The dinning room may be closed but someone will always be there to prepare meals for the master, ketchup included, or to fetch Big Mac's and milkshakes on demand. I wonder if Mar-a-Lago has a Diet Coke button?tek wrote: ↑Sat Mar 20, 2021 7:05 amAwww the dining room is closed!

How he must miss AF1. So sad.
Re: trump (the former guy)
He felt really important for the last four years.
It's not just that he can't keep the legal stuff at bay any more, but that only within the grounds of his properties can he feel safe from the jeers of the people who loathe him. Yes, he has SS protection, but it's not the grand procession he once reveled in.
Now if he wants to fly around in a big plane, he has to pay for it.

Re: trump (the former guy)
Trump's inability to access Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook has been a serious blow to his self esteem and self perception.
Trump is a master at self promotion. He's been a very important person (in his eyes) for decades. Media covered his every action. He had a microphone on primetime TV. It's been decades since he had to jump up and down for attention.
Trump's lack of access to social media has been devastating for Trump. Now he's limited to announcements through a spokesperson ... announcements that are made fun of and limited in their distribution.
I never expected Trump to fall from such heights so quickly and intensely. The schadenfreude has been delicious.
Trump makes the news now for only legal stuff that he can't afford to fight. There are no adoring fans. And he knows he will never reach such heights again. And without social media, he can't have a public tantrum. And he delighted in his public tantrums.

Re: trump (the former guy)
Agree LM K. DL2XIT has been off Twitter for 72 days now and it's been glorious. What a pleasure to not care what he's doing or concerned about what he screwed up this time. And many of his minions have quit or stopped using Twitter too. Bill Mitchell was banned 221 days ago and he's still whining on Telegram about it (he says he was so happy not to be on Twitter but wants to sue them to get back on). Even O Taitz hasn't dropped a poopie in 11 days. It's much nicer.

Re: trump (the former guy)
Yes, but some GOP hopefuls still beat a path to Mar a Lago to get his blessing.
He could probably quash the ambitions of any GOPer that he bothered to publicly and repeatedly oppose.
He's not (yet?) indicted.
He still (for the time being?) has access to lots of cash and at least a presidential pension.
To adapt a line from "The Lion in Winter"- it is not such a bad thing to be an ex US POTUS, not all eyes will weep for him.
And all than makes me .

Very wealthy people are weird. Raising money for a 'rescue dogs' charity is all fine and good ... but a 'runway show'? wt heck is that about? How about just asking for the donations, not doing creepy ass stuff? -- that's how it works in real people world.
Re: trump (the former guy)
That "Charity" funnels a lot of money to Trump via Mar-A-Logo.

Re: trump (the former guy)
The Guardian: Trump will use 'his own platform’ to return to social media after Twitter ban
Donald Trump will soon use “his own platform” to return to social media, an adviser said on Sunday, months after the former president was banned from Twitter for inciting the US Capitol riot.
Trump has chafed in relative silence at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida since losing his Twitter account and the protections and powers of office. Recently he has released short and combative statements which many observers have likened to his tweets of old.
Speculation has also been rife that Trump might seek to create his own TV network in an attempt to prise viewers from Fox News, which was first to call the crucial state of Arizona for Joe Biden on election night, to Trump’s considerable anger.
But on Sunday adviser Jason Miller told Fox News social media was the immediate target.
Trump will be “returning to social media in two or three months”, Miller told Media Buzz host Howard Kurtz, with “his own platform” that will “completely redefine the game” and attract “tens of millions” of users.

Re: trump (the former guy)
If Trump were to call in to Fox and Friends or Sean Hannity, would they decline his call, or refuse to put him on the air? I think not. Therefore, his lack of visibility on Fox must be self-imposed, at least to some extent.Gregg wrote: ↑Sun Mar 21, 2021 1:02 pmAdded to his no social media, he can't even go back to the garbage he did before he discovered Twitter.

Re: trump (the former guy)
So, a new social media platform. It would be so nice if DFO is being fed a load of nonsense and getting ripped-off, but that won’t happen because he knows more about social media than anyone else. Alternatively, I hope the “developers” get paid upfront, and look forward to the quite likely patent infringement lawsuits and DFO’s attempts to get his money back.
