General Discussion

He was tolerated before even though he was crass and classless because he gave good parties, but now even the most apolitical celebrity will know not to be seen with him if they want to stay popular.

I've noticed that unlike democratic presidents who take a short vacation then move on to the next project in their life - normally something that helps a segment of society, which keeps them in the news, etc. republicans tend to almost outright retire and disappear from the public eye. I wonder how much of it is their doing and how much of it is the party. They say democrats fall in love with their candidates, but republicans fall in line so after a republican's term is up, the party doesn't have any more use for them, and especially if they were perceived as unsuccessful like both Bushes, their treatment of their former presidents run from ignoring them to almost outright shunning.

Donald isn't the retiring type - especially when it comes to being in the public eye. So it will be interesting to see how the rest of the party treats him once he's out of office.
