Well, since you are here… I still have my fingers crossed that the CFSG is going to jail, or some other sign of karma working. ---

> [@Spoons](#): > > He could endorse and be the face of a non-Trump charity, or go on a speaking tour (not rallies; I’m talking university lecture halls and hotel conference rooms where the price of admission is out of reach of most Trump supporters), or host a celebrity golf tournament at Mar-a-Lago for a non-Trump charity. That kind of thing would keep him front and centre, without reminding Americans of his political failures. His last charity was shut down for being a fraudulent organization so that’s out. Nobody would go to see him if it was not a free rally. He would not draw anyone who actually had to pay to hear his drivel. Golf tournament is out - the PGA wants nothing to do with his name, and won’t even play at his courses. No golfers of any stature would attend. He’s just going to continue to be ignored. ---

> [@Spoons](#): > > host a celebrity golf tournament at Mar-a-Lago I was under the mistaken impression that Mar-a-Loco featured a golf course. Looking at it in satellite view, it appears that it has broad swaths of stuff that requires frequent sheep or mowing but there only seems to be one green-like blob, near the main building. At what I measure as about two acres, it would be great for driving balls off the lawn into the bay but no way suitable for even a golf match between doctors. ---

> [@Procrustus](#): > > I believe Membership at that club includes access to a nearby course. The golf course that has his name on it is in West Palm Beach, about 4 miles from Mar-a-Loco, so, whatever your definition of nearby is, I suppose. Curiously, that golf course is right next to the Palm Beach County Main Detention Center, which might inspire one’s imagination. ---

I’m thinking Superpac scam and MAGA merch as long as it lasts. He’s got tens of millions of very guillable people who believe he’s the new and improved savior who has come to save them from liberals and black people. He’ll find a way to soak them for every last cent. ---

This. His power is not in getting large donations from few fatcats, but in getting small donations from millions of MAGAts. Who have short attention spans but are easily amused. ---
