I don't know where the law stands on this but I don't think Jim Henson would be allowed to have the Muppets speak on his behalf if he was on trial and under a gag order, only difference here seems to be that the people speaking for Trump have much less integrity than Kermit, etc

This is essentially how Trumpism works for a lot of them, you can see it when he does his speeches. Politics is in there, but in some ways it's almost incidental, something to hang the hat on. Trump's strategy appeals to a form of community interaction they're very used to – Sports, Church, and Politics.

Yeah, whenever you see the rallies, the crowd inside is hyped like a rock concert. The punters queuing for these gigs all decked out in their t shirts and caps, merch vendors. It's a form of entertainment.
Until you get the lyrical content. That's something else. It veers from the greatest hits (Witch Hunt, Crooked Hilary, Crooked Joe Biden, Fake News, Radical Left, China!) to wild improv (the late great Hannibal Lecter and other jazzy moments).
It's carnival/Barnum and Bailey, medicine shows, vaudeville whatever you want to call it. All rolled into a very Trumpian event.
It's grimly fascinating.
This all very Thick of It, isn't it?

Trump floats idea of three-term presidency at NRA convention
During a bombastic speech in Dallas, GOP frontrunner asks: ‘Are we going to be considered three-term? Or two-term?’
Given that he and his supporters don't believe he lost, surely a win in November would mean he'd be on his third term?

Oh, it's often difficult to follow his "speeches". Still, he'll be keeping the NRA gun cult happy by winding back any gun reforms.

As Trump's manic fans cleave to him more and more I'm hopeful that they are literally the only ones who are and that a significant number of Republican voters are going to quietly stay home rather than vote for him because of the trial and the increasingly embarrasing incoherence, more than the 'general threat to national security and democracy' thing

It could be that some of the formerly public Trumpists may well be frightened of speaking out and vote against him when push comes to shove.
Still have a bad feeling that all this mayhem is only a prelude to the outcome in November. Whoever wins.

So he shouldn't be allowed to stand again. Ban him from standing.

Meanwhile, a look at why the gang is showing their support for the villain

This is how political thuggery is normalized. First, project the abuse you commit onto your political opponents in order to justify acting in kind. Then, when your criminal acts catch up with you, wear any ensuing criminal indictments as what Trump calls a “badge of honor” — projecting his victim hood onto his supporters. As Trump puts it: “I’m being indicted for you.”
King Trump's trial and the fight for America’s future
If Donald Trump’s allies are signaling loyalty by attending his trial, it seems reasonable to question what exactly they are demonstrating loyalty to.

Nothing yet.
Either the mods are understandably busy or considering it or reckon it's a case of wait and see.
Am usually (but not always) correct in identifying the returnees.
Anyway, am heading into derail territory, so as requested will leave it. For now.

I was wondering if anyone knows how likely Trump is to actually back 'Project 2025' - obviously the Heritage Foundation seems to be implying absolutely he's going to implement it and I think he's made vaguely appreciative noises towards it, but will he be too 'Ain't not nobody going to tell me what to do!' to run with someone else's ideas? Or will he not care as long as he can take credit?
Project 2025 is pretty terrifying and a lot of people are talking like it's a dead cert if he gets in, but do we actually know that?

Last time he didn't do any of the main things he'd been promising, although he had a go at getting a wall built. So what are the chances of him doing things that someone else is promising?
