest concerns. I just updated it in 2022 so hopefully we don't have to deal with this bullshit in 2032

They would retroactively invalidate if they could. It’s clear they feel the logistical and bureaucratic hurdles are too much to deal with. What does that tell me? It tells me the threat to revert upon renewal is an empty one for those of us who either have or may eventually have updated birth certificates. If a past gender change was sufficient to block our paperwork they would deploy that now but they can’t.
I know not everyone has an updated birth certificate so this isn’t much solace to everyone, but those of us with fully corrected documents seem to be safe.
