“Donald Trump may no longer be president, but his allies are still acting like he is as he plots his political comeback, saying he’s been taking meetings with his ‘cabinet’ officials in preparation for a potential 2024 presidential.

‘We met with some of our cabinet members tonight,’ Mark Meadows, his former White House chief of staff, told Newsmax on Friday.

‘We actually had a follow up member meeting with some of our cabinet members and as we are looking into that, we are looking into what does come next. I’m not authorized to speak on behalf of the president, but I can tell you this: we wouldn’t be meeting tonight if we weren’t making plans to move forward in a real way with president Trump at the head of that ticket.’”

It’s axiomatic that Donald Trump’s base is made up of gullible evangelicals, brain-addled rednecks, brainwashed QAnon cultists and other assorted riff-raff. They accept as Gospel the Big Lie that their messiah was cheated out of his election victory and that he’s still the legitimate president.

But many Republican congressional leaders and former Trump administration officials are also parroting the Big Lie.

They reside in an alternate universe where Joe Biden managed to thwart the will of God and cheat his way into the White House, and where God’s anointed will soon be reinstated to power.

Mark Meadows, the former Trump White House chief of staff, still refers to Trump as “the president.” Trump lost to Joe Biden in an electoral college and popular vote landslide, and he should be called “the former president”, “the twice-impeached ex-president”, or simply as “the big loser”, but he should never be addressed as “the president.”

Trump isn’t president and he doesn’t have a cabinet, what he does have is a motley crew of sycophants, fluffers and hangers-on. And they only thing they are discussing is whose turn is it to change the Big Guy’s diaper.
