President Trump has talked in recent days with associates about forming a new political party, according to people familiar with the matter, an effort to exert continued influence after he leaves the White House.

Mr. Trump discussed the matter with several aides and other people close to him last week, the people said. The president said he would want to call the new party the “Patriot Party,” the people said.

Should be the Poopriot Party

They are full of poop and love to riot.

I think he'll find it harder to fundraise without the corporate money behind the RNC (or DNC for that matter). He might make more money doing Cameos for supporters. His supporters will all do a gofundme when it gets close to their birthday so all the other poor Trump supporters can chip in and then send Trump $500 for a birthday Cameo with him reading a patriotic message.

 

[THE_DEVIL]

I fully support Trump on this and hope he gets this off the ground.

RIP Republican Party. Sleep now in the fire

 

[Joes Place]

It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to
Cry if I want to
You would cry too, if it happened to you

I really wanna hear a Conor Oberst cover of this

 

[jasonrann]

I sure hope he does. Imagine him having a shitty Idea.

 

[pjhawk]

I would contribute money to get this project going except I know every last cent would go into the bank accounts of the Trumps.

 

[Fijimn]

Would be too much work. He’ll lose interest

 

[HawkeyeInCentralIowa]

The NeoNazi’s already exist.

RIP Republican Party. Sleep now in the fire

Son of a bitch might actually make America great again.

Absolutely.

 

[torbee]

100 Percent in favor.

Will make my 2015 prediction that the nomination of Trump would send the Republican Party the way of the Whigs a near certainty.

Son of a bitch might actually make America great again.

It was the longest of long cons.

Remember, he was a Democrat. 😂

That is some deeeeeeep state shit right there.

 

[FAUlty Gator]

Dear Lord please let this happen. Then Manchin and Romney get together and form another and win every election from here on out.

Wow....Hawley and Cruz and the rest would finally reap what they sow. GOP would have a large % of their base gone. Trump‘s new party would take the neo-Nazi, klansman, white supremacsits, Quanons, and other “tin foil hat“ conspiracists out of the GOP base. Split would be so bad neither a Trump, nor GOP candidate could be elected.

 

[Bank of Hawk]

Is this like the ragbrai splitting into that other bike ride ? I see the prestige of both has fallen mightily considering a ragbrai stop is in good ole sac city , I like sac but ragbrai from 2018 and before would have no business running through sac city.

 

[Chishawk1425]

Yes please.

 

[TrianglePlace]

No wonder Mitch wants to convict.

[BioHawk]

It will be good to put all the people who need to be on an FBI watch list in one place.

Begrudgingly giving this a like. It’s extremely stupid, but it’s growing on me.

Considering the GOP adopted no party platform at Trump's Convention this year, I'd love to see what issues the Patriot Party thinks they're going to advance beyond MAGA

 

[dekhawk]

This.

 

[nu2u]

Blue States
Red States
Orange States

 

[West Duval Nole]

Democratic Party should support and fund this. That would split up the Republicans just enough in tightly contested states to ensure they won the Presidential race while this is happening.

 

[tWarnerHawk]

No wonder Mitch wants to convict.

It's prolly his best defense against conviction. Basically telling McConnell "if you convict me I'm leaving and I'm taking the deplorables with me".

 

[noleclone2]

He can restart the Know Nothing Party.

 

[DFSNOLE]

😂 😂 😂 😂

 

[TrianglePlace]

This fits here

 

[SeaPA]

I could see this happening, provided:
*Someone else does all of the work to start it
*Someone else provides all of the funding to start it
*trump gets paid a significant amount of money up front, with trailing royalties, for use of his name

Again.. if that happens over under 3.5 years until the Bernie bros break off into their party because their agenda isn’t moving fast enough.

 

[OrlandNole]

This would require too much work for Trump, but might get some legs if someone else takes up the cause.

This would be a nightmare for the GOP establishment, but would likely be welcomed by true Republicans.

....is it the "true Republicans" that are the fascists and bigots?

Or the true Republicans that'll welcome rejecting that from the party?

Dem party leadership at this prospect
