Used to be coming out of the 80's was general this boomer networking thing, a sort of revision of Dale Carnegie's
"how to win friends and influence people". Then it quickly morphed into Tony Robbins' version of "to get rich is glorious" and suddenly there were a gazillion "inspirational speakers" to the point in the early 90's where SNL's Chris Foley developed a character who was one but a loser version who lived "in a van down by the river" and instead preached a cautionary tale of ending up like him.

I thought of all this when I saw this oldie but goodie video of Trump

Donald Trump also said the USFL was “going to be around for a long time” and he was “going to win” his antitrust case. Trump lost (ok, he got $3 in damages) and the league folded. #TrumpKeepsLosing https://t.co/8oKNMcEy8H pic.twitter.com/GdM1us2PR4

He kept doing the "believe it hard enough and it can be true" thing and losing, over and over and over and over...that's the grift, the whole thing, finding people who would maintain the delusion. TRULY is a loser.

Tennis pavilions? Totally dope.

And she can go on shows saying stuff like "F*$# the kids!" It'll be like a modern Rodney Dangerfield, where she drowns puppies or kicks midgets, and then she announces as the crowd recites with her: "I don't really care, do you?"

*That's* Entertainment.

Melania is actually a more interesting case than the Donald. Barron will be 15. Clubbing will no doubt come back after coronavirus, but I doubt 50-something women will be that welcome. Nobody is going to want her line of designed or endorsed whatever?

With the Palm Beach neighbors not digging the whole Mar O Lago homestead idea, it is time for Trump to consider the RV market.

He and Melania could travel from one strange rally after another in a Winnebago.

In reply to an alternate vision

Made me really think about it all from a new angle: how many supposed Trump fans would like the actual Donald Trump as a house guest? He's a symbol for them. If he doesn't keep that symbol up, he's toast. Cause he really is a sad, very sick person who gives a shit about other human beings.

he could also do something

he could also do something like promote a sort of replacement for Comic Con, as it's grown rather tiresome after so many years:

these guys probably met up at Hooters and went thru a catalog of kilts deciding which one to wear to the march. I bet one refused saying they were 'fucking gay' until their waitress assured him it looked sexy and he relented, then after they all left she and her coworkers laughed pic.twitter.com/hA3poqx9d6

need I remind that "trending" = "ratings!" You don't have to like it for it to hook you.

Here's a guy describing in detail in a long twitter thread some very Fellini-esque happenings today, inspired by Trump populism, but it's clear they no longer need Trump except as a symbol:

There's some large guy onstage at the DC rally named "Shofar So Great" (https://t.co/rB4DIPCf1r) claiming to be an Orthodox Jew who says his rabbi in Israel gave him permission to break Shabbat to support Donald Trump and blow the shofar at the Jericho March.

edit to add: isn't just about "Shofar the Great" but also characters like a shamanic Catholic priest, Fr. Bramlage, claiming to be exorcist, the My Pillow guy, Michael Flynn...renegade Archbishop Vigano addresses crowd by video! These charlatans are like Trump in that they all know how to hook a crowd. Just like Aimee Semple McPherson to Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker, it's all as American as apple pie.
