This may be his last chance to pack an arena with cheering sycophants to honor dear leader. No protests (inside), lots of balloons, and flags to hug.

As counterintuitive as it may be, I’m thinking this is a good sign. He wants a convention where he’s the star of the show and he knows if he waits until 2028, it will be someone else’s show or he knows he may not make it til August ‘28.

A man a dream, right?
