Former President Donald Trump expects to resume rallies with two events next month and one around the July 4 holiday, a person familiar with his plans confirmed.
Trumps team is still determining the venues for the rallies, the person said. The planned resumption was first reported by the (conservative) New York Post.
With the former president reduced largely to calling into friendly conservative television programs and issuing press releases after being banned from Twitter, Facebook and other social media sites, the rallies will give Trump the biggest platform since he spoke at the Conservative Political Action Conference in February.
The former president, who turns 75 next month, is also expected to appear on May 22 at the first fundraiser for a new super-political action committee hes backing. Its being held at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in New Jersey, where the former president is making a seasonal move from his Mar-a-Lago resort in South Florida.

(46,130 posts)1. There are past venues still waiting for compensation for the clean-up, the security, the insurance for his rallies.
2. Trump is not going to start paying a security or deposit to new venues.
3. Trump is no longer President; therefore there is reduced fear/apprehension of retribution if his requests for venues are declined.
4. Trump's base may love him, but he's old news. Even if they believe he's a President-in-Exile, it's not the same as having all that power behind him right now. He's just a stiff like the rest of them.

Trump fatigue will be very real. Saturation dew point reached months ago.

Oh, and he has to pay his own bills.

(32,086 posts)It will be a shitshow, and that will be the end of them. Especially if he's restricted to having them in Florida to avoid extradition. July in Florida! How awesome! It'll be a blast watching the orange paint melt off of his face.
Everything Trump touches dies, including his cult rallies.

(19,066 posts)The first few will get a ton of coverage, but then people will get bored.
Even during the campaign he wasn't drawing that big of crowds. And if he's going to charge admission, which I suspect he'll want to do, it's going to be bad for him.
tinrobot
(10,903 posts)He stiffed cities out of millions when he could get away with it as President.
Now, not so much. Any intelligent venue will want cash up front.

(30,745 posts)security will be an issue. Who will provide enough security? How big is his lifetime Secret Service protective staff? Will there be a crowd of fascist thugs surrounding him? Will they be uniformed?
This could turn into a mob scene or a circus. We shall see.

Maybe the RNC?
Trump also has tons of cash from his post-election fundraising.
There's pretty much no way to stop this, and it's a prelude to him running in '24. Re-establish the brand.
