If he creates a new party, even at the height of his popularity (which is waning fast), all he would succeed in doing is splitting the Republican vote down the middle and making it near impossible for them to win anything at all. Put it this way; he lost by a good margin in November, and at least half of that was not the MAGA/Trump component, it was the "Well I don't much like Trump but at the end of the day I'm a Republican" component... Who are entirely unlikely to switch to voting for a new Trump Party. If a new party took off in any meaningful way, the Dems would dominate for decades to come.
