WSJ: Trump musing about how he can stay relevant in the media, in the GOP, and make money

After Setbacks, Trump Looks Beyond Legal Fight
Publicly, president says he will ‘never concede.’ Privately, he is focused on his political future as Biden transition moves forward.
....

More recently, administration officials say, the president’s focus appears to have broadened. In private conversations, he has polled advisers on what he should do next, musing about how he can stay relevant in the media and in the Republican Party and how he can earn money.

He has repeatedly expressed interest in running for president again in 2024, which some advisers have urged him to do as a way to save face, telling him he can decide whether to follow through later.

People close to the president don’t expect him to formally concede or acknowledge that he lost the election at any point. Mr. Trump’s lawyers, they say, will likely keep up the appearance of a fight until the Electoral College holds its formal vote on Dec. 14. The campaign has sent dozens of emails a day seeking to raise money by citing the legal fight, a portion of which is going to a leadership PAC the president controls.

not cause him to get less of whatever attention he wants. No national news or cable news (except the usual suspects) will bother travelling to Mar-a-Lago to listen to him ramble.

If he was still in NYC, he'd be much more accessible to print and broadcast media and the scandal sheets although the Natl Enquirer is based in FL.

then you have to click on "Next" to get the next few paragraphs/ads. Don't the owners get so many cents/page/ad? With his way of rattling off the head, you'd never make it to the end.

He'd be able to feed his ego, lie his head off and make money at the same time.

I'm talking about those "12 Foods Not To Eat if You Suffer From ........." or "Check Out the Trump Family Mansion, Room by Room"

He could use all the greatest, biggest, most famous, bigliest, yadda, yadda, yadda he wants.
