Just saying….
If attention is currency, former president Donald Trump is going broke.
Trump has largely lost his status as one of the nation’s top newsmakers since leaving office and being deplatformed by the major social media platforms, according to a new analysis, raising questions about whether the former president will be able to maintain his stranglehold over the public conversation — the stranglehold that propelled him to victory in 2016 — as he eyes a potential 2024 bid.
Trump’s media attention has been so lacking, in fact, that he has broken the bottom of SocialFlow’s Trump Index — a scale that measures social media engagements on stories pertaining to Trump on a 100 to zero scale, with “100” measuring peak attention. The scale is calibrated so that a 50 represents the score Trump received during an average day during his final year in office.
SocialFlow, a company that publishes content to social media platforms for more than 300 media outlets, including the New York Times and Washington Post, found that while Trump hit “100” on the scale on the day after the Capitol riot, he has notched a score of less than one on many days since leaving office.
The analysis comes as the question of how Trump will wield his influence looms heavy over U.S. politics, especially in the Republican party. While some Republicans, like Representative Liz Cheney (R., Wyo.), have pushed to leave Trump behind, others have remained more loyal to the former president….

Yes he’s definitely losing his grip on the Republican Party.
I think w have all noticed that.
Look Homer,no one s claiming that Trump has the undivided attention of the American Public at large.The claim is that Trump has effective political dominance of the Republican Party a fact that is conceded by just about every political person in the country( of which a blogger like you with six or seven viewers definitely is not one).
Amusingly,while you obsess daily on this unprovable assertion of yours that Trumps Control over the Republican Party is “ fading?”Even the anti Trump Republicans admit that he is in effective control.Indeed, even Mitt Romney says if he wants the nomination in 2024 he can have it.
You call yourself “stubborn.”
On this topic ,you’re not being stubborn.youre being stupid.

From USA Today…
“Months after Donald Trump left the Oval Office,Republicans at the state and local level are cementing their loyalty to the one-term President,assuring that Trump will remain the party’s future despite his November defeat….”
I mean if Trump “fades” anymore?No one will even recognize him soon!
