Trump Isn't Going Anywhere After Biden's Victory - The Atlantic

... Whether or not he escapes punishment, Trump could be a kingmaker of sorts. Over the past five years, he's forged an emotional bond with his base that isn't about to vanish; after all, millions of Americans likely accept his self-serving verdict that the election was stolen.
