Unfortunately his cult will call him a martyr. The best thing that could happen is for him to have a stroke or something. I mean the conspiracy nuts will still be themselves, but largely his movement will eat itself, at least in the short term. That’s usually how cults work. It’s very rare for them to outlive their founding jackass. I saw a dissertation once on how their replacement needs to be a charismatic organizer to reform it into a lasting movement, which is very rare.
