He NEVER stepped down from the presidency when Biden beat him. He just carried on as "normal (for him)" as a government-in-exile. He received world leaders, held all the secret and top secret documents in his "White House" and even decorated a room to look exactly like the Oval Office, right down to the seal which is illegal to use unless you ARE the President. With everyone around him kowtowing to him and called him Mr President, even the courts in which he was being tried used this moniker. He *should* have been severely punished for breaking the law at that point. We only have one president at a time, and he did his best to cancel out Biden's presidency. And even tho Biden accomplished quite a lot, it always took second place to what president-in-exile trump was doing. This was the best of all possible worlds for trump--people accepting him as still the reigning president of the United States, but with no official power and no way to be harmed by the office. And we let him get away with this! Well... a damned good many of us were screaming about it for four years, but those with the power to affect change kinda just turned a blind eye. It's so infuriating.
He has the power and the ability (with Musk at his side) to dig into every states voter registration list and dig out each and every one of us Democrats, to exact pain on us for the audacity of voting against him. If we don't stop him quickly now, we may not have another chance.
And I've said this in the past, but I'll say it again. Who cares what the Judicial Branch says about a law? It's the Executive Office that is tasked with enforcing the laws. When you have a lawless Executive office, who's going to enforce judges' decisions and make the Executive Office abide by the law?
