Donald Who?
Okay, he ain’t dead but he is flopping around on the floor.
It seems that Trump’s friends talked him out of a press conference tomorrow.
Among other things, several advisors – formal and informal – told him the press conference was a mistake and/but it was becoming clear he wasn't likely to get the live TV coverage he was hoping for.

Awwwww, too bad so sad he can’t draw a crowd anymore.
I think there’s more involved. I think his minions know he’s nuts. New text messages uncovered: This was written on January 10th by Sean Hannity.
“Guys, we have a clear path to land the plane in 9 days,” Hannity wrote to then-Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio). “He can’t mention the election again. He can’t mention the election again. Ever. I did not have a good call with him today. And worse, I’m not sure what is left to do or say, and I don’t like not knowing if it’s truly understood. Ideas?”
Land the plane? On January 19? Maybe, just maybe, he meant the inauguration and getting Trump out of town because not having “a good call” with a crazy man who you’re not sure understands you can’t be a nice place to be.
And, Darlin’, when you’re asking Mark Meadows and Jim Jordan for help with a psychotic, you just bought a ticket to a goat rodeo.
Has the Soviet era term “useful idiot” ever been more literally true?
1Let’s not be too hasty giving TFG a send-off. Or not. Unwitting tool that he is, “if only” he could do as much damage to the QOP as he did to the country to benefit Putin.
Hmmmmmmm. A tRump rally. Attending? That would be a bigly NYET. Back in the day when Cheney descended on Reno, NV we did not attend. Whereas we drove the distance to Lake Tahoe when President Obama spoke there. Amazing crowd and an amazing time. One had to park nearly 2 miles from the site to find a spot, then walk. It was a very hot summer day yet everyone was cheerful and definitely excited to hear President Obama. We also drove to Las Vegas during one of the covid spikes to meet with VP Harris, then quarantined for 2 weeks to be safe. We do not regret the time as she is extraordinarily gracious with an incredible ability to grasp a subject with little to no prior preparation.
2How much is the Old Pretender charging for his AZ zombies to listen? Probably more profitable for him than a press conference. As for Hannity et al, I really want to see a presser after they testify at the 1/6 committee. Ann Telnes had a great editorial cartoon yesterday in he WaPo about it.
3Well, if he can’t get live TV coverage, he can always Twitter.
4One presumes he still has a lawyer at this point, but any one that had TFG’s interests in mind would be screaming “DON’T!” and looking for the thorazine syringes. Little Two-Scoops can’t help incriminating himself even on good days, and since he thinks the posse is closing in, he’s gonna be in fine, full-on-paranoid-crazy-kill-them-all form.
5“Okay, he ain’t dead but he is flopping around on the floor.”
Even from that position they’ll let him play golf and mark his own score. So that will never get any worse. Winning!
6So, it was cancelled because he would not be in the spotlight – but President Biden and Vice President Harris will be .
