Either way he's going to destroy what's left of the tattered Repug party. Good riddance. Hopefully something will rise from the ashes that resembles a real party interested in what's best for the people of this country. Not holding my breath, I'm too old for that

as successful as TruthSocial, and that he needs the Repubs … either to support him or to be destroyed by him.

He will continue to siphon away money from the GOP (especially other potential Presidential candidates) as long as possible while painting current legislators as mostly inept losers with boring lives.

Would announcing that he seeks the nomination for President of the United States help to delay any important court cases or investigations?

I feel he will run in the hopes of running out the clock on some liabilities, and having the chance of pardons to his family, friends and himself.

So he can grab every dollar in donations he can. Not have to share shit with any other candidate for anything else. Greed. Just greed

He's been teasing about starting his own party for awhile now; The Patriot Party.

Folks, if that happens, we should all be dancing in the damn streets! That will split the Republican base so hard. It's a early Christmas gift!

15. Three possibilities

Nov 2022

1) announces Presidential run

2) demands McConnell/McCarthy resign and if they don't he will launch a third party The Great American Party

3) Relaunching the Apprentice along with new Trump steaks and new steak knives. His supporters can get in on the ground floor with a monthly $ 29.99.

He is going to oversea this worldwide empire from Abu Dhabi.

from the 'Puke party infrastructure. Even this moron understands that a viable third party needs more than two years.

Then there's the possibility of getting his revenge on McTurtle and any other "infidels" left in that party. It'll be like the bully who hooks up with someone else's partner. "Hey, look at us. They love me more!!!!". We know he operates 98%out of spite. He's like an anti Semitic Larry David, times 1000.

Are all public. He'll lose right from the start. The grifting will dwindle. He'll go broke.
