I have no idea what his political aspirations are. He seems to be loyal to Trump throughout the 4 year administration, but I'm not surprised by much after a year like 2020.
The local newspaper owner/editor is a friend of mine, and when I dropped by today, he assured me that Trump was about to make a huge chessboard move on all this.
He studies this stuff and has all kinds of contacts, but although I like his version of the ultimate outcome, paranoia gets the best of me.
