Donald Trump's rebooted rallies have no place on your television

It’s better, smarter, and safer to keep Trump in the quarantined space he currently occupies.

"SNIP.....

Former President Donald Trump has lost access to some of the biggest guns in his political arsenal. He can no longer tweet directly to the masses; nor can his Facebook page gin up excitement and ardor among his fans. But starting this week, Trump is firing up his most powerful remaining weapon. The good news is there are ways to blunt its effects.

NBC News' Jonathan Allen reported Tuesday: "Trump returns to the electoral battlefield Saturday as the marquee speaker at the North Carolina Republican Party's state convention. He plans to follow up with several more rallies in June and July to keep his unique political base engaged in the 2022 midterms and give him the option of seeking the presidency again in 2024."

Trump's return to the rally circuit is a major shift in what has so far been a period of stasis and self-imposed exile at Mar-a-Lago, where he accepts supplicants seeking his blessing and sends out press releases on a blog nobody reads. By holding rallies again, even if theoretically for the benefit of other candidates, Trump will potentially regain a major platform. Let's hope the news media has learned its lesson from six years ago.

1. Trump says he's still President, and

2. His crowds may (or may not) believe he's still President, but

3. Right now, Trump has no Mojo, meaning:

4. Trump can't call up the military to attack any protests;

5. Trump can't declare war or instigate any military action against any country;

6. Trump can't sign Executive Orders;

7. Trump can't go on national TV;

8. Trump can't control his message;

9. Trump can't declare anyone an Enemy Combatant;

10. Trump can't initiate a nuclear war;

11. Trump simply is NOT a Player.


All Trump has is projections and wishes. He can't make life miserable for anyone, save for his family.


What the MAGAts liked about him was Trump was going to get even for all their past hurts, slights, and their loss of racial status. He can't do that now.

Why bother show up?

2. This!

3. These will fizzle out when no one shows up, just like his blog.

4. The media is addicted. The M$M thinks competency is boring.
