He needs that attention from his base and with no Twitter to use he's going to go stock riding that.

He still hasn't paid multiple cities from the past. He got away with it then. He hopefully won't now.
He'll probably charge entry fees to these rallies which MAGAts will gladly pay at first. Although I suspect that some will start tiring of the charade.
He also won't have AF1 to fly to these rallies. Have to use his own planes and fuel them.

No one is going to extend Trump any credit. Given his pattern of not paying bills, it will be cash-up-front for everything.
Despite his craving for attention, Donald needs to make money. So on top of having to charge attendees a ticket price that will cover the aforementioned, Donnie's speaking fee (which would undoubtedly be exorbitant) would have to be covered as well.
I don't foresee any rallies in Donnie's future.
