Precisely. Indubitably. And obviously.

It may very well be his last chance, not only for adulation, but for any attention at all. As a lame duck, he will be the most pathetic of losers, something his own internal code of conduct won't countenance. Should he lose (and he certainly should), I wonder if he will make any public appearances at all.

He can play out his stupid little sideshow until the day he keels over for all I care, and his suckers can keep getting grifted. The rest of us will move on with our lives and the business of the country.

and watch him criticize Biden and Harris and every other Democrat, while bragging about all his fictitious accomplishments.

He could also launch his 2024 campaign for President and solicit donations.

He might have someone write another book for him, and travel around to promote it.

There are all kinds of possibilities.

What they would pay is a higher entry fee for having him as their clown show, maybe wrestling or fighting venues.

But this is all for nothing. I heard that Joe is going to thank the magats in his victory speech for having already forgotten what's-his-name

The big ones will be Trump TV and Trump Radio - especially with the void Limbaugh’s death creates. Products / clothing too.

And he'll be challenging the validity of the election with accusations of fake news and fake results and the news media will feign confusion and will negligently validate the accusations and force the legitimately-elected Democrats to prove their case rather than vice versa. Yes, all of this will merely be rhetoric and the legal processes in place may lead us to the end we know awaits us in victory. But do not discount these rallies as a goodbye tour. This is and has been a part of his master plan all along. He doesn't govern. He rules. And he won't let go just because most of America hates him and wants him out.

Perhaps State and Local Governments will tell him to go fuck himself, unless he wants to submit approved protocols for crowd safety measures during his roadkill show, deposit the total cost up front for the security and crowd safety, and deposit the total venue cost up front.

Without the weight of the office behind him, he will have to toe the line like an ordinary schmuck. Frankly, without the financial backing of the RNC, his campaign, and the US taxpayer, I don't think he can afford to put on any more of these superspreader extravaganzas. Unless maybe Putin pays.

There might be some incentive atm because he's the president and they're currying favor. Or feel obligated to allow him to reach voters. But after he loses?

Who would host him? And why?
