Reply to comment by androshalforc1 in Trump sues Jan. 6 committee over subpoena compelling him to testify and provide documents by Puzzleheaded-Debt716

He pretending he is. When he's in jail, it will really hit him hard.

IIRC Saddam Hussein still thought he could order people when he was captured and put in a jail cell.

Hes claiming he is still part of the executive branch of the government.. and shouldnt have to testify because of that.

There's no way the GOP would allow that. One term president, impeached twice, lost house and senate both to the democrats, then this year's mid terms had almost all his picks losing.

Take away all the fluff about him and his stats are shit, the GOP wants a winning candidate and he's not it.

He obviously still has a big following but I think the GOP will at least try to move on in 2024. You hear a lot of rumblings now which is why Trump will probably announce he is running any day now. Hopefully they dump him and it causes Trump to rip their party apart.

I could absolutely see him forming the MAGA party or some shit and ripping the GOP a new one. Would be fun to watch.

Trump running third party would guarantee a GOP loss. I'm not wishing for it but messing with power and money on a national scale like that is the kind of shit that gets people assassinated.

Much as this would destroy the Republican party as we know it today, I like the idea of more political parties in America. It causes parties to require compromise to get things done, instead of one of two major parties always angling for complete control.

Assuming a GOP split into multiple parties, I would support the Democratic party splitting into Centrist and Progressive parties for the same reason.

We already have caucuses within each party. Let's just make them full parties and do away with this GOP vs Democrat nightmare we have now that produces nothing but gridlock.

I wish we could have some form of parliamentary system of government, like the rest of the civilized world has. So sick of this two-party, shit see-saw.

The RNC already said they will stop covering his legal fees if he runs again in 2024.

That tells you all you need to know about their opinion of his political usefulness going forward.

The GOP will turn a blind eye to insurrection if someone's politically useful, but they turn on him fully the moment he costs them in the midterms.

Tells you all you need to know about the values and ethics of the GOP.

As someone that despises the orange menace, this person is right. At this point I am convinced Trump could shoot someone on camera and gain voters with no consequences.

Personally, my in-laws are both Trumpers AND DeSantis worshipers. Watching them break down in real time as their daddies fight is amusing.

Its actually pretty entertaining because while they coined the phrase "Never Trumpers", I think a good number of people joined the cult of "Trump or bust" and its going to really screw them come 2024 when it divides the party. Cults rarely have a peaceful change of leadership.

Idk why the downvotes.

Trump is a useless sack of shit, but he knows how to do one thing better than anyone. That's stay out of jail. He's been flaunting laws for decades, yet he was elected President and will announce his candidacy to run in 2024 in a matter of days 🤷‍♂️

Yes, but he is dealing with an entirely different caliber of federal and state investigations now. I believe he knows that his only chance now is delaying court proceedings. Once evidence is allowed to be presented to a jury or a FISA court, he's fucked.
