"teflon Don" really did go too far this time. He was clearly stoking the flames before and during the riot, even if he came just shy of actively supporting them. All of the Republican old guard are abandoning him. They did the same thing after the Access Hollywood tape, but this looks more widespread and final. IMO he won't be able to win a 2024 primary, and his brand will become somewhat tainted in the Republican party.

trump loves to delegate to avoid direct responsibility, he makes calls/orders out to other people to do things for him.
though delegating is a managerial skill it also as a manager comes with the responsibility of taking liability for those you order around.

he got giuliani to make the 'fight' speach
he got his loyal trumpette supporters to walk to capital hill

but when it goes bad he announces that he had no association with those orders/people and cuts off any ties with them. blaming them for their actions and saying they have to pay the consequences
just like when he ordered to liberate states last summer.

i dont think trump is looking to re-apply in 2024. i think he is probably going to try to promote ivanka and kushner as an elect in 2024. hoping they will behind the scenes be loyal to daddy trump and follow his orders
