What Trump alums are doing now can be divided in two groups those promoting Trump and the MAGA movement, and those who are going more traditional routes. It underscores the GOP divide Trump created.

Michael Flynn, a onetime national security adviser to former President Donald Trump, was videotaped in Texas over the weekend pushing talking points of the baseless QAnon conspiracy theory and also seeming to endorse a coup in the United States, though he later said he doesn’t back a coup.
