Burning Down The House

Yeah, there's been a dust-up over Donald Trump's breaking bread with Kanye West and Nick Fuentes.  I was not surprised.  

Then he called for the suspension of the Constitution of the United States and reinstatement as president.  I was unsurprised.  

This is what Trump does.  Testing the limits of outrageous behavior is his most endearing personality disorder.  Gaslighting his antagonists too.  He is a master at disrupting the news cycle.

Then there came the Kabuki theater and the ensuing dance.  Asked about this last week and over the weekend a few establishment Republicans expressed shock and called for an apology.  Several sounded perturbed.  A remaining couple implied this was fatiguing.  Yet most all were uniformly silently noncommittal and tiptoed evasively around the subject matter.  You'd think there was a booby trap tripwire in the room.  Is this because they are afraid?  That would imply they are cowards.  Are they waiting for another shoe to drop?  That would imply they know more than they admit. 

But I digress.  Enough with any baseless speculation.

Of critical importance is this:  If anyone thinks any of this has diminished Trump; they didn't read the memo.

Donald Trump is going to be the 2024 GOP candidate for president.  That is a fact, Jack.

Trump lost the last three election cycles and depending-upon the outcome of today's Georgia runoff, may have not only have delivered Joe Biden the senate on a silver platter, but committee control as well.  Nevertheless, he's declared his candidacy and will be the nominee. 

The 2024 election - especially the run-up - is certainly going to be interesting.

I can barely contain my enthusiasm.
