I know King Turd has his diehard fans, but seriously, is there really a significant group of even the GOP that wishes this guy were louder and more visible? It feels like such a relief to only have to deal with his shit by choice. Wanting things back the way things were just a few months ago would be like getting over a bad case of food poisoning but wishing you still had diarrhea.

Trump only has ever cared about himself. He wants the attention, he wants it to all be about him. When he was president, he of course helped the GOP reach some of their goals, but only in so far as it benefitted him to do so. But now what can he do for the GOP? Only make noise, distract, get involved where heās not wanted, and actively backstab GOP leadership as they attempt to move on. But heās losing his grip on at least a portion of his base, which means heās losing his power over GOP leadership. Heās back to being all talk now, and frustrated over not being able to use his preferred channels and reach the same scale of audience. I can only see him continuing to lash out and attack any and all targets even if it wonāt benefit himself beyond just saving a little face over being unwanted, a loser and a pariah.

Aimless: wouldn't that, then, be good news?
I take it as better than most of the alternatives. The critical thing so far has been the removal of his Twitter account. He has no method of amplifying his momentary thoughts and he's too lazy to find and learn a more difficult tool. How he rose to the presidency in face of his universal incompetence is an insoluble mystery.

I'm waiting for him to do an arena tour. I liked the recent David Roth tweet, too, where he predicted that a commercial starring Trump seems inevitable, and inevitably (even if very much in character) super tacky.

his being banned from twitter a few months ago instead of a decade ago does help explain at least some of his success

Not that I have any faith in Zuckerberg doing the right thing, ever, unless basically forced to, but I appreciated this from the above link:
Notably, the board also told Facebook it needed to consider several other measures, including āa comprehensive review of Facebookās potential contribution to the narrative of electoral fraud and the exacerbated tensions that culminated in the violence in the United States on January 6.āThe board said such a review āshould be an open reflection on the design and policy choices that Facebook has made that may allow its platform to be abused.ā
