From 1378 to 1417, there were 2 Popes, one in Rome, the other in Avignon. Why not 2 Presidents, one in DC, the other in Mar-A- Lago?

For Donald Trump, it was never about being President.

He never really cared about being President, running the country or defending the Constitution.

What he cared about was being the star of the biggest reality TV show in the world. The Presidency.

Compared to The Presidency, The Apprentice, his last gig, was really nothing. OK, it rated great for ten years, had a killer set and made him about $450 million. But compared to The Presidency, it was small potatoes.

The Presidency Show had a much better set — The White House. A much better plane — Air Force One, and much better guest stars. Yeah, The Apprentice had Joan Rivers, but The Presidency had Vlad Putin, Kim Jong-Un, that guy Erdogan and a cast of millions. I mean, it was unbelievable. You could book anyone. And the audience! OK, The Apprentice had seven million viewers, which was pretty good by NBC standards. But The Presidency had 70 million, not to mention the rallies. What a great series.

But then, it all came crashing down.

The Network (that is, the US Government and its stupid ‘election’) cancelled the show.

Unfair! It was rating so well.

Well, no point in crying over spilt milk. When the networks cancels a hit show, what do we do? We take it to another network?

And that is just what Donald Trump is doing.

Taking a page from Warner Brothers, who have decided that there is more money in HBO and online than in their old venue, movie theaters, Donald Trump is taking The Donald Trump Show online.

Who needs the old ‘US Government’ network anyway?

So, the show is NOT ending on January 21st, when Joe Biden (boring Joe, bad TV Joe, not entertaining Joe) gets Trump’s old time slot and set.

The Donald Trump Show is just getting started.

Since he first announced he was running for President, everyone has always underestimated Donald Trump. They still do to this day. The political pundits and the news business are stuck in the old linear world of US Government, White House, Presidency.

In the digital online world, those things mean about as much as Regal Cinema.

In short, nothing.

The Donald Trump President Show is going to continue after January 21st, and it is going to be bigger and better than ever.

No longer constrained by all those stupid and archaic laws, The Donald Trump President Show will be able to break new boundaries that no one even ever thought of.

Oh, Boring Joe Biden may be ensconced in his Oval Office Studio, but The Donald Trump President Show will go out live over social media every day, every hour, every minute from The Real White House — Mar-a -Lago.

Think it can’t happen?

Think again.

In 1309, Pope Clement V moved the Papacy from Rome to Avignon, France. By 1378, there were two Popes, one in Avignon, the other in Rome. And that was before Social Media and TV.

Nope.

Donald Trump is NOT going away.

He’s going to relaunch the show.

The kick off performance — like any good TV executive, he’s going to counter program against the Boring Joe Biden Gets Virtually Sworn In as “Fake President.”

As Mark Burnett would say, this is really going to rate!

Tune it.

70 million other Americans will.

Just as Warner Brothers has discovered that they don’t need movie theaters, Donald Trump has discovered that he doesn't need the White House
