Why?
It would be a catastrophe for Trump to run 3rd party. A guaranteed victory for the left.
I have said it many times. IF “we” (conservatives/populists) cannot control our own political party and defeat the Karl Roves, Paul Ryans, and Romneys we have no hope of winning the much bigger and more difficult battles.
I think many (with good intentions) somehow believe that we will win a victory via 3rd party. It won’t happen. The whole world is against us and we do not even control the RNC.
The left already has a guaranteed victory in the 2024 "elections". They have convincingly demonstrated in the last two national elections that they control a margin of fraud that assures their candidates will always win any race they consider important.
"How people vote does not matter. Who counts the votes is what matters".
We have done nothing to change the system that produces guaranteed Democrat victories. It is now just a game show to distract people and slow opposition. Our political authorities are chosen by that "loose affiliation of millionaires and billionaires" described by the songwriter. The process is totally opaque to the common citizens.
Moreover, we cannot control "our own" political party and defeat the Karl Roves, Paul Ryans, and Romneys. McConnell and McCarthy are still in their positions of authority. Nothing can change unless and until all these people are gone. We have no effective means to do that in the current system. Old age is the only sure prospect we have for their departures.
The problem is that our assigned rulers hate us and want us enslaved or dead. We are past the point where that problem will be solved by elections.
Yes, I will vote for Trump, whether he runs as a Republican or as third-party candidate. It is a sentimental thing. I am not expecting much in the way of good results.
I plan to stay out of the way as things get "interesting".

There is an old saying: Do not do what your enemy wants you to do.
The left would LOVE for Trump to run 3rd party.
