Donald Trump is no longer the captain. He was fired. He acts like he doesn't have a clue. He doesn't

....While Trump may have power in the Republican Party, across the country, among Independents and Democrats,
Trump is known as...a liar and a killer. ..Trump may think certain thoughts about another election, but he will lose
if he runs for any position. Trump may think he can win, but most people will not vote for him. It is my opinion
that big money will NOT fund any kind of election that Trump believes he can win. Big money will not fund Trump for
one simple reason: He will lose any election because Donald Trump is a liar and a killer. Trump's stupidity killed over 500,000 people, and that is NOT a secret.
....Big money will not fund Donald Trump because funding Trump for another election is similar to throwing money down a sewer. While some Republicans are very, very stupid, big money does not want to throw money down a sewer, a very dirty and filthy sewer. The people with big money that fund the Republican Party are really not that...STUPID. . Trump obviously is that STUPID,but the Big Money behind the Republican Party is NOT THAT STUPID.

from the many millions of "trumpists" still burning for the leadership they need to smash through to victory. Until someone else shows up,... As Ocelot says, the inmates are running the asylum -- and most are hearing voices from their god.

remains the lunatic in charge is largely irrelevant. Remember, he got booed when he (unenthusiastically) recommended getting vaccinated. The MAGAts are so entrenched in their delusional hatreds that TFG himself barely even matters. They are the real problem now.

If TFG is the candidate in 2024 and he promises more corporate tax cuts they'll support him; if someone else comes along who can beat TFG in the primaries, who the big money people think can win the general and who promises what the big money people want (tax cuts and other favors), they'll support that person.

The republican party has long been an unholy alliance between the Unprincipled stupidly rich, and the Unprincipled stupidly stupid. The rich faction may want to declare the party over, but there's not enough of them to win elections. Will the stupid faction comply when they think they've found their messiah?

11. By 2024 - I Don't Think Tr**p Will Need Big Money.....

He's well on the way on building up a massive war chest of money and that is what he'll use if big money (corporate America) won't fund him.

Someone else here said it - if Tr**p promises more and bigger tax breaks and less and less regulation - he'll get corporate America's support.

And just like when he won the Repug primary in 2015/6 and in his campaign for the presidency - Tr**p will get help from the MSM - because Tr**p brings in the bucks for MSM. MSM loves Tr**p.

12. War Chest?

You sure?
He's certainly not above using that grift to cover interest payments on massive debt with both asset value & revenues plummeting.
He can't declare bankruptcy again, especially on the whole organization. It creates a public refutation, self a acknowledged, of his failures in business.
A good portion of his cult still buy that he's a brilliant businessman.
So, using that money to stave off collapse maintains the image with essentially free, no-interest money.
I don't think that warchest will be all that big 3 years from now.
