But maybe, just maybe, not surrendering or giving up doesn't mean Trump keeps the presidency.

As designed by the constitution, the President has very little direct power. And he does have to work with all the other branches whether we like it or not. Trump did what he could, and he did a lot.

I see several realistic avenues for Trump here. He can put a ton of money into alternative media and alternative social media. He can go into Parler. He can start up new business ventures for financial transactions and sales. He can, as suggested before, start a media empire. He certainly has the cash for it. And it would probably do far more good in the long run.

I've always said that conservatives need to start creating media other than books and video games. Yes, I know they are inexpensive to make for someone without piles of money coming their way. But we need more ways to capture the world's imagination. We need our own movies and TV. (Something other than news and talk shows, please.) There is an immense untapped market of people who just want to watch stuff that isn't being preachy.
