I think the establishment just made a fatal mistake.
One of Sun Tzu's best words of wisdom was to give your enemy some kind of path to retreat to. The logic is that if they have a place to retreat to, maybe they won't fight so hard in the battle.
Right now, I'm not sure if Trump has a reasonable exit strategy. They're not going to let him free to be a hotelier, reality talk show host, media mogul, run again in 2024, or even just be a private citizen with a little political influence. At best, they're going to continue to hound him relentlessly with bullshit legal problems and worse. They're not going to give him any avenue to have influence going forward and will do their damndest to shut down his businesses and put him in jail.
If he's not already out of power or worse (unsure right now) he has little time to roll the dice. He might not have a billionaire lifestyle to go back home to.
