Trump is too self-absorbed and too lazy to play a major role in a political movement in the future. He's not about collective action or helping others. He's not motivated by ideas. He cares about money and fame. These are rarely traits of mass movement leaders.
Graham on Fox says he spoke to Trump last night. “He’s ready to move on and rebuild the Republican Party. He's excited about 2022. And I'm going to go down to talk with him next week, play a little golf in Florida. And I said Mr. President this MAGA movement needs to continue.”

After the trial, 71% of Americans now believe Trump was at least partially responsible for the deadly Jan 6 attack. 57 Senators found Trump guilty. We secured his dishonored place in history.
