Don’t pay any attention to these usurpers. I’m the President!!!
King McAfee is much more prestigious.
I’m just saying - Charles Stewart was still alive when the Constitution was being written; you’d think the framers would be wary about pretenders.
I am visualizing the Secret Service agents who’ve had to put up with him thinking, “Your proposal is acceptable”.
And the first time someone commits a felony following one of his “executive orders,” he could be charged with conspiracy or something, right? (IANAL, obviously.)
That’s consistent with my seeing nothing useful from Pence the four years he was governor of Indiana.
I’m going to flesh this out a bit later. Feel free to add on or start a new thread - possibly - “Trump, the next generation or until he dies.”
I see DumpsterFire using his mob experience to lean on OAN or Newsmax (I think that’s the other echo chamber) and take over one or both. “I’m your content. Play ball or I’ll freeze you out.”
The new name will be “Trump News Network” because he likes to see his name and “TNN” is a slap at CNN who/whom? he sees as his chief nemesis (subject to any particular time of day or phase of the moon). I’m seeing a Gold logo because (have you been paying attention?).
Same format as Faux, shouting teleprompter readers and blondes. He’ll try to poach the more obsequious contributors as well. Same pressure tactic on Hannity and Carlson to drag them and their mailing lists along.
Instead of Fox and Friends, the new show will be “Trump and Friends”. Host will be Ivanka to get her out in the public (mouth-breathers) eye. DumpsterFire will be a frequent guest and call in. I’ve played with the idea of an all female cast but McEnemy and/or Guilfoyle have too much “presence” pushing the Wax Princess back into the couch faster than Spicer into a hedge. Even Huckabee who’s no threat in the fashion or looks department has more gravitas than blonde Barbie (enough name calling? I learned it throughout the last 4 years).
The usual gang of sycophants and pardon recipients will be the “experts/shadow cabinet” of his government and appear as experts.
Other guest will be all the white wing trolls he’ll try to primary RINOs with for the next House election. He’ll do hit pieces on the weak kneed Republicans who accepted the election results. He won’t need to primary all of them; just enough to “send a message” in mobspeak.
I expect heil retain Joseph Goebbels Stephen Miller as Reich Minister of Propaganda (Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda - Wikipedia).
Any additions gratefully accepted.
Good description of the last four years in the WH.
Nobody cleans his ass as well as Pence does.
I think that kind of programming will take up less than half the airtime. The rest will be taken up with advertising for Trump flags and Trump shirts and Trump swag, at first.
Then, as Trump develops more and more endeavors to fleece his fans, we’ll get long infomercials for the rebooted Trump University. Then there will be really long infomercials for homes in the new Trump branded housing subdivisions - Trump Village!, where a half million dollars will get you a $250,000 home in a neighborhood of like-minded people willing to overpay in order to live among other people that think Trump is still President.
I think ultimately the Trump Channel will be 15% political content and 85% marketing for various Trump ventures intended to rip-off his supporters.
I mean what would change from his perspective? He’s at Maralago all the time anyway, he continues to receive intelligence briefs that he ignores, he continues to have press conferences, the secret service is still there, he continues to sign executive orders that may or may not come to pass. What exactly is the difference aside from not having access to Air Force 1 anymore?
Maybe it’ll be like that scene from Baseball Bugs – until January 20 anyway.
Maybe he can move in with Javanka!
I see what you did there.
Oh yeah, this will definitely be a moneymaking venture. Otherwise, what’s the point? If Donnie could Get Religion at some point and turn himself into a church/religious organization, he could make out like a friggin’ bandit! And maybe get the IRS off his back, too. Mar-a-Lago could become tax-free. Promise the MAGAts an eternity at his right hand in heaven the next world… dyn-o-mite! Get to work on that, Rudy! Make it so!
I’ve been saying for weeks he’s gonna fuck off to Florida, claim the mantle of President, and try to maintain a schism. It won’t be a real bid for power, he has never actually liked the job of President and he doesn’t want to keep doing it; he just wants, like, the penumbra.
One thing Trump is very adverse to is doing actual work. He’ll happily loan them his name for monetary remuneration, but actually planning and doing any kind of work or holding an actual schedule would be too much for the golfing pissbaby.
When twitter suspends his account, he will start posting from @WhitestHouse to inform us that he has filled the Ovular office with canisters of corbomite that he will set off, killing us all, if we try to remove him. It will be the ultimate Kobiyashi Mar-a-Lago scenario.
