Per Axios:Trump going on tour bringing white nationalist MAGA rallies to a state near you this summer https://t.co/eDUJRxGgLT

Trump senior adviser Jason Miller tells Axios Trump rallies are likely to "start as soon as late spring or early summer."
Miller said Trump "has already begun to vet and endorse candidates for 2022, with an eye toward electing not just Republican candidates, but America First Republican candidates."
"His endorsement lifts candidates above the pack and often clears the primary field," Miller said. "The general election endorsement provides access to 'Trump voters' not normally accessible to Republicans."
Late spring means May; and it's already May 7. Early summer means June. Is there any plannig for this underway?
Maybe. And good luck with it. Frankly, I won't believe it until I see it. But endorsing candidates for election in November, 2022, in June 2021? Um, yeah....
I know this gets the punderati all excited, because they get something to talk about and send cameras too and chew over on cable TV and Sunday morning, but to the rest of us? Besides, this isn't about endorsements; it's about the grift. Trump will raise money from these rallies (otherwise he won't do them). And some cities won't host them (the ones his campaign stiffed). He'll stiff new cities, because the money raised is Trump's, and he won't let go of it. Indeed, with so many cities suffering after the pandemic, he may not find too many cities anxious to host him without payment for police and other expenses made up front. Which will probably chill his enthusiasm for travel.
Either way, I got better things to do with my summer. And again, I'll refer you to the tens of people outside the arena where Arizona is "re-counting" ballots. If that stretches into the summer, I expect the sidewalks to clear.
There aren't that many mad dogs or Englishmen in Phoenix.
