Relax, A Trump Comeback In 2024 Is Not Going To Happen

We’ve seen this president’s type before. They always fade away.

Donald Trump lost the presidency, but his opponents so far have not achieved the victory they want most: A fatal puncturing of the Trump movement, a repudiation so complete that it severs his astonishing grip on supporters and leaves him with no choice but to slink offstage and into the blurry past.

For now, Trump dominates conversations about both present and future. His outlandish claims that he won the election except for comprehensive fraud have helped raise more than $200 million since Election Day. Many of his partisans share his dream of recapturing the presidency in 2024. For those who despise him, to paraphrase a famous Democratic speech, it seems clear the work goes on, the cause endures, the fear still lives, and the nightmare shall never die.

Except it will die - most likely with more speed and force than looks possible today.

There are three primary reasons to be deeply skeptical that Trump’s moment of dominating his party and public consciousness will continue long after Jan. 20.

As you can see the author thinks Trump will fade away as quickly as he gained prominence.

Ross Perot and George Wallace didn't have an Ivanka Trump or Jared Kushner to hand off to. Both of them have been shamelessly groomed for bigger things.

The American Oligarchs and their enablers are taking notes right now, studying Trump's mistakes so they can avoid them with their next puppet.

that we face and the real damage that Trump did to the nation.

Trump the cult personality will fade away. But trumpism will last as mccarthyism did. And enemies are taking notes on how to overcome the mistakes that Trump made.
