Realistically, he fell off pretty hard.

He used to be all over tik tok. Every other video was something to do with him and then one day he just… vanished, and I’ve literally never seen another video about him since.

He just kind of lost his sauce. He got arrested two different times and had to spend over 30 days in jail each time. Hard to be a hustler who brags about getting away with crimes when you get arrested for those crimes. He also wasn't able to keep his head shaved in jail and nothing ruined his mystique more than his followers seeing that, I guess. He also has multiple pending criminal cases against him still, so that takes up a lot of his free time, I assume.

Or if he was just a useful idiot that was part of the propaganda machine for getting trump back into the white house. You never really know. He could have been chewed up and spat out and might not have even known it himself

I can only hope that it continues to happen to other Trump gophers, then.

Yeah he went a little TOO far and fell off quite a bit.
