THEORY;
Trump is endorsing all his Senate, House and state officials as we speak. If he were to return, it would be just after the mid-terms. I'd say January 21, 2023 would be a really good guess. Giving him 2 yrs of fake president Biden's remaining term and then as the likely MAGA candidate, a full second term in 2025.
We know there will be a red wave come mid-terms, given the Trump endorsement-to-win primaries (93%!!) That sets the 6 year stage for Legislative, Executive and Judicial branch MAGA.
Now, here is a MAGA hypothetical.
If MAGA supporters win back the majority in the House, they could vote Trump in as Speaker of the House. Law says; An average citizen can be voted in by it's members as Speaker!
Trump could then bring articles of impeachment against Biden & Harris. He could also do the same for corrupt House and Senate members, as well as SCOTUS and other agency corrupt personnel and department heads.
Can anyone imagine the multiple articles of impeachment to finally DRAIN THE SWAMP? Liberal leaning C-SPAN that televises these hearings would have a major case of the hives! Haha!
You know what? You just cleared it up for me.
I called the WH days after the Biden inauguration, and I knew for myself that the WH wasn't operating like normal, but I couldn't fathom why Biden's EOs could still take legal effect if Trump retained his presidency.
Then I read the devolution series, and after the eighth installment, I found it lacking. I also read Slags' series and found them lacking as well, but I couldn't pinpoint what I thought was not making sense.
Your one line explanation sums it up the best for me: most likely Trump relinquished the civilian presidency but held onto the military commander-in-chief post. He is the failsafe in a quasi-controlled demolition.
That doesn't mean we won't have to fight the war. The outcome of the war still depends on our efforts, but he is there to prevent the worst outcome (nuke war) from taking place.
