Trump still a GOP titan: 'A restoration is coming'
WASHINGTON TIMES ^ | 1/31/2021 | dave boyer

Posted on 02/01/2021 8:49:18 PM PST by bitt

Former President Donald Trump is behaving like he never left office.

Out of power for more than a week, Mr. Trump has created an “Office of the Former President,” staffed with former White House aides to “advance the interests of the United States and to carry on the agenda” of his administration.

He is handing out political endorsements. He has backed Kelli Ward for a second term as chairwoman of the Arizona Republican Party (she won) and former White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders for governor of Arkansas in 2022. Still cut off from social media, Mr. Trump released the statement endorsing Mrs. Sanders through his new political action committee, Save America.

A top Trump official, former Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought, announced Tuesday the formation of two more organizations to keep driving the momentum of the Trump agenda.

“A restoration is coming. Join us,” he wrote in The Federalist.

Just as he did in office, Mr. Trump is delivering unsubtle warnings to Republican senators that he will ruin them politically if they vote for his conviction next month.

The former president also is monitoring closely which Republicans are still with him, as Sen. Kevin Cramer of North Dakota can attest.

Mr. Cramer was at home Saturday when he received what he termed a “strategic” phone call from Brian Jack, who was a White House political director under Mr. Trump. Mr. Jack told the senator that he had just spoken with Mr. Trump.

“The president wanted me to just express again his gratitude for your support over the years,” Mr. Jack said, according to the senator.

The Trump aide never mentioned the upcoming impeachment trial. Instead, he said Mr. Trump wanted to tamp down rumors that he was planning to form a breakaway third party to

Donald J. Trump, a man who pledged his life, his fortune and his honor for this country. He is the ONLY person to run for office that I've ever seen in my lifetime that has sacrificed everything for this country. He didn't have to do it, but he did. He had a belly full of the crap the politicians dished out year after year. Promising this and that while selling the United States down the drain all the while lining their own pockets. Just do some research on the man. Where he leads, I will follow. I am behind him 100%.

We cannot spare this man, he is a fighter.

“Former President Donald Trump is behaving like he never left office.”

Good. Because he is still president.

Biden is not because he did not win.

Sometimes “unsubtle” warnings are the way to go.

doncha’ want to shout it from the Heavens!!!

Never before have we seen a man so dedicated to our vountry and to the people who make it work...
No.. he didn’t have to ..but he did..
I compare him to David in the Bible..
called.. an imperfect man called to do a job because he is willing..

His heart is right...
the dart throwers.. the haters.. the left side.... they have a day coming when they will have to answer for the things they have done to President Trump...

Yes.. their waterloo is coming..
They think they have the power and the last word...
they have neither....

Jesus on the cross... the priests thought they would get rid of this man who healed and did not think like they did... he was only a carpenter’s son.. who was He to speak things the priests disagreed with..

BUT

they didn’t kill Jesus... they COULD NOT kill the Son of God.. He did not stay in the grave... He rose up... He fulfilled his Father’s call... And He lives forever more!

Trump grew up in NYC. He is well aware of election fraud. He unfortunately did nothing substantial to avert the fraud in this last election. Now, anything that is done is full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

As sick as I am of the spineless weasels of the GOP, I am glad that DJT isn’t going the 3rd party route. Not to say that pulling it off would never work or could never work. But it’d be an extreme long shot with the most likely outcome being the Democrat racking up victories against an opposition fractured between the old GOP and Trump’s new party.

You think it’s great Trump won’t start a third party. I think he’s jumped the shark and just lost his chance to truly make history. The GOPee has schitt on Trump in every way imaginable and every Trump voter with him. Having enabled and accepted the fraudulent election the GOPee has destroyed any possibility of a legitimate election ever again thereby destroying what was once the USA itself. When Trump was president and the leader of the GOPee he told us time and again to vote for every sort of GOPee scumbag, crook, and quisling traitor, all in the name of advancing his MAGA agenda, which, in the end, didn’t amount to squat, If Trump started a third party he would be like George Washington. Now he’s just another Jimmy Carter. There is no way in hell I will ever vote for a Republican ever again, even Trump himself.

Maybe he could join Bush’s rotation of guest hosts. He could even troll the Media Matters spies by playing “Hail to the Chief” right after the “My City is gone” intro.

What you said!!

To my knowledge, him being an outsider, he didn’t have backing from the establishment; he had to fight all that much harder, and he did it for love of country.

People need to see past the MSM and liberal progressive’s witch hunt.

If I were Trump I would WELCOME the “trial” in the Senate. It would give me the chance to present evidence of massive election fraud that courts refused to hear. There is plenty of it that is undeniable.

- unconstitutional changes to election laws that can only legally be done by the legislature were ordered and carried out by the judicial and executive branches in multiple states.

- the Democrats’ own handwriting expert in Arizona testified that 11% of signatures on the few thousand sample ballots that were examined did not match. This is a state Biden “won” by less than 1%.

- Ric Grenell proved in Nevada that between non residents who voted, dead people who voted, people who had moved away who voted, far more invalid ballots were counted than the margin of supposed “victory”.

- Matt Bracken and Richard Baris provided evidence of far more underage people who voted, dead people who voted, people who moved away who voted, people who listed PO boxes as their home address who voted, people with moving flags at the post office (meaning they moved out of state or at least out of precinct) who voted, etc than the margin of Biden’s supposed victory. That’s to say nothing of poll workers pulling out boxes of ballots from under the table in the middle of the night after claiming their was a water leak and poll watchers therefore needed to leave because they were done counting for the night.

- Wisconsin had a 10 fold expansion of people listed as “disabled” and who could therefore vote by mail and that’s in addition to the all the monkey business in Milwaukee which had ridiculous unbelievable turnout numbers. Just like in Georgia there was a suspicious halt of the vote count at the same time, Republican poll watchers were illegally excluded and there was a massive Biden vote dump.

- Michigan had all the same issues as Wisconsin regarding Republican poll watchers being illegally excluded, extremely suspiciously high turnout in Detroit, massive Biden vote dump in the middle of the night, all of this after a very suspicious halt of the count at exactly the same time as Wisconsin and Georgia.

- Pennsylvania multiple instances of repeatedly ignoring Justice Alito’s orders regarding segregating late arriving ballots, illegally excluding Republican poll watchers, then ignoring the first judicial order to readmit them, refusing to provide meaningful oversite by keeping poll watchers far enough back that they could not meaningfully observe, unconstitutionally allowing mail in ballots, extremely suspiciously high turnout in Philly, equally extremely suspicious halt of the vote counting at the exact same time as Michigan and Georgia and Wisconsin.

Most Americans probably don’t know all of this. The Corporate media refused to cover it. The SCOTUS refused to hear it. Go ahead. Bring on that Senate Trial....and present all of it in excruciating detail.

He’s still my President. I don’t accept the premise that he lost.

IT WAS STOLEN BY DEMOCROOK FRAUD.
