As I noted in 2016 (not here but online elsewhere), at least with
Trump we would get many legal questions answered. And so we have. No
doubt this will continue.

And I suppose it is possible that, freed from any obligation to his
supporters since he cannot run again, he /might/ try healing and
rebuilding. As opposed to dividing and destroying.

One indicator might be if he actually pardons the Jan 6 folks. After
all, not only can they do nothing for him in the future even with
their right to vote restored, they failed in 2020. Why should he be
grateful to failure?
