Traditionally when Presidents of the United States left office they focused on building libraries, preserving their legacies and supporting our country and its leaders in whatever way they can. The past presidents club has always been the most prestigious and unique group of men who shared an experience like no other. Currently it’s a minus one technical member of the club.
Has anyone noticed that there has been no talk about a Trump library?
No other former president in modern times has behaved as Donald Trump is doing. He left office six months ago. Became the only president to be twice impeached. Incited an insurrection on the nation’s Capitol trying to stop our electoral process from confirming his loss in the 2020 election to Joe Biden. Officially became a loser. And despite all that, he continues to try and wreck havoc with every part of our democracy he can get his hands on. What a guy.
The only thing Trump is interested in is preserving his power. That ominous quality that can be wielded, in his case, like the Sword of Damocles. It’s all he ever wanted. And the majority of Republicans are ignorant enough to buy into this sick charade. The only power he has as the retired guy sitting in Florida is what Republicans give him. It’s not about what good any of them can do for the country.
Imagine what would happen if Republicans stopped supporting Trump and his destructive ways. The power the former president assumes to have would evaporate. The image that comes to mind is that of the Wicked Witch of the West.
Grievance and manipulation were the ways of the Trump presidency as I documented in my book, “POLITICAL & OTHERWISE.” Yet somehow they are working their way into a time that is no longer his. This is the Biden era. And that is absolutely eating away at Trump who has nothing else to do but pretend he is still running the show.
President Biden is currently on the world stage at the G7 summit trying to restore respect and confidence in the United States among our allies that Trump did his best to erode.
Our former president is going back to doing rallies.
