How? The only way he knows to communicate is tweets. Since he got cut off, he aged another 10 years and turned into a greeter at his club/home.

Trump’s “leadership still matters a great deal.”

Vaccinations or no, I think we’ve experienced more than enough of Trump’s “leadership.” I’ll be perfectly happy if we never hear another bowl of word salad from him again. Ever.

It’ll happen, right around the time pigs fly. In formation. Doing acrobatics.

Right! This is absolutely a no-brainer . . . but then neither Trump nor Pence has any brains, go good luck with that Admiral. But thanks anyway for trying.

I believe the euphemism was “thin”.

I protest and I protest loudly here! No no no he does not need to do a damn thing but stay away and stay shut the fuck up.

Do not give him ideas that he is necessary.

As far as he is concerned all his fans can die off once they have contributed to the max.

Trump shouldn’t say jack except to plead ‘not guilty’ at his arraignment(s).

Excellent trolling from the Biden admin. Pelosi-class.

OT: Right does matter, after all. Congratulations, Col. Vindman! It’s Yevgeny, not Alexander, but nevertheless.

As far as Trump saying anything, I think the damage is done. The window where he could have said something constructive regarding vaccinations to his base is over. If he says something now, his base will simply think he’s being coerced.

He should.
He won’t.

Because his first and only thought is ALWAYS: What’s in it for me?”

Had exact same thought. Unless he can strut and mug that the vaccine came from his own stable genius.

Embrace weakness? Not likely. Besides donald has no platform. He’s pooped on Fox, is banned from social media and generally increasingly ignored. His “base” is now the Q cult and they’re not about to indulge in getting a dose of lizard people tracking chips that make yer arms multiply into spider legs.
