That does not strike me as a plausible scenario at all. Trump is far too popular with his base, and seemingly immune to accusations of craziness and mental decline in the sense that absolutely nothing he says or does has any impact on their support. Trump wouldn't stand for this, and thus his base wouldn't stand for it. The elites tried hard to unite behind DeSantis and get Trump off the ticket this year, and we saw how that went.
More to the point, I don't see why removing Trump would even be necessary, given how incredibly easy it is to manipulate him. He's an excellent figurehead and the Project 2025 group can easily get him to do whatever they want while continuing to ride his popularity with his base.
