5. The thing that seems clear is that Trump is purely about himself and has absolutely no loyalty to...

...the USA or to the democracy here. It does not seem too much of a stretch to suggest that Trump is a security threat to the nation due to that lack of loyalty and to all the classified documents and procedures to which he has had access: that is to say that it seems very likely that if offered enough money (or anything else he would personally enjoy), he would happily offer everything he knows to a foreign security service.

Any passport that he has should be pulled and he should be in federal custody until his full culpability in the 1/6 Insurrection is adjudicated.

So, as you stated, he should be locked up; and immediately - if that wasn't already your implication.

8. I love the way the real threats of action are coming from his fan club

while he's done bupkus, for reasons cited in the video.

Every bit of his "belief" was founded on blogs by anonymous right wing weirdos having drams about conspiracies and writing them down. That's where the "boxes of fake ballots" and other "proof" that TFG won came from. It's why his lawyers got laughed out of curt. His narcissism is why he will never admit any of this in public. It's why Eastman and others came up with that coup attempt.

And it's why he will eventually face prison, although not any time soon.

While we'd all love to see him deposed in a defamation suit against CNN and other news outlets that aren't Pox or Newsmax, it's just not going to happen. Even the bottom of the barrel lawyers he's got now are too smart to allow it.

9. Trump is all bluster

His threats are toothless and I’m certain CNN will just ignore him.

“Subjective belief” is the phrase that shows his threat is meaningless. Courts like provable facts; leave your beliefs at the door.

Trump is terrified of being deposed and he knows that Discovery will blow him out of the water. Even his third rate lawyers know that he doesn’t have a case against the news organizations. That’s why they came up with that artful phrase.

that the rest of us have, it's how religion gets accommodated. Religions can't sue each other over differences of opinion and neither can he. They all find it intensely frustrating.

In addition, he doesn't believe it, himself, that he knows he just plain lost, fair and square.

That's why the major bluster is coming from his fan club.

10. The REAL "Steal" was in 2016.

Nearly three MILLION votes counted for nothing. Are the PTB EVER going to get rid of the Electoral College? TFG seems to have forgotten that he has NEVER won a national popular vote !

The narcissistic brain of the big Orange loser cannot accept that he lost to a balder older man who he viewed as inferior. Trump now cannot let go of his lie because it serves the bigger purpose of a defense strategy when he is indicted. The clips of him responding to questions at his current golf tournament really show an old overweight buffoon who is fading fast...no orange makeup and no giant suit to cover his lard ass.
