Nah. A guy like him is doing every thing he can to prevent anyone from consolidating enough power to challenge him. Not to say there arent plenty of scum waiting in the wings, but you don’t strongman by allowing your contemporaries to also hold the kind of power required to keep a kleptocracy together.

They’re not talking about a challenger. He might well have a successor who’s being trained by him in private.
