1. Daily Caller & Politico are reporting that Brad Parscale was pushing Trump to join Parler to build up a presence in case he got banned

Trump never went for it & I'm not surprised, why would the kid from Queens who is desperate for mainstream approval go to a smaller platform?

2. Donald Trump was so desperate for the approval of the wealthy and powerful in Manhattan that instead of going with his dad's highly profitable business model of lower income housing he went for the gold and glitz of 5th avenue.

3. Despite calling it fake news, Donald Trump wants nothing more than to be on A1 of the NYT, he wants to be liked by the people in Manhattan who never approved of him

Trump & his allies could have started his own social media company and/or news network by now, but they haven't

4. He wants to be retweeted by reporters & other prominent figures. Will he go to Parler now? Perhaps, he doesn't have a choice. But for all the love he has of his rallies, he still wants to be talked about by the people who will never approve of him.
