Peeked at Fox News - they said trump should campaign for Loeffler and Perdue in Georgia

so he can leave office on a high note.

I guess they want him to hold back to back super spreader rallies across the state of Georgia for the next 8 weeks.

I think trump's more likely to turn on republicans and take his trumpers with him.

I guess we're about to find out.

Will not. That was the idea. Trump will not campaign for anyone. He is too busy scheming for himself.

BTW has Putin congratulated Biden?

He has no interest in the Republican Party. “Leaving on a high note” is a totally foreign concept to him.

Now that I think about it, the only way he'd do it is if he could resign first, get a federal pardon, and then receive payment for campaigning.

That's not how Transactional Man operates. Trump's fans don't know him at all. Lots of people who have dealt with Trump through the years, including his niece, have said that he only does things for people when he's getting something in return. If he doesn't get anything, he feels he was cheated. I guess the Trumpers never hear anything negative about him. It's a massive case of self-deception.

I was going to post this very thing and you beat me to it. If something doesn't stand to make him money or stroke his ego he will have no interest in it. Campaigning to help someone else get elected now that he's been ousted? Shit, what's in that for him? Trump doesn't actually give a rats ass about the Republican party. They were merely a means to an end for him.
