Interesting article. I think he sells both ideas short. I think one could be the response to the other, which ends it all in a messy and very public breakup. Trump will get his own country to be king over, the coastal elites will have their independent states, and Trump will achieve his primary goals: skate on criminal charges and ingratiate himself with his favorite autocrat and foreign supporter. He doesn’t care about the United States, so this would work for him. What would be interesting is the great migration as states and people pick sides.
