Trump has discussed starting a new political party

President Trump has talked in recent days with associates about forming a new political party, according to people familiar with the matter, an effort to exert continued influence after he leaves the White House.

Mr. Trump discussed the matter with several aides and other people close to him last week, the people said. The president said he would want to call the new party the "Patriot Party," the people said.

Mr. Trump has feuded in recent days with several Republican leaders including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.), who on Tuesday said Mr. Trump deserved blame for provoking the deadly Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol. Polls show Mr. Trump retains strong support among rank-and-file GOP voters.

It's unclear how serious Mr. Trump is about starting a new party, which would require a significant investment of time and resources. The president has a large base of supporters, some of whom were not deeply involved in Republican politics prior to Mr. Trump's 2016 campaign.

Third parties have typically failed to draw enough support to play a major role in national elections. Any effort to start a new party would likely face intense opposition from Republican party officials, who would chafe at the thought of Mr. Trump peeling off support from GOP candidates.

The White House declined to comment.

Comment: Perhaps this idea will give the Repubs a kick in the pants to get their act together. Disloyalties of the past few weeks have all but erased four years of struggle and effort. Many may 'not elect' to go there again - their essence reflecting the times rather than principles.

Trump didn't pardon Assange so any political party he starts will be the "same ol same ol" Military Industrial, Congressional, Security, Central Bank tyranny. Trump is the creature from the lagoon. Because he really loves the swamp.

bbrebozo He really showed his true colors with this ignorance. He's quite the disgrace. He's nothing but a carnival barker at a political circus at best. At worst, he might be a sort of pied piper leading us all into the river.

Our new dictator, now that he's successfully staged an armed coup, overthrown our democracy in broad daylight, on TV, with his politically filtered and obedient military, while half of America applauds, has been directing his minions to treat Trump supporters as domestic terrorists, and a national security threat. So I guess there must be a list. It looks like there is to me, and I expect them to continue to go through it, but much more efficiently, very little resistance, to whatever degree they wish, and at their leisure.

Humanity will become catastrophically disgusting in a very short time, I think. This is a miserable time to be alive, IMO. There is nowhere to run. Society appears to have very little appetite for a cure, but an insatiable lust for the disease, and it's everywhere. There is no way this will get better. None, and I just hate it.

Pick Tulsi for VP and you might peel some support from the Dems as well.

Party color should be purple, obviously.

Tucker for press secretary, right? Rand Paul in there somewhere.

Could call it the "Shred of Integrity" party...

Rowan Cocoan · 2021-01-20T22:19:12Z

Smart play; I question whether I'd be able to support him there - I thought it was wise for Trump to run as a R because with the background mass of the R's, he might and actually did get elected over Killary.

What wars is Bribem gonna get us in? Lord? Um, help?

Trump has discussed starting a new political party

Presumably a party where he can worship Israel without limitation.

Joyly · 2021-01-21T01:30:34Z

During Trump’s term both parties have shown there lack of concern for the American people over concern for lining their own pockets. There does need to be a third party and it would be a party for Patriots.

To those who condemn Trump: he is one man and brilliantly showed America and the whole world the level of corruption existing in every sector; would you condemn him for being able to resolve such corruption almost single handedly.

Yes he had a few good men, but not enough it seems. That is what the evidence shows. I admit I do not understand his apparent allegiance to Israel, which is misguided at best.

Everyone plays their role and God does the rest.

Joyly shovel yes. To clean up our own yards

LindaMay Again true.

Christian Witchburn · 2021-01-21T15:11:44Z

Joyly

Ya, but he didn't. I thought that too at first.

What he did was point out to the rest of the world that there is a dangerous and large minority that doesn't agree with them concerning globalism (us), and now they have all identified us, hate us, want us dead, and they are indeed coming for us. They have nearly destroyed our culture on his watch (burned down villages, tore up monuments, etc), while he did what exactly?

Frankly, I think the event at the Capitol was supposed to be much worse. I think he led us there to stir up crap and there were instigators there in case we didn't feel motivated. I think that event was not nearly as bad as they had hoped it would be in order to justify what they are going to do next. Which is to round us all up while Trump points out the hot spots for them. That's what my Tin-foil hat is telling me. He's a carnival barker and game show host.

Judge them by their fruits.

Christian Witchburn · 2021-01-21T15:38:38Z

Joyly If we stand around and watch, the oppression and misery we are about to experience is justice begging for mercy. We are getting what is coming. It will be hard no matter what...for a lot of us. Some of us have hedges, but I'm not convinced this devil can't jump fences like that. I think it will eat the rich too.

Way too many people still think this is a talking (voting/legal) matter, so I don't expect it to get better any time soon. The longer we wait the worse it will be to fix, I think. Patriots will get dumber and fewer as time passes, and soon they won't be able to defend themselves any better than a poop throwing monkey.

I'm not even interested in the news any more. Unless it's about a rally of armed patriots gathering, it's irrelevant. I know how this is going to go. They aren't keeping anything a secret anymore. The beast has been loosed. They are very open about their intentions, and they are horrific but widely applauded.

Rowan Cocoan · 2021-01-21T15:41:42Z

Christian Witchburn At the same moment you were posting that, I was posting this:

I'm bummed and need to get more functional and get the hell out of the USA; I think that they're going to prevent any change from the dim uniparty by (via illegal - all they do is illegal) 'citizenizing' the hordes about to cross our border and those already here and they're going to claim to be surprised when 10% of Central America walks on up. Sad & scary are competing there.

Christian Witchburn · 2021-01-21T15:50:20Z

Rowan Cocoan There is one body, but it has many parts.

Joyly · 2021-01-21T20:54:50Z

Christian Witchburn I agree with your assessment that yes they wanted the Capitol incident to be much worse (lots of bodies and fire) and they immediately turned the narrative into Trump supporters are domestic terrorists; but I do not agree that Trump is the cause - the cause is the Demorats and their hatred for the people, and they have shifted their hatred for Trump onto those who voted for him.

Any problem can not be fixed until it is exposed; and now it is. Like you I am very concerned for my American friends with what is coming.

He could call his new party Likud-US, or LikUSd or something along those lines.

Fitting

Christian Witchburn · 2021-01-21T16:05:10Z

I was never a fan of Trump personally. I think his kids are awful too, except maybe Baron. I'm not interested in a Trump party. The reason I liked Trump was because he sounded like an American. I liked what he said. I waited and hoped for him to come into season and bear fruit, but he never did. I don't need or want another party to be American for me. I want the other existing parties to embrace Americanism, democracy, and personal freedom at large... or the dissenting members can go to jail or hell for the crimes and sin they've openly and joyously committed in front of us all. I don't care which.

Trump was outstanding because he sounded like an American. That's what people are missing, I think. They think Trump invented it? No, he's just the only one who dared to sound like an American. Of course that's going to be attractive to patriots. He said all the right things... did none of them.

Julian Assange?

Kyle Rittenhouse?

Hell, they even beat up Rand Paul and broke his ribs.

Trump is a phony. He's a lure. That's what I think. A big fat orange fishing lure.

Rowan Cocoan · 2021-01-21T16:08:51Z

Christian Witchburn What we need is secession. See AA/DS generally. [Link]

Christian Witchburn · 2021-01-21T16:38:53Z

Rowan Cocoan Indeed. What we needed is for the President to have signed the Insurrection Act, as was the rumor. That is exactly what needed to happen, IMO.

Secession is the only other reasonable solution, I think, and it is extremely reasonable, but it'll never happen.

This version of federal government needs to either stick to the Constitution, or piss off. That would be great. We need them like a hole in the bucket, because that's all they are. A burden worth less than the paper they are fabricated from. I'm a printer, so I can assure you as an expert, this is true. But, clearly they've made a decision to cross a threshold that no culture's prophet predicts well of. None. Not even secular tradition preaches keenly a fable so arrogant as "Man Who Makes Himself God." Everybody should be well versed in the reasons why this future will suck...and yet?

Obviously, the world is presently under one crown. The Corona Virus, they call it. I think that's creepy as hell, but it's a perfect fit. So anyway, who is it? Is it a corporation? A secret laboratory in Dick Cheny's underground complex? It's a single mind for damn sure, but how do I find it so I can strangle it in it's sleep?

If we separated our ways and formed a more perfect union, can you imagine the sanctions and aggression that would be leveled against us from our "allies" overseas? It's not just America that sucks. It's the NWO. It sucks.

We have yet to write the script for how it doesn't suck. Presently all the available scripts I've read have a miserable outcome...except "Star Trek: Adventures of The Communist Cowboys in Outer Space," and I made that up a little.

LindaMay · 2021-01-21T16:57:18Z

Christian Witchburn sounding like an american is not a compliment if you ask me - but i think you mean he didnt sound intellectual, more like anyone on the street really, which i agree with. He coulda... but all jaws n no balls ... actually it was a given, given his plastic fam n funds. How can one grow an orchard from a rotted granny🍏 !!

His plastics have gone plumper though in the past 6 months although his 6am🕶 lifted-up lift-off 🚀 slovac- god-blessin' wifey-broadhas skipped some meals in zee last veeks... pressure is ON.

ANYWAYS.. vwho gives a shit?!! QUÉ speeches too 🙈🍩🌭🍟🥜 FIT for monkeys, and the entire planet is pissin' their panties!!

No social distancing n masks at lift off yesterday morn but his goons... same goes for meriland touchdown in FLA.

🙈

What a stinking mess🙈

Same Ol' same ol'🙈

Christian Witchburn · 2021-01-21T17:19:07Z

LindaMay What I meant was, his priorities sounded correct. Freedom. Personal Freedom...and Hillary Clinton should be in jail, and that DC was full of corruption and evil. The Constitution should be the Law of the Land, not a gavel for beating peasants. We have rights as humans and as American citizens. That's what I mean by "sounding like an American." Somebody who reflects the principals outlined by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. I could give a damn about the phraseology, but I liked the way Kennedy said it too, and I like the way Rand Paul puts it as well. They all sound like Americans to me, but ya, they don't all put it the same elegant way. Obviously they don't all act like it. One of my examples was assassinated for sounding like an American too clearly, one was beaten and attacked on multiple occasions for it, and finally the orange one appears to be counterfeit.

So, I get it that not everybody thinks it's nice to sound like an American. I'm not surprised that many have no idea what that even sounds like anymore.

LindaMay · 2021-01-21T17:42:22Z

Christian Witchburn yes that is what i heard and i agree.

In the past many who walked the talk got, as you know personally, killed for it. So we've been drowned out by all these (jaw-ers!) Yakkers.

balboa schwartz · 2021-01-21T19:31:09Z

LindaMay and C.W., R.C. HFL, and so many more...remember Operation Northwoods?.....the word out there is that a version- 2021 was threatened, and that was the Deep State's ace in the hole to prevent any Insurrection Act or martial law that would stop the fraud in its tracks.....no confirmation that is openly provable, but it makes sense, considering 9/11, Pearl Harbor, etc.

Christian Witchburn · 2021-01-21T20:30:11Z

balboa schwartz I learned about that only after 9/11. It was what basically ended my quest for understanding the 9/11 incident. After I read about that I didn't need to see anymore evidence. It was clear my government was as despicable as any on earth.

balboa schwartz · 2021-01-21T20:34:32Z

Christian Witchburn yup, couldn't agree more....real history, not the mythology spoon-fed to the gullible, is heart-breaking

Maybe part of the urgency behind getting some wars going again is so they can explain away the arrival of one or more of these bad boys as 'errant...
