8. Trump has moved on

Jan 2021

He'll always portray himself as the victim of "the greatest election fraud in history" but he's already looking for his next scam.

Whatever happens in the Senate, perhaps it's irrelevant to him. He never wanted the JOB of being president. He just wanted the POMP and influence of the gig. It also helped that he enjoyed such impenetrable legal immunity while he was president.

It wouldn't me if he doesn't even send a representative to the Senate trial. No matter what he does, he can't win. The best he could hope for is an acquittal but he'll still have been impeached twice.

I think he's moved on.
