Why would he take part in a massively publicized speech if he needs to appear out of the equation? He literally announced he's going to be helping to get MAGA people into the republican party. He actually announced that he is staying involved. How does that accomplish "appearing to be out of the equation" more than just staying silent out of the picture like he had been?
