I don't understand this reasoning. I would think they'd be more likely to convict due to him starting a party: “Trump has told people that the third-party threat gives him leverage to prevent Republican senators from voting to convict him during the Senate impeachment trial,” The Washington Post reported today.
Are you sure that Trump started the party or are they just naming him in hopes of getting him involved?
I strongly think that Trump's ultimate goal would be to head The Patriot Party as a faction of The Republican Party similar to The Tea Party but much more official and a lot stronger.
I doubt it makes any difference at all.... what Trump or anybody else does. The Dems have their "cheat machine" at the ready... and everybody with any power to perhaps do something about it will continue to "turn a blind eye". America will be living under tyrannical Leftism from now on.
