Trump's revenge tour: Ex-president is 'plotting to settle the score with disloyal Republicans who voted for his impeachment after his trial concludes
Donald Trump is plotting a campaign revenge tour targeting Republican defectors after the Senate impeachment trial concludes, sources have said.
Strategists at Trump's Florida Mar-a-Lago private resort where he now lives are planning potential trips against GOP members who voted in support of his removal from office, according to Business Insider that cited six sources.
'I'm sure he wants to get out a roulette wheel with all their faces on it,' one of the Republicans who remains close with Trump and his inner circle said.
The former president is currently lying low as House Democrats prepare to make their case that Trump was directly responsibly for the January 6 Capitol riots.
Trump refused a challenge from Democrats on Thursday to testify at the Senate impeachment trial proceedings, that will begin on February 9.
----------------
Trump's advisers are being cautious about exactly when the former president should return to the media spotlight, not wanting him to attack every possible target.
However, they also don't want him to lose his grip on the GOP, and are keen to hand him back the megaphone and speak publicly again as soon as possible.

757 (N757AF)
Trump purchased from Paul Allen in 2011. She was built in 1991 and used by Mexican carrier TAESA for several years.
It's one of the most expensive private aircraft in the World. Trump claims to have paid $100M for it, those "in the know" say closer to $50M.
After purchase from Allen, more than $10M in refits.
Citation X (N725DT)
Purchased for around $20M
Sikorsky S76 (x3)
Trump purchased three S76's to service his company and clients in NYC, Florida and Scotland.
I does no one any good to make up stories about political opponents, no matter how (very) repugnant.

(12,440 posts)Trump has everything held in separate companies.
When one goes under, doesn't affect the others. He's never personally declared bankruptcy.
I read somewhere that the "Trump Corporation" has 500 companies under it's umbrella and Trump is the principal or sole owner of all 500.
We need so many changes to our economy. The way the rich are permitted to "stack" wealth **should** be a crime.

(45,806 posts)still has his diehards, but the saner Pubs have ditched him. I believe he can go do his revenge tour as long as he wants, but all he'll get is a reaffirmation of his crazies. Those who stick with him will lose their elections & MAYBE we'll finally be rid of the orange JA.
I'm hoping he continue with establishing a new Party (the so called Patriots Party)! That will split the Pubs so they'll never win an election again!

The senate needs to make this an anonymous ballot for the safety of the country, and for the safety of the members who would vote to convict if their lives, and the lives of their families, aren't going to be put in danger.
Way too many lives hang in the balance for this vote to be public.

(10,136 posts)former presidents do get a travel allowance and some staff, but IIRC it is limited. And any venue that doesn't get paid in advance for security, clean-up, and other items is going to get screwed.
There is that big slush fund he raised after the election, supposedly to "investigate voting irregularities" or whatever, but he's not going to spend what he considers his money.

(1,990 posts)The man would literally show up to empty buildings. He's a private citizen. He's not running for any office. There is no election going on. At least 60% of Republicans are glad he is gone. As the days pass, more and more realize its good he is gone and they care less and less every day. Seriously, what idiots are going to pay Trump to watch him - a private citizen - stand on a stage and air his grievances? Even his die-hards got tired of the nonsense. His relevance is over.
Politicalgolfer
(317 posts)...every word he bellows & promoting attendance to rallies. Other outlets will ignore him. He will also drag around their new Golden Girl, MTG, who will be promoted as he's VP for his next run. The money will pour in to keep this fascist traveling hate fest on the road😠

(3,131 posts)He wouldnt spend a dime of his own money on a tour like that.
Could they put together a trumps traveling troupe of terrorist traitors and pay him for the branding? Maybe. Something like a tea party 2.0
