What does the future hold for Donald Trump? - threadbans in OP

alchemist33

I've seen two main options put forward on this forum, (1) that he'll remain a political force until the 2024 primaries start up and the Republicans have to take him seriously or (2) that he'll be so mired in litigation that he'll have no time for politics.

There are of course other options for the next 4 years - prison, exile, death or ill-health (he isn't young and he's been under stress), no politics but a business success, emperor. But it'd be an interesting exercise for people to lay their cards on the table now and make their predictions.

Personally I think his political influence will die quickly after the Capitol fiasco but someone else will emerge in 2 years, once the memories have waned, to be the standard-bearer for the QAnon wing.

Maybe it is just a coincidence. Or maybe it is a massive dog whistle to the stupider sections of trumps base. You don't think that is possible?

I doubt stupid people would know the meaning of the symbol, notice the symbol from that angle or be capable of putting it all together.

So on this occasion I find the possibility be a negative.

Do you think the when they were collaborating and planning the stage design with the appropriate company that someone on the staff said in the meeting " let's try fit in a white supremacy or nazi symbol if possible " ?

I think that entirely possibly. His supporters may be stupid but they do seem to like their symbology. To suggest that his supporters wouldn't recognise it is ignoring the reality of who they are. Why else pick that particular design?

I think we will just have to agree to disagree on this

Speculation that Trump will announce today but I don't think he'll do it for a while yet. Bit too early imo.

Again, how many coincidences/oh you're reading too much into that/that didn't actually mean that does it take to be a dogwhistle?

Announce what? His tax returns?

That he's going to run in 2024 obviously.

It is not a question of disagreeing. You have dismissed the possibility because it makes you incomfortable. Perhaps have a think about why you so readily dismissed the possibility.

Have you forgotten? ExMachina1000 is never wrong, he told us so himself.

I don't think the Republican party would want that at this time.

Probably best to wait until all the lawsuits are over, he'll be in jail by then with any luck.

I would say the truth probably lies somewhere in the middle, with people involved in planning/stage design knowing what they were up and those in charge missing out on the silent nod.

See: $88 baseballs, Nazi "emojis", and so on.

Of course it's hard to keep that stuff incognito when you've got Trump out and about retweeting "white power!" videos.

Tell me how

The Republican party has no control over what is happening.
This CPAC is all but a Trump branded event. With the way McCarthy, Graham and McConnell have acquiesced to the concept of him remaining in power and with the secondary level 'influencers' of Cruz, Hawley, Rubio, DeSantis etc all still firmly in his camp, I think they are merely clinging on to the back of the Republican bus which he has hijacked.

Maybe it is all just a ploy knowing that his health, legal concerns or other will remove him eventually and then they can claim to this 74M voters that they were on board with him.

I think there has been an attempt to try to push Don Jr forward as a viable candidate but apparently his speech this week didn't come across so well and he is a PR nightmare to this point, but, his father wasn't much different. I reckon Ivanka will also come out of this with the support of the Republican party behind her when she attempts to take office somewhere before her inevitable run for the big one.

All very very interesting to see evolve even if there is a underlying sense of despair and negativity that these charlatans could advance so much in plain sight.

I dismissed it because it's not a real thing. Even suggesting that its plausible seems like an opinion of fantasy.

Nice to see that the Trump hotel in Washington DC has hiked their rates for March the 4th, which is the day Trump supporters believe he will be inaugurated as the 19th President of the United States. Grifters gonna grift.

2.1 million votes and election equipment heading for a forensic audit.

Maybe nothing will come off this, still interesting all the same especially seeing that the board of supervisors argued that they were secret and the senate had no right to them.

If they come to DC on that day and try anything, hopefully security forces will give them a good battering.

You'd need a much larger bingo ticket to make that in any way interesting. That whole thing will be marked off by the end, if not in the first five minutes.

Its March the 4th the Trump wingnuts believe that he will be inaugurated. And he will be the 19th American President because they think every President since Ulysses Grant has been illegitimate

They've 5,000 National Guard troops stationed till at least March the 4th. Theres some chatter on Gab and Telegram about another insurrection but the FBI think its small numbers

Meanwhile that statue of Trump placed at the CPAC Conference-
