Is he holed up with Elon and Stephen Miller making plans?
I think it is a little odd that he is not in the news ....I am enjoying the break.

You're not the only one puzzled by this. People were wondering about this yesterday on Twitter. Maybe he is truly tired after the campaign.

He’s pretty old. I’m sure he’s super worn out by the campaign.

Judging by how he looked in the last days and weeks of the campaign, I imagine he's sleeping. Or counting his money and devising plans to enrich himself while in office. Wonder if he'll continue selling crypto, sneakers, Bibles etc?

I think A. He's tired, old, not well B. Reality is starting to sink in. The prison threat goes away, but now he has responsibilities that aren't golf. There are briefings, there are phone calls, there is Gaza & Ukraine C. The internal struggle of who is really in charge have started. The Musk / Thiel billionaires who expect him to let them orchestrate the creation of the US oligarchy vs. the culture crusaders who want to set the clocks back.
Just as we are not as naïve as we were in 2016, neither is he. It was obvious, IMO, he was using Ivanka and Jared as a crutch and we don't know what role they will be willing to play this time. It sounds like they still want to be more hands off, and Tiffany's husband seems like he's going to be the one involved more with trying to make sure Donald doesn't look like an idiot. Anyway, family dynamics are different too.

I dunno. People are saying something is off, they are looking at their ballot status and not finding it correct. Someone said they probably took his phone so he wouldn't spill the beans on his and Mike's "secret." I wonder if something is brewing....

Because he’s too old and fat to move at anything more than a snail’s pace.

I agree with all this. He doesn’t want the work, he wants power and for the rich kids to finally let him in the clubhouse.
I cannot even believe I’m saying this, but when he gets shoved aside and Vance is in front, at least we won’t have to listen to him ramble out his orange pie hole every day. I loathe him and Vance is just as stupid and evil, but at least he can string sentences together.
And on that note, I don’t think Vance can summon the blind devotion that TFG gets. I know they’re both just puppets but it’s a little comforting that MAGA will take a hit.

It is really hard to believe he hasn’t been seen and isn’t posting tweets. It is very strange. Happy to not hear from him but at the same time gives you a sense of dread as to what they are plotting.

And here is Laura Loomer and Tucker Carlson... Not happy with McConnell holding a private meeting to pull a coup against TFG... x.com/LauraLoomer/status/1855351541437264109Show more: Told ya. I said Republicans would lose their mind when they realized what McConnell did in violation of Senate GOP bylaws by scheduling the vote for November 13. Why didn’t anyone have the balls to talk about this a month ago like I did? A little too late for the outrage given that we should have been addressing this BEFORE THE ELECTION to protect Donald Trump. People cried about Unity though…. This is what “Unity” gets you. A McConnell coup to undermine the entire second Trump admin. Enjoy your “Unity”. [ Response show more: Carlson What the hell is going on in the US Senate? Hours after Donald Trump wins the most conclusive mandate in 40 years, Mitch McConnell engineers a coup against his agenda by calling early leadership elections in the senate. Two of the three candidates hate Trump and what he ran on. One of them, John Cornyn, is an angry liberal whose politics are indistinguishable from Liz Cheney’s. The election is Wednesday, it’s by secret ballot, and it will determine whether or not the new administration succeeds. Rick Scott of Florida is the only candidate who agrees with Donald Trump. Call your senator and demand a public endorsement of Rick Scott. Don’t let McConnell get away with it again. |

This is what we’re reduced to. Hoping that one of McConnell’s cronies takes over the Senate. I don’t like either of them, but they would be better than Rick Scott. But, I’m not sure it matters. In the end, they all roll over for Trump and kiss the ring.

He is plotting.. And we know someone is telling him what to say, because we know he has no clue... x.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1855692242981155259Any Republican Senator seeking the coveted LEADERSHIP position in the United States Senate must agree to Recess Appointments (in the Senate!), without which we will not be able to get people confirmed in a timely manner. Sometimes the votes can take two years, or more. This is what they did four years ago, and we cannot let it happen again. We need positions filled IMMEDIATELY! Additionally, no Judges should be approved during this period of time because the Democrats are looking to ram through their Judges as the Republicans fight over Leadership. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. THANK YOU! |

His supporters are taking laps for him. He’s busy figuring out which creepy characters he wants for his Cabinet. I am curious about who they might be.

I would love the Senate to remember it’s another leg of our checks & balances, and not an entity that serves at the pleasure of the President, but I expect they won’t.

Told you he has been busy . The House is so close. The more he pulls, the better .. he is also talking Sent Rubio for State Dept.. but of course DeSantis would call an election right away, appoint.. x.com/kaitlancollins/status/1855806859707363427Special election incoming for NY-21 (~Trump+22 in 2024). Idk how long [New York Governor Kathy] Hochul can delay special elections for, but considering how narrow the GOP majority is (and the VERY outside shot Dems flip it in the special), wonder if Speaker Johnson tries killing her nomination," he added on Sunday. |

Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) by law must call a special election within 10 days of the seat’s vacancy to be held within another 70-80 days. The Republican nominee in that election will be chosen by county GOP chairs rather than by a primary. Trump has offered her the position and she has accepted, Speaker Johnson has no say in the matter. |

He is going to be every bit as bad as I-and many others-thought that he would be. With a bunch of reliable lapdogs in the Senate and the possibility of the House, he will get whatever he wants. |

Ugh, I saw online that DeVos would be happy to come back as Sec of Ed, and also tried to spin her resignation after J6 as being “out of concern for putting myself in the seat of young kids and families.” Bitch, please.  |
