these days. He is rapidly becoming irrelevant, even as a political figure. That must wound his ego in a big way.
He thought he would be a powerful force in GQP politics after losing the election for his second term, but that does not appear to be the case, as time goes by. I don't think his influence is going to grow in the future, either.
Good riddance to The Donald!

(7,715 posts)remember that his best friend was voted sexiest creature in Russia. I was going to post a link but it seems that every media site carrying this story is a Murchdoch-owned entity, a Russian state media, or a tabloid.
The monster purporting to be the 45th President probably is hoping he'll get the US equivalent? Rupert Murdoch: do your thang!

(115,683 posts)he will also become increasingly irrelevant to other GOP politicians. They might feel like they have to kiss his ass now, but at some point his influence will fade and those who want to run in 2024 will see that they will have to cultivate voters themselves.

(19,060 posts)Trump lived off Twitter and it suited him perfectly as he could rant unfiltered without any real effort. Now he has to call someone to type up a press release when the moment hits him, it's not the instant gratification he needs to continue having a voice.
This is all so great.
