    I mean, that is the only play he could make, of course, but his image of a big, strong, brilliant business billionaire will be very difficult to maintain while he is sitting in the poorhouse. He will be stripped of his entire identity of anything other than a big fat, drooling, dumb ass crybaby. I don’t know that his supporters will be very interested in voting for that anymore.

      That might work if they had a chance to see him through any other lens than their self-imposed media bubble.

      Trump’s public persona in those spaces never bore any resemblance to reality and they’ll keep curating his messianic image until well after he’s in the ground.

        It’s a lens, not a magic portal to another dimension. There’s only so much it can distort before it will break.

          It’s actually closer to a magic portal to another dimension than you think. Have you ever watched OAN or Newsmax?

            I saw them suddenly shut up about voting machines.
