There may be a strategic reason Steve Bannon got a pardon. Breitbart News.

Steve could put together something similar for Trump.

Trump’s brand is pretty tarnished. But… I wouldn’t count him out.

The thing is, what what the programming be? It can’t just be Trump rambling because that would get old soon, even for Trumpists. So there’d have to be something like a reincarnation of The Apprentice; that could work. But then what? Keeping Up With the Trumps?

I think a more likely (but still not very) option is for Trump to have his own show like The Apprentice where he also gets short monologues, like early Seinfeld episodes.

They will all come back, mainly as recycled T-shirts, recycled [MooGa](https://schumanchu.eu/html/l/l_00048moo~too.html)-caps, [tramp stamp](https://schumanchu.eu/html/l/l_00045trump~stamp.html) motif, stuck-over bumper stickers, compost and flatworms. Some will glow faintly in the dark with an orange hue.

I was watching the farewell ceremony live when he made this comment. (I wanted to witness, with my own eyes in real time, his walk out of the White House and his departure on AF1.)

When he said this, I immediately envisioned him unzipping his skinsuit to allow thousands of squirming grubs to spill free.

That depends greatly on where the transition team sent the mattresses and bedding that they removed. If they weren’t burned in an [ultra-high temperature furnace](https://www.harperintl.com/carbon-fiber-systems/ultra-high-temperature-furnaces-uht/) for at least 4 hours, all bets are off.
