Based on the obvious high levels of Trump support, many have theorized that The Orange One may run again in 2024. This is why a lot of Republicans aren't saying much right now, nor are they throwing Trump under the bus in order that they might save themselves. That might still be coming, but not for awhile. They dare not rile the substantial base. No Blue Wave, and probably a GOP majority in the Senate make for an almost guaranteed divided government, which, historically, is very good for the economy but not great for the incoming president because a lot of potential legislation will get killed in the Senate. This leads to charges of an administration that can't accomplish it's goals. Fertile ground for an opportunist like Trump.
IMO, you won't see Trump again, except perhaps in a TV show or even on his own Trumpapalooza network, where he can tell whatever lies or peddle any conspiracy theory he wants. The one thing that could stop him dead in his tracks is potential criminality. Once the protective layers of the DOJ and the office of the presidency itself are stripped away, we're probably going to see the taxes, find out who has really been financing him, and how he abused the office to profit himself, friends, and family. That might convince some of you, but most of you won't buy it, even if the evidence is iron-clad and irrefutable. That's just how you roll...denial.
Maybe he'll pardon himself or somehow escape most of it, but I doubt it. We'll see. Maybe he'll convince Don Jr. to run, because Trumpism isn't dead even if Trump himself is gone. All of the Trumptards who love him will create more excuses and conspiracy theories to absolve their hero. Another 170,000 Americans are predicted to die of Covid by January 20th, which would bring us to approximately 400,000 dead on Trump's watch. Nothing to see here.
Trump, 2024!!!
