If Trump still wanted to be center stage I'd expect him to try a hell of a lot harder, amirite? Think about it. He's a massively fired old man in lousy shape. Melania is about to kill him in the divorce. Johnny law is after him and he's no damned use to anyone anymore. Trump is passing into irrelevance, this time NOT before our very eyes.

On the line is not only the GOP Presidential nomination if Trump doesn't run, but a VP Sweepstakes if Trump does run. Since it won't be Mike Pence, for a Hawley or a Haley being picked for VP would be the next best thing. I wonder if Trump will pick whomever makes Trump the most money between now and then.

He/they could come back and institute a fascist crypto-state and destroy American democracy forever. And I'd have to give a f--- about that, if I wasn't in a prison camp by then. But in the mean time I'm reading news stories about an American government that does its homework and thinks about the American people not as marks but as citizens and taxpayers, and thinks about America not as a cesspit of division and private profit centers but as a real country with a common future shared by all its citizens. If I have to think about this ex-president and his agents and channelers I guess I will, but not until absolutely necessary. I feel so free right now, knowing they're silent and/or ineffective.
