Yeah, I agree. I think there was also a moment where the GOP leadership came to Trump early on and said, "Yo man, you can do whatever you want, you're our man now" - and for Trump, that gave him the confidence to be an absolute buffoon for four years. Likely dawning on him now that the moment he loses his following is the same moment the GOP leadership abandons him as a used-up puppet, and the justice system circles in.
