"We will be back in some form"

Me too - specifically I was thinking Vincent D’Onofrio from the first Men In Black movie.

We wish him as much success in this venture as he has displayed in his many other business ventures.

They’re already vermicious knids.

I totally agree Trump’s brand is completely shattered. The Jan 6 Capitol attack ended his political future. I hope the Impeachment trial ends Trump’s political ambitions permanently.

Ivanka may run for office in Florida. Otherwise the Trumps are poison.

We so need a Like button here.

Unless Ivanka’s the face of it it’ll fail. Too much of the old man and even the faithful would get disenchanted as they realize he’s rapidly getting stupider and more senile.

I sincerely hope they are back in the form of a splintered Republican Party… the “Freedom Party” or whatever BS name they want to call it. Siphon off those R votes. Make it happen! :pray:

Well, he still has one supporter:

VICE: " We Spoke to a Lone Trump Supporter at Biden’s Inauguration"

Vice: “Trump has repeatedly said that the election was stolen. Do you believe that?”
Guy: “I do believe it, yes. It was stolen by their incompetence and by their carelessness.”
Vice: “Who’s they?”
Guy: “The Trump campaign.”

With supporters like this, who needs the GOP?

Like Oogie Boogie in The Nightmare Before Christmas.

He can’t get the money to back it, and he doesn’t have the stamina to appear on it. It’s just too much work, and he’s too depressed to think about it (I hope). I predict it won’t happen. He may hook up with some news network (new or existing) as an occasional flapping mouth, but it won’t add up to anything.

I don’t disagree with the immediate above. But it brings a thought.

It’s a hell of a note that perhaps the only reason we don’t suffer a Fascist takeover in the next 4 years is that the Fascist-in-Chief is too elderly / infirm to work that hard.

How many civilizations have been saved by Father Time?

Possibly, as a generalization — nearly everyone loses a step. Kim Jong-Il dying old, of natural causes, rather than being eliminated by a hungry successor, for example, may be something of an exception.

But in Trump’s specific case, I would say that he’s always been lazy and stupid. The red button he had on his desk — “press and a Diet Pepsi will appear” — can be extrapolated to his whole career. He’s always sat in the center of his network of made men, issuing demands and stating desires, and waited for other people to figure out the details and deliver the results. He has never, ever been one to roll up his sleeves and sweat out the specifics.

His political power over the last few years, and his success as a leader (such as it is), came because smarter people behind the scenes recognized that he was a very powerful Noise Cannon that could be aimed at various obstacles. He himself never actually did anything.

ETA: The point being, of course, now that he’s no longer surrounded by such people, and/or they no longer have much interest in him, his power to do anything more than just make noise is dissipating rapidly. I concede it may be dangerous noise, but there’s no action accompanying it.

Or maybe:

You can still buy the Donald Trump Toilet Brush. https://www.amazon.com/Bioexcel-Donald-Trump-Toilet-Holder/dp/B07KW7526B

Now that is awesome.

He’s baaaaaaaaaaaack!

As noted and discussed in the immortal Clusterfuck thread, Trump has created an “Official” :roll_eyes: “Office of the Former President”, from which he will attempt to use his vestigial political clout to maintain and continue the Trump Administration.

You might remember, some comic genius created a modified Seal Of The President featuring a two-headed Russian eagle. Instead of lightning bolts and olive branches, its claws held golf clubs and a bunch of money. The banner in its beak said, “45 es un titere.” Somebody managed to get it mounted on the lectern at one of Trump’s speeches.

Sin titere. Tu eres la titere.

Update

Sadly, there is more of a chance to see Trump coming back with his own anti social media group than to see the promised sequel to Buckaroo Banzai.

Although we may have the chance to see Peter Weller approach Trump and henchmen in his production building and point at them and make them run like hell when Weller says:

Buckaroo Banzai:
There! Evil PURE AND SIMPLE by way of the Eighth Dimension! Burn them!
