Former President Donald Trump is expected to meet with his closest advisers on Wednesday to craft his gameplan for the 2022 midterm elections, Fox News reports.
Trump has already made over 80 endorsements in upcoming races, but he has not yet weighed in on a number of high-profile races that will be key to Republicans in 2022, including for Senate in Arizona, Missouri, and Ohio, and he hasn’t yet endorsed a candidate in either the Pennsylvania or Michigan gubernatorial primaries.
Making matters particularly complicated for Trump is that his advisers are not all in agreement over whom the former president should endorse in the various races.
But ultimately, Trump’s decision over whom to endorse will come down to one person: Donald Trump.
“Donald Trump makes every decision and doesn’t need a committee to tell him who he should endorse,” one adviser told Fox News.
Meetings such as the upcoming one are “not where any real decisions get made,” the adviser said, saying that “the real work gets done with him.”
Another adviser told Fox News that now more than ever, Trump is making his own decisions rather than relying on his advisers and outside groups, saying that he “is driving the train more so than ever before.”

will come down to one person: Donald Trump. Excuse me:- one person:- PRESIDENT Donald Trump!!
His only option is how involved he should get in the primaries, since even if he gets “political IOUs” from one candidate in the primary, he will risk hostility by the other candidates. To have any long term influence (long term, as in 2024), he’ll need to enthusiastically support the ticket in 2022, even and especially those whom he didn’t support in the primaries.
His obvious goal is to be viable to lead a united party in 2024, or at least become the kingmaker and senior statesman in chief.
My advice to Trump:
Just retire. Every once in a while when you want kovod you can make a major rally but in general it would be best for you and everyone else if you just retire.
Does he have advisers? Anyone whose opinion doesn’t match his is denigrated and belittled!
Trump is still president, over 85% of the voting was fraud!
