You didn’t think I would stop writing about Trump, did you? Nope. He’s the gift that keeps on giving.

Trump gave a short speech before boarding Air Force One for the last time on Wednesday. He ended that speech on an ominous note, saying

“We will be back in some form.”

It turns out that Trump is considering starting a third party. He wants to call it the Patriot Party.

Before we go any further, let’s clarify that name. Most of us, when we hear the term “patriot”, think of someone who loves their country and is a vigorous supporter, willing to defend their country against both verbal and physical violence.

When Trump hears the word “patriot”, he thinks of a person who slavishly loves and supports HIM. So although this new party would not be called the Trump Party, it would actually be the Trump Party.

Everything is personal with Trump. He isn’t contemplating starting a new party because he feels that he can do a better job than the GOP or that a new party would better represent his base. No, he is doing it out of revenge.
