Go for it, Trump!

Everything else that you've attempted has been SO successful. Give it a shot. What do you have to lose?

(Psst. Donald. Remember the title of Rick Wilson's book?)

Trump wouldn't start his own party if he wasn't going to get it's nomination.

just to make sure he got his way all those years. He figured correctly that they would fall for his bluff. He aint never gonna start any party of his own. He's too fucking dumb and he'll be thrown under the bus by everyone soon who hasn't already thrown him under it.

He couldn't even manage a simple thing like wearing a mask so HTF does he think he can start another party?

I know, he's not talking about himself doing the work, but still...

And where's the money coming from since he already owes hundreds of millions at least?

Best forget about it, turdie boy. Like I said, it's over for you.

but in reality he is so dumb he probably hasn't ever won a game of tic tac toe much less a real game of chess. He's like Lauren Boebert denying something she never was accused of doing. There literally must be 70 million of these Dunning Kreuger types out there, and that is fucking frightening as fuck!

If he'd not backstabbed the Republicans, and then, when the shit hit, turned around and backstabbled the insurrectionists, he could've had a chance.

The reality is that Trump has no future. He's 74, ass deep in debt, on target for half a dozen nonfederal prosecutors, and has burned every bridge to anyone who could help him. His life is gonna be miserable and frustrating from hereon out. It ain't much, but it's the best karma could muster under the circumstances.

Once Melania leaves him, I don't think Hope Hicks will even want him anymore.
