'GOP dreads the return of Trump rallies'

' . . . Trump is expected to hit the road in early June with a series of events as he ramps up his political presence for the midterms. POLITICO reported earlier this week on his plans for a modern-day “Contract with America,” working with the architect of the 1994 original, NEWT GINGRICH, on a policy platform to excite GOP voters.

The problem: Since when has Trump ever stuck to policy? Most Republicans are expecting a rerun of the oldies: false claims of voter fraud, witch hunts and the like — only to be hounded by reporters for their comment on the outrage of the moment. . . . '

The only so-called entertainment would be if the egos of those two creeps collided. That would be quite a spectacle.

Agree to host him anymore and he'd better pay up front for any security and facilities. I think it would be hilarious if he ended up being denied rental space and security from taxpayer funded amenities.

Good God what is he going to add that he hasn't already put out there? Out of power. Out of "ideas." all he wants are cronies in place to retore him to some level of power. He won't talk at length about any candidate he supports. All grievances. All the time. Hate, lies and propaganda.

But, he owns the GOP, so have at it!

he was a semi-regular at Studio 54 back in the day.
Hmmm. A little googling reveals:

Studio 54 Founder Says He Never Saw Donald Trump Dance
[link:https://www.spin.com/2018/01/studio-54-donald-trump-dance/|]

If only the rest of us could say the same.

I guess if he can "be president" for four years without ever being presidential, maybe the pattern fits.

Why else is he going on tour so to speak. Charge admission to hear the same old shit?

Shit! My neighbor just put up a new Made In China Trump flag on his garage. That money, or most of it, went into Trump's pocket. Trump continues to GRIFT.
