GOP voters are firmly on Trump's side. He has something like an 80+% approval from Republicans and has regularly outshined Reagan by that metric.
There will be no grand betrayal of Trump after his tenure as president ends, it's not in the electoral interests of the Republican leadership.
They'll abandon him once he's outed and the GOP suffers greatly, it'll be a decade til they can recover to govern again.
We'll see, but I wouldn't just accept that as fact. It's equally likely that Trump's impression on voters forces the GOP to shift towards Trump's rhetoric permanently, since they kind of need Republicans to win elections.
