Will the rally-addict go "cold turkey"? I can't imagine that, but what can he do?

How is Trump going to hold more rallies?

Will he campaign for the Republicans in the two run-off Georgia races for senator? (But then he won't be the focus of attention and they would be at the mic more than he would. I can't imagine him standing for that.)

Will he declare a 2024 run for the presidency, get money from his supporters for his campaign and use a great portion of that on rallies?

Or will he, at least after Jan. 20, be too involved in legal battles concerning prior lawless activity?

Rallies are now part of him; he's addicted; how will he get his next "fix"?

I think he should be barred from using AF1 for anything but official government business.

Maybe it's time his doctors tell us the truth about his actual health issues - physical and cognitive.

It's going to be 'edge of our seat' time until January 20.

Failed businessman, failed President, owing 400 million is not much of a resume. I have a better one. I have actually worked.

By January, they're going to be like the natives of Skull Island after King Kong was captured. Listless, depressed, demoralized; they had their god taken away from them...

All of the ones he's done have been on someone else's dime.

We've seen the end of tRump speaking in public.
