Trump establishes 'Office of the Former President' in Florida | TheHill

Former President Trump on Monday established an official post-presidency office in Palm Beach County, Fla., setting up a vehicle for future public appearances and statements.

"The Office of the Former President" will manage Trump's correspondence, public statements, appearance and official activities, according to a press release from the office.

"President Trump will always and forever be a champion for the American People," the release said.

The title of the office could fuel speculation that Trump may not run for president again in 2024, something he and his advisers have not definitively weighed in on.

Trump has been publicly silent since leaving the White House last week for his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach. He has been banned from Twitter and suspended from other major social media platforms in the wake of the Capitol riot on Jan. 6.

It's time to stand up against the muzzling of America (nypost.com)

This turd is trying to make his participation in riots a matter of "social media currency" and "representing my constituents"

If you don't remember, he is the guy who greeted the treasonous rioters coming to the Capitol. This just shows nazis are still lurking and working - in clear view.

Paul1977:
I don't think even Trump thinks a 3rd party would ever have a chance in America's 2 party system.

He's a narcissist, he's not worried about him not having a chance, he's worried about the other two parties not having a chance.

I hope this clown gets voted out the next election he stands in, then he can join the clan of Republican losers, like his narcissistic former boss who he obviously adores.

I think the headline says it all: "Trump adds another South Carolina lawyer to impeachment defense team amid questions of whether he will pay them"

"Lindsey Graham, the state's senior Republican senator, who recommended Bowers to Trump."

In the list of "people who made the world worse by their existence" is Mitch McConnell (former Senate Majority Leader, now Senate Minority Leader) and Lindsey Graham.

Republican's are offering an alternative to Trump's impeachment. They'll keep Trump in their thoughts and prayers...

New York Times: Most Republicans vote against trying Trump, signaling he is likely to be acquitted of the impeachment charge.

A majority of Republicans rallied on Tuesday against trying former President Donald J. Trump for “incitement of insurrection,” with only five members of his party joining Democrats in voting to go forward with the impeachment trial for his role stirring up a mob that attacked the Capitol.

The 55 to 45 vote cleared the way for Mr. Trump’s second impeachment trial, by narrowly killing a Republican effort to dismiss the charge as unconstitutional. But it strongly suggested that the Senate did not have the votes to convict the former president. The opposition of all but a handful of Republicans underscored Mr. Trump’s continued strength in the party even after his brazen campaign to overturn his election defeat, fueled by false claims of voting fraud, and the deadly assault by his followers after he urged them to go to Congress to fight the result.

Senators could yet change their views. But for now, the vote signaled the likelihood that Mr. Trump would for the second time in a year be acquitted by the Senate in an impeachment trial, spared by loyal Republicans who were reluctant to break with him. It would take two thirds of senators — 67 votes — to attain a conviction, meaning 17 Republicans would have to cross party lines to side with Democrats in finding him guilty.

Senator Mitch McConnell, Republican of Kentucky and the minority leader, is said to believe Mr. Trump committed impeachable offenses surrounding the deadly Capitol siege, had asserted that the former president “provoked” the mob, and had said he was undecided on the charge. Yet he voted with the vast majority of the party to uphold the constitutional challenge, which would have effectively terminated the trial if it had prevailed. His entire leadership team joined him.

Senator Rand Paul, Republican of Kentucky, forced the vote after arguing that it was unconstitutional to hold an impeachment trial of a former president, an assertion widely disputed by scholars and even the Senate itself in the past....

The Washington Post - Nearly all GOP senators vote against impeachment trial for Trump, signaling likely acquittal

breaking

All but five Republican senators backed former president Donald Trump on Tuesday in a key test vote ahead of his impeachment trial, signaling that the proceedings are likely to end with Trump’s acquittal on the charge that he incited the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

The vote demonstrated the continued sway Trump holds over GOP officeholders, even after his exit from the White House under a historic cloud caused by his refusal to concede the November election and his unprecedented efforts to challenge the result. ...

The final vote was 55 to 45 to kill Paul’s objection, with GOP Sens. Susan Collins (Maine), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Mitt Romney (Utah), Ben Sasse (Neb.) and Patrick J. Toomey (Pa.) joining all 50 Democrats.

The largely partisan vote indicated that, nearly three weeks after the Capitol attack, much of the GOP anger over Trump’s actions immediately before and during the siege has faded. ...

Meaning that it's OK for any future president to try and overthrow a duly elected government if they lose the election. If it works, they get to be dictator of the US. If not, no harm done, and have a good retirement.
