    Trump 'wants to ditch the Republicans and start his own Patriot Party' after telling supporters his movement is 'just beginning' and GOP leaders including Mitch McConnell blamed him for the Capitol riot
    • The outgoing president is said to have spoken with aides about the idea, The Wall Street Journal first reported
    • It is not known how serious he is in going ahead with the party, which would take a lot of time and money
    • Trump on Tuesday vowed to be a continued presence in D.C., noting his 'movement' is 'only just beginning'
    • But his vow to stay a force in politics could cause some Republicans to squirm; Trump divided Republicans among those who supported his isolationist agenda and those who disliked his harsh rhetoric
    • Many Republicans want to see him fade quietly away but others fear his supporters - 74 million cast their ballot for Trump in November - could be an influence in the party's primaries for years to come
    • Mitch McConnell said Tuesday Trump 'provoked' the crowd who stormed the Capitol two weeks ago

    The guy who could not manage distribution of vaccines with the power of the us government behind him will manage an entire party without the rnc doing the dirty work? He couldn't manage to sell steaks on his own. Please.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    As long as he gets his "party members" to stop voting Republican, he'll have done the nation a great service, whether or not he can focus them into an organized party (he can't).

    Reading your posts we don't agree on much but you're spot on here. If anyone thinks this is anything other than a straight cash grab and desperate clinging to relevance, then they haven't been paying attention to this guy at all. He's the most perfect definition of narcissist this country has seen in quite some time!

    actually, I think this is a shot across the bow of Senate R's basically saying that if they convict him in the impeachment trial, he'll cause havoc & chaos for the R's

    it might work as a tactic. On the other hand, it might be enough to convince the R's that the only thing that can save them from trump is a conviction in the Senate, then a vote to bar him from ever holding federal office again

    best case scenario is a conviction, barred from holding federal office, and trump still forms a party and runs Don Jr. for Prez and Ivanka for Senate in Florida. Bleed off the nutjob R's...and there are a lot of them
