Donald J. Trump HAS left the building…
While most of the ‘establishment’ media has turned to Joe Biden & Co. for the past few weeks…
The ‘Make America Great Again’ MAGA HAS lost it’s bull horn….
Oh, the right leaning media is still Trump’s….
But by the minute the ex-President, off of social media, is fading…..
Politico has piece on a cause searching for a new focus…
With Trump gone…
The ‘movement‘ needs a new oxygen.
The piece seems to say Trump, the New York City Real Estate guy who spent him life trying to build and make money bending the rules ?….Has transferred his credo to MAGA groups, which is NOT good for the America we know and think off….And that Joe Biden is trying to bring back stronger as fast as he can…
“The biggest thing in MAGA media right now isn’t Trump, it’s a self-created war against the amorphous triplet boogeyman named ‘Cancel Culture,’ ‘Big Tech,’ and ‘The Media,’” said Amanda Carpenter, a former spokesperson for Ted Cruz’s presidential campaign and currently a political columnist for The Bulwark, an anti-Trump conservative website. “They are the stand-in until they find the right Democrat to isolate and villainize.”
There is one obvious factor dampening MAGA anger over what the former president’s supporters view as the latest Democrat-driven witch hunt: this time around, Trump is not in danger of being removed from office, because Trump is no longer in office….
…
“Remember,” tweeted MAGA influencer Rogan O’Handley on Friday, “their hatred for Trump was actually just hatred for the proud Americans that support him.”
Indeed, the biggest impeachment story on Breitbart’s home page tabloid spread on Monday wasn’t even about Trump: It was, instead, about Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) calling for the impeachment of Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.).
Against that backdrop — unlike with Trump’s initial impeachment trial — MAGA adherents are treating the second Senate trial as something of a sideshow, one that distracts from their ultimate goals.
Rank-and-file Trump supporters, for example, have pivoted away from voter fraud and are instead zeroing in on what they claim are Biden’s innumerable hypocrisies.
The farthest and darkest reaches of the Trump coalition are likewise engaged elsewhere. Militia and conspiracy groups are more focused on their opposition to Biden, while white supremacist groups have faded into the white noise of the internet, trying to find ways to rebrand themselves. The Proud Boys have turned their energy towards protecting their brethren charged in the deadly January 6 Capitol riot — the event that led to Trump’s second impeachment….
It’s isn’t about Trump so much as it IS about Democrats and their polices….

Wall Street Journal Calls Trump’s Behavior ‘Disgraceful’
A Wall Street Journal editorial says that while the Senate may acquit former President Donald Trump over the deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol, “he won’t live down his disgraceful conduct.”
“Now his legacy will be forever stained by this violence, and by his betrayal of his supporters in refusing to tell them the truth. Whatever the result of the impeachment trial, Republicans should remember the betrayal if Mr. Trump decides to run again in 2024.”
