Such as campaigning for state legislatures to award Trump electoral votes regardless of what the vote is.

A national tour of states he won. I can see that.

He doesn't care about the republican party but he cares about his own ego and milking money off his campaign/cult followers.

millions of dollars.) That thing needs adoration like the rest of us need oxygen.

So he won't stop, ever. But he'd have to pay for them. He could do that, I suppose, by announcing he's running again in 2024, and the MAGAts would empty their pockets for him again.

But this one lives in his own reality. He's already doing it, claiming it was stolen from him and he's the victim of a major fraud. I heard someone on the radio cautioning that this might just make him into a martyr. We can't argue anymore that people aren't that stupid because this shouldn't have even been close.

if he continues to hold rallies as long as people will show up for them. If he charges admission, he could make a few bucks. He needs the attention and adoration, and there are plenty of Trumpers to keep them going.

his delusion is enough to think he still has a chance to a second term. I do think he'll try to do "I was robbed of the election" rallies as long as he can use AF1 at our expense. He'll stop if he has to pay for them himself.

security, and the word had gotten around bus companies that he wouldn't pay, etc -- what if the agencies/businesses involved refused to do business with him? (Like US banks do now!)

He’s way too needy for the attention. None of this was about MAGA. It was always about HIM. That won’t change.

narcissistic supply, but he will barely, if at all, mention the candidates. He has often forgotten until the last minute to mention the candidate he was stumping for, and then just mentioned them once, in a rush.
