As Steve Bannon is pardoned for scamming border wall money, he’s likely the new operative for a Trump political party to promote neo-fascism. Trump has trial ballooned it prior to leaving DC and its site of a recent insurrection. Bannon has been speaking with Trump in recent weeks.

In trying to launch a new party, the Trumpist party could look like some strange QAnon amalgam of the Tea Party’s astroturf grievances, the Reform Party’s nativist wrestling stars, and George Wallace’s segregationist American Independence Party.
Gavin Wax, president of the New York Young Republican Club, writes forAmerican Greatnessthat “MAGA Patriots Must Win the GOP Civil War.”His argument is that “the grassroots need [sic] to remain in the GOP, destroy RINOs in primary contests, support Republicans in general elections, and make sure establishment traitors cannot escape the specter of Trump for generations to come.”
President Trump has reportedly floated the possibility of starting a new political party as he prepares to leave the White House amid internal struggles within the Republican Party.
It’s unclear how serious Mr. Trump is about starting a new party, which would require a significant investment of time and resources. The president has a large base of supporters, some of whom were not deeply involved in Republican politics prior to Mr. Trump’s 2016 campaign.
Third parties have typically failed to draw enough support to play a major role in national elections. Any effort to start a new party would likely face intense opposition from Republican party officials, who would chafe at the thought of Mr. Trump peeling off support from GOP candidates. www.wsj.com/…
The Wall Street Journalreportedon Tuesday that Trump has discussed the matter with associates in the last week, suggesting he would call it the “Patriot Party.”
According to the Journal, it's unclear how serious the outgoing president is about starting a new party. The outlet noted that Trump's wide base of supporters was not heavily involved in the Republican Party before Trump became the party's 2016 presidential nominee.
Speculation has grown as to whether Trump will run for the presidency again in 2024. If he did, it could effectively exclude other viable Republican candidates from pursuing the presidency. Traditionally, third parties have failed to gain enough momentum to challenge the Democratic and Republican parties.
This endeavor would likely be strongly opposed by Republican leadership…

Especially Steve Bannon connected to Neo Nazis groups in Europe and he himself having a base In Abadía di Trisuli Italy where lots of members get together the keeper of this place is UK Benjamin Harnwell https://t.co/mjwrhpe6aS
When Obama met Merkel and we had dinner with her staff after the 2016 election, one of the Germans said with dismay at the appointment of this white nationalist: “we know Bannon.” A man who knowingly plays history’s darkest chords. No pardon erases his deep guilt.
Shortly after pardoning congressmen and lobbyists convicted of corruption, Trump releases an order at 1:07 a.m. revoking his own ethics executive order from 2017, freeing his own former aides from the limits he had imposed on their ability to lobby the government.
Alright so if I'm understanding this correctly, a group of Pizzagaters were driven away from Comet Ping Pong moments ago by what can only be described as an impromptu neighborhood Gaga dance party. https://t.co/Gat7hrWSfW
