I always knew he didn't give two shits about republicans!
I guess it's not too soon for the right to start talking about how they are going to win it all in 2028?
Trump promotes article urging him to run as third-party candidate if GOP dumps him
Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday said that he would run as a third-party candidate if the Republican Party does not make him its 2024 presidential nominee. He concedes that running as a third-party candidate in 2024 would likely also hand Democrats the White House, but suggests it would be worth it to teach the Republican Party a lesson about defying its base. "I have no intention of supporting a Republican Party that manifestly contravenes the desires of its voters".

Trump threatens to burn down the GOP
https://nypost.com/2022/11/21/trump-threatens-to-burn-down-the-gop-its-time-to-move-on/
It is painfully clear from his track record in both the 2020 election and the 2022 midterms that Donald Trump is neither capable of forging this winning coalition nor delivering the decisive and durable victory required. Indeed, among the current crop of potential nominees, Trump is the person least able to unite the party and the one most likely to lose the general election.
The threat is simple: Unless the rest of the party goes along with me, I will burn the whole house down by leading “my people” out of the GOP. "My people" being a group that is probably no larger than a quarter of the GOP, but which allows Trump to use it as leverage to extort and bully the rest of the party into submission.
Trump’s willingness to destroy the party if he does not get his way is not based on principle, but on his own supreme narcissism. His egoism makes him unable to think of a political party as anything but an extension of himself — a cult of personality.
