What are the odds that Trump goes quietly?
President Trump apparently has his sights set on remaining relevant to his base, even if that base of supporters no longer has a leader to devote themselves to. As morbid as it may seem, President Trump is, according to Mayer’s reporting, interested in taking over Rush Limbaugh’s radio show if the longtime feverish conservative commentator passes away (he has stage four lung cancer). Trump awarded Limbaugh the Presidential Medal of Freedom in January, during a made-for-reality-TV State of the Union address.
I think there's a chance Trump tries to run in 2024. He certainly won't let Trump Jr. run. Maybe, Ivanka, but I don't think he would let either take his place in the MAGA spotlight. It will be interesting what the Republican Party does if Trump decided to run again. What piece of the party will still be faithful to him after four years of the same diatribe on his own radio show or as a Fox News contributor. One thing we know about Trump. He's lazy, so will he do any work to cultivate his MAGAots? Or will he depend on a producer like he had with The Apprentice? Someone who tells him where to stand and what to say?
I'm personally pulling for any Trump project to be housed at a state of federal prison. That would make my day.
