       | He's now got a much larger platform than Parler to spread his
       | hate, which depending on his motivations for the purchase might
       | make the need to buy it redundant.
       | 
       | I also imagine the recent termination of brand deals, and the
       | high amount of child support he's been ordered to pay can't help
       | with the financial feasibility of the purchase.

       | Why buy expensive PR when you're already done?
