Like it wouldn’t surprise me at all if there was a handshake deal with the Senate GOP that they’d help make quick, quiet work of the impeachment trial, as long as Donny is all kumbaya with the party and actively throws his weight behind it rather than either a) launching some 3rd party nonsense that could fuck them up at every level, or b) insisting on running in '24 as a ridiculously polarizing candidate.
Once he gets back on social media, I can see him sending out those template endorsement tweets for Republican candidates. But Don isn’t the kind of guy who can stump for other people without going off on how he get robbed in the election 2 years ago and all that bullshit for an hour.
Yeah he will be selling boiler plate TRUMP endorsements to Republicans. Leasing the Trump brand had been his business model for decades, and the Deplorables Market is the only place it still has value.
No I get it. It’s just that if he’s playing ball he can give that minimal boost to the GOP rather than the potential chaos and damage he could wreak with his other options.
Would it violate the Twitter rules if someone (let’s say Don Jr.) posted a bunch that are something like these:
Just spoke to @realDonaldTrump and he told me that he endorses Marjorie Taylor Green. She is strong on borders, our second amendment, …
Just spoke to @realDonaldTrump and he wants to make sure that the American people know that this whole Senate trial is a total disgrace to our great nation. #MAGA
It’s a fine distinction, but I think Trump tweeting from someone else’s account in the first person is different from someone saying I just talked to Florida Man and he said X.
I thought the problem was with the former, but I’m not sure. It was way too many Scaramuccis ago for me to remember.
Trump will be like the British Monarch going forward. Republicans will revere him as a figurehead, he will be “in charge” in an essentially ceremonial capacity, and will be rolled out for rallies and “grip and grins”. Strategy and tactics will be left to bona fide party operatives and politicians. I do agree that MTG is on a trajectory to accrue some real power over the next few years.
It’s gonna be Ivanka in 2024 and she is going to skate to the R nom with daddy’s support. Been mentioned many times that she wants to be President and Donald would love that.
