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

Just like President Reagan who turned me from Dem to Rep, Trump is still my President but both are not the President today.

We don’t have a president today. We have a committee or shadow government making the decisions.

Don’t think biden is capable.

IMHO President Trump did some good for this country but he also talked a LOT of smack, he played with fire and got torched. It’s time to move beyond him and what remain of his presidency, start seeking out people who can win, update the Republican platform and hopefully bring some balance back to this country.

Do your own analysis. Read about the executive order from Sept. 2018. And then read about PEADS.

Put it together and you’ll understand why the RAT are freaking out—and trying to impeach him again. But they won’t win. People smarter than the RATS figured this out long ago.

But don’t take my word for it. Read. Analyze and make up your own mind.

You are an idiot and/or not on the right side.

The election was stolen by Demsheviks and a few corrupt R governors, states working in coordination, using corrupt equiplment connected to China, Venezuela and Cuba, with manipulation happening in real time by foreign actors in yet other countries, as well as massive ballot forging, stealing and myriad other methods.

Trump won in a landslide.

He won.

He is not giving up and neither is any sane well meaning person who does not want this country, and the whole world, to become a hell of corruption, globalism and communism.

Confusing. Who is the sixth grade student that wrote the article?

Unfortunately you have summed up 95% of todays journalists. If it weren’t for Gramerly, they would be able to weave a cohesive thought.

“A restoration is coming”

Freepers its time to wake up and listen to what Trump is saying. He’s not talking about 2022. He’s talking about 2021. He is signalling what is about to happen very shortly.

Everyone needs to start looking at alternate news sites so that you don’t have a heart attack when President Trump steps back in.

I agree that the leftists planned the whole riot. Trump has the evidence and will present it at the Senate hearing.

No his lawyers are presenting it already as exactly as I said they would. I sure hope you are not on the Q Train cause that left a long time ago.

You said the same thing about Biden never making it to Washington and sworn in, most of the Congress being arrested, all broadcasts shortly being taken over by the EBS (which hasn't existed in 17 years), etc. All wrong. All the time.

ALL PART OF THE PLAN.

It's going EXACTLY as planned.

ALL OF IT!

Read about PEADS. The Trump card.

Yes. But he does not have them any more. Unfortunately, he's not the President any more.

It isn’t that simple. Read the executive order. Then read about PEADS. Then you will understand why the RATS are freaking out and Trump is quiet and composed.

And by the way, he said “we’re not finished yet.”

XO—45 days, 45 days, now 30 days beginning Feb 1.

Losing the election, losing the Senate, losing the objection to Arizona results, dropping the other objections, having Joe Biden's electoral college win confirmed by the joint session of congress, announcing there would be a peaceful transfer of power, the peaceful inauguration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and Trump retiring to Florida, being impeached a second time, and preparing for another trial was ALL PART OF THE PLAN.

And it is so well executed that nothing in the plan ever occurs - that’s to throw them off.
