Presuming that Donald Trump avoids the humiliation of contending for the Republican 2024 nomination, and losing to DeSantis… what other options does Trump have?

We know that he wants to be in the limelight, and we know he likes winning, even if it is only himself who thinks it.

Meanwhile NewsMax is being sued (rightfully so) by Dominion Voting Machines.

• NewsMax settles out of court for a hefty sum, and goes bankrupt. Why? Well, they are worth more without the negative publicity of a court case, and they’ll all get rich from it somehow.
• Trump buys NewsMax and acts as if he is America’s leader with a regular time slot
• TruthSocial gains traction after people leave Twitter. It is the same as Mastodon, but “American”
• He uses NewsMax and TruthSocial to cross-promote each other
• Trump keeps on endorsing politicians, keeps using MAGA.
• A new conspiracy theory will turn up – we are overdue – and America’s right will become more splintered than ever
• DeSantis wins in 2024, because either a) Biden lingers and is way too old, b) Harris runs and is not likeable (and not male and not white), c) the infighting over who else runs causes damage and they end up with someone sub-standard
• However, enough MAGA candidates are elected to hold a balance of power, and Trump pulls their strings
• Dirt on DeSantis comes out (Trump says he has some), and there is a push to replace him with Trump

Trump will buy NewsMax, finally, and aim to rule the US in his own way, pulling strings and taking credit. And not run for POTUS again. He will stay smugly content until his final days, with his new young wife.
