PALM BEACH, Fla. — Former president Donald Trump threw himself back into politics this weekend by publicly endorsing a devoted and divisive acolyte in Arizona who has embraced his false election conspiracy theories and entertained the creation of a new “MAGA Party.”
In a recorded phone call, he offered his “complete and total endorsement” for another term for Arizona state party chairwoman Kelli Ward, a lightning rod who has sparred with the state’s Republican governor, been condemned by the business community and overseen a recent flight in party registrations. She narrowly won reelection, by a margin of 51.5 percent to 48.5 percent, marking Trump’s first victory in a promised battle to maintain political relevance and influence after losing the 2020 election.
In recent weeks, Trump has entertained the idea of creating a third party, called the Patriot Party, and instructed his aides to prepare election challenges to lawmakers who crossed him in the final weeks in office, including Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Rep. Tom Rice (R-S.C.), according to people familiar with the plans.

No, he needs to take control of the Republican party.
Start the MAGA/Patriot party within the Republican party and push out all the Rinos and fake republicans
That would be how this could work.
“LET’S YOU AND HIM FIGHT!”
Screams the fake news from the WashPost.
Sheesh, they never do anything original...
From the WaPo? yeah right.
They can pound sand.
It’s easy to say and difficult to do.
It would be easy to get more votes than a Republican, but that really just means Democrat plurality wins until the Republican party is diminished to the level of the Libertarian Party, which could take a few decades.
It ain’t a threat if you do it.
Been there, done that, tried it for four years as POTUS -the most powerful member of the GOP.
Didn't work. Since only stupid and insane people keep trying the same things that don't work, it's time for plan B.
There is no point in reading an article published by the fake-news Washington Post.
Anybody know where Trump is? I used to get his posts on Facebook daily. I miss him.
Trump show yourself and rally us around the flag!
That’s exactly what he should do.......they’ve already got the infrastructure in place (for lack of a better word) and we like you said get rid of the dead weight and pretenders and put Patriots in to do the job these worthless idiots won’t do........
wapo stirring the pot, and many freepers are happy to be stirred.
WaPo editor confronted by young staffer after a case of the shakes, sweating, incoherent ranting and fainting spell.
“I, I think I’m getting a recurring case.”
“You mean the....?”
“Yes. Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
In the END, there can ONLY be one: GEOTUS
No Republicans, not now, not ever.

When all government ...in little as in great things... shall be drawn to Washington as the center of all power; it will render powerless the checks provided of one government on another, and will become as venal and oppressive as the government from which we separated." -- Thomas Jefferson, 1821
He was never a good fit for the GOP. But starting another party will just ensure that the Dems win.
