Fair (trigger) warning: I’ve tucked all images of The Former Guy below the fold, so DON’T BLAME ME if you click through.
Now that the miserable sumbich is safely out of power & the limelight, we (or, at least, I) can take pleasure in the suffering of his whole pack of lampreys…
Apparently, the word went out to say "he's looking great!", which might suggest that they know he's not looking all that great. pic.twitter.com/jA0LnezRsa

Dispatch from DC, via the Guardian, “Trump’s Washington hotel echoes to silence of missing Maga crowd”:
Once it was like a second White House for the Maga crowd. Now it is in danger of becoming a white elephant.
Clobbered first by the coronavirus pandemic, then by its owner’s election defeat, the Trump International Hotel in Washington is reeling from a huge loss of income and prestige. For critics of the former US president, it is welcome proof of how quickly the city is moving on without him.
“It used to be the hub of Trump World but I can’t imagine who goes there now,” said Sally Quinn, a local author and journalist. “We don’t even have tourists yet in Washington. I can’t imagine most people staying there when they come. I don’t know anybody who goes there or has gone there.”…
Dismissed by Sally Quinn, like a common Clinton! You *know* that’s gotta hurt — not just the Former Guy, but also his social-skidmarking offspring.
president trump is losing weight and looking like a proctologist finger condom filled with mashed potatoes left under a 7-11 heat lamp and it’s driving the liberals insane

Trump was supposed to be a political Godzilla in exile. Instead, he’s adrift. – POLITICO https://t.co/dLj9KzNU5V

Politico, of course, doesn’t know whether to mock or mourn:
He backed away from creating a third party and has soured on the costly prospect of launching his own TV empire or social media startup.
His vow to target disloyal Republicans with personally-recruited primary challengers has taken a backseat to conventional endorsements of senators who refused to indulge his quest to overturn the 2020 election.
And though he was supposed to build a massive political apparatus to keep his MAGA movement afloat, it’s unclear to Republicans what his PAC is actually doing, beyond entangling itself in disputes with Republican icons and the party’s fundraising arms.
“There is no apparatus, no structure and part of that is due to a lack of political understanding on Trump’s behalf,” said a person close to the former president, noting that Trump has struggled to learn the ropes of post-presidential politicking…
“For any normal politician, it would look like he’s trying to have it both ways but really he’s trying to have it his way,” said a former Trump White House official. “He only cares about maintaining his power and his stranglehold over the Republican Party and it doesn’t matter to him how any of the moves he makes affect the long-term success of institutions or individuals other than himself.”
Trump has always been an impulsive figure who demanded loyalty from those around him. But those traits have come with positions of power: whether atop a real estate empire, as a media celebrity, or — in his last iteration — as president of the United States…
Jarvanka not in evidence, you’ll notice! Just the spouse of much-mocked lesser spawn Eric, a lady who’s valiantly (desperately) grifting away at a much reduced level…
Jesus. What a headline.
The Trump family steals from kids with cancer (and paid $2m fine)
They steal from dogs in shelters.

Who wants to start the rumor that Young Prince Jared is off recovering from yet another round of plastic surgery, hoping to disassociate himself from some part of the upcoming gotterdammerung?
It's like he's in stage 4 or 5 of a 10 stage process of becoming Stephen Miller. Wish him luck with his transition. https://t.co/SnL5y7itiL
