Trump was fresh and new during his 2016 campaign. Has his fame fizzled?

Instead of taking off like a rocket over the past three weeks, Donald Trump’s bid to win back the White House appears, so far at least, to be blowing up on the launchpad.

The swagger of 2016 has given way to somnolence in 2022. Opinion polls are grim. Legal setbacks are piling up. A run of dismal results in the midterm elections, culminating in another Republican loss in Georgia this week, have punctured his aura of invincibility within the party.

The GOP have gotten what they needed out of Trump: a demonstration that there is no bottom to the barrel. That someone can be as repellent a human being as possible and loudly espouse the most horrific views and associations and there is a base for it that will support and vote for that. The GOP is now done with Trump since they can find SMART people who will take this knowledge and do some real damage.
 
When Bannon was kicked out of the admin, he was asked what Trump's biggest problem was. He said "money laundering". It was Russian oligarchs and Putin's money he was scrubbing. That is why he was kowtowing to Putin and Russia.
