Trump is so quiet it makes you wonder

For four years it was Trump Trump Trump. Trump in the morning, Trump in the afternoon, Trump in the evening and Trump as you tried to sleep. Now he has gone so quiet you wonder what he is plotting and planning. The American newspapers are saying that he is enjoying his downtime in the Florida sunshine and not getting involved in anything but it can't be true. The man wants to be back in the Big Time, you just know it. Once the impeachment trial is over and all the hullabaloo has died down he will reemerge to remind the Republican party that they are still chained to him and his Trumpism for ever. Well that's what he would like to think. Surely, as I have said before, there must be someone who is brave enough to make a stand and take the party to new pastures. But what about the 74 million devotees who voted for the Big Fella? How can anyone wrest these supporters from his clutches and herd them off into a different direction. Right now it can't be done but at some stage between now and 2024 there will have to be a Republican messiah who can entice Trump supporters to move away from him and admit there is life after Trump. That's if the Republican party wants to have a future. Otherwise they can kiss goodbye to returning to power for a decade. Trump is not their future, they must know that. Trump, if he stands in 2024, is not going to be reelected, and then the party will be in such dire straits that it might as well give up and turn Democrat. Meanwhile we have an oh-so-quiet Biden administration and a return to Obamaism. No rampaging, no White House sackings, no dramas. So far, all sweetness and light. Long may it last, provided Biden gets things done and fast. But watch out for that Florida Man. He ain't gone away yet.
