Analysis: Donald Trump is in full attack mode as Joe Biden celebrates a victory that eluded him

Donald Trump is tightening his malignant hold on American politics as Joe Biden battles to stabilize his own problem-plagued presidency by celebrating his massive infrastructure reform package -- a political win his predecessor never managed.

The corrosive and complicated impact of the 45th President's poisoned legacy again threatens to blot out Biden's efforts to look to the future on Monday, as Trump's political guru Steve Bannon turned himself in at the FBI's Washington field office after a federal grand jury indicted him last week for ignoring a subpoena from the House probe into Trump's coup attempt. In remarks to camera, he told his supporters to stay focused, adding: "We're taking down the Biden regime every day." In an earlier indication of the Trump team's willingness to embrace authoritarian rhetoric in open defiance of a democratic choice made by voters, Trump appeared to defend rioters, some who chanted "Hang Mike Pence," after his vice president refused to throw the election. The comment was contained in audio of an interview conducted for a new book by Jonathan Karl released by ABC News.

Trump, as he relentlessly solidifies plans for a likely 2024 presidential run, is meanwhile stepping up efforts to increase his dominance over the Republican Party, vowing to oust lawmakers who backed Biden's bipartisan $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure package. The current President will hold a high wattage signing ceremony for the measure at the White House on Monday, which will include at least two Republican senators who will show up in defiance of Trump. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, an incessant target of the ex-President, who also voted for the bill, will not, however, take part in Biden's victory lap. The event will be a reminder that Trump's own inept attempts to pass such infrastructure reform turned into an object of ridicule.

He doesn't use public infrastructure, nothing in it for him.

Since he's been removed from all of the platforms that have large user bases as an audiences, he's been limited to squealing to a small number of people on the various far-right echo-chamber chat sites.

The lack of audience must be one of the biggest thing that grates on his massive ass. He's a has-been loser with a diminishing number of people that listen to whatever verbal diarrhea he spews.
