Trump is planning something dastardly for the coming days. He surrounds himself with cheerleaders

who know that any contradiction is immediate firing. This shows that Trump feels he is divinely inspired and infallible. He has no compass and is capable of anything. Back in 2014 when I heard that his manager at Mar Lago would shout out "All Stand" when Trump entered a room I figured then that Trump felt he was divinely chosen.

Given consideration to anything 'divine'.

He is self-important. Self-interested. Self-obsessed. Do you really believe that trump believes in a deity? I don't.

followed by a thank god. I am simply saying that billionaires would tend to be grateful and religiousc billionaires would thank their god. If you see a conspiratorial connection or inference please just ask. I am a left wing agnostic pro labor pro union supply side that believes that if you are rich you garlicky.

Seriously. It's part of his narcissistic personality disorder.

That is why losing his 84 million twitter followers made him so angry.

To him they were his worshipers and validated his divinity in his mind.

lackeys, but sociopaths like Steve Bannon and Miller eager to use the last of his power to "good" effect.

Just as an obvious for instance, pardoning all the criminals of the insurrection. "His people." Including those inside congress who are believed to have sicced the mob on their colleagues. Ocasio-Cortez had to shelter with people she strongly suspected were telling the mob, whose animal roars they were hearing, where she was, and they could all have to continue working with people they know are plotting against them and our government.

In any case, whatever form(s) Trump's pathological vindictiveness could take while he still has power, we should prepare ourselves emotionally and then be glad if he goes out like a lamb after all.

is Trump is planning a last shot. Trump cannot stand an inferior position. Watching Ivanka may be a clue to Trump's final actions. Trump holds her above everybody and I don't think he would risk any harm to her.
