Trump 'is drafting an enemies list for his Patriot Party to challenge'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Donald Trump is reportedly moving forward with his plans to create a 'Patriot Party' to put pressure on Republicans who oppose him and attempt to head off conviction in his second Senate impeachment trial.

Trump has told people that the third-party threat gives him leverage to prevent Republican senators from voting to convict him during the Senate trial next month, people in his orbit told the Washington Post.

Since President Joe Biden took office, Trump has been ensconced at Mar-a-Lago, remaining publicly cryptic about his plans except to tell a reporter on Friday: 'We'll do something, but not just yet.'

But behind closed doors, Trump is already drafting an enemies list of Republicans who opposed his baseless claims of election fraud, instructing aids to prepare primary challenges against them, sources told the Post.

1. Threats of a third party and enemy list. He knows the GOP scares easily.

6. As well they should

Let’s say in 2024 it’s Biden vs. Haley, and Trump or his son run third party. They will take at least 10% of the vote, giving Biden a landslide win.

2. Ahhh...that middle-school mean girl goto...the ol' "enemy list".

What exactly would I need to say to be entered in this list?

5. That's simple...

Just tell the truth!

3. IMO, it's also another way to grift.

Remember how Trump filed on his Inaugural Day for his intention for re-election? It was to raise money without accountability. Same thing here.

9. So right. This is all about grifting. Testing the waters to find out how many idiots

will continue to send money. The GOP paints itself as abused and victimized -- liberal communists are taking over! Helps us keep them at bay!

4. Patriot Prison is more like it, lol

7. This could backfire and encourage Republicans to convict Trump to get him out of the way.

And the more that vote to convict, the harder it will be for Trump to duo anything about it.

8. Infighting takes so much energy and kills focus...more please!

As much as I wish the GA senate race had delivered more resounding margins for the Dems, if rancor in the Repub ranks yields us more of these, until we strengthen the base through improving good governance and making progress for the people, I'll take as much as Trump can dish out. While I really never want to see or hear him on TV/ media again, if its for this, I'll be good.

10. Trump threatens Republican Senators is like Trump threatening the jury. On Brand.

11. "Our Enemies List will be even greater than Nixon's"

[NotASurfer]

12. OK, Lincoln Project...get a list of the House members who voted to acquit and primary'em

The RepubliQans who think it's fine and dandy to support armed violent overthrow of the government need a hard challenge from someone sane in their own party. You want to find something worth redeeming in your party? Take the next step.
