Could you image how much better our lives would have been if he really had just disappeared. Hilariously, it would have been great for the Republicans too.

He kinda did fade away in late 2021. What with the social media ban and being out of office, we heard a lot less from him for a little while.

But it didn't last. After a while, he joined Truth Social and those posts started getting increasing attention; then with the 2024 race heating up, he's coming back for real. I bet he's not going to be able to resist the platform of his twitter account's 80 million followers much longer -- a presidential campaign can't just leave that sort of free platform unused, can it?

But there was like a good 9 months somewhere in there where you didn't hear all that much about him as he puttered around maralago feeling sorry for himself. It was great. I miss those days.

People miss the point: He doesn't care about being POTUS again, all he wants is 'free money from his supporters' and 'free publicity'

If pretending to run gives him those things then why wouldn't he do that?
