There are some in his party who are hoping he will go back.

They do not know Trump very well.

There is a pattern of behavior in Trump that some call belief perseverance.

No amount of reasoning will change his mind.

There is a historical evidence of this.

In the 1980s, he was a USFL owner. The league had moderate success as long as they did compete directly with the NFL.
He and some of the other owners had a majority and moved their schedule to the fall to compete directly with the NFL.
Some feel was to force a merger with the NFL. It failed.
They tried to sue the NFL for being a monopoly but won only $3 in damages.
