this line is what really torments me " he's still the Commander-In-Chief at this very moment"

Exactly so if he orders the Insurrection Act and the top general says "no" fire him for insubordination. Get General 2 in and repeat until you find one who will obey commands. Pretty simple.

The way that his supporters who have already put up with 5 years of abuse have just seemingly thrown to the wolves is salt in the wounds. Until Jan 6th I couldn't imagine President Trump doing that, but the last 2 weeks he has.

Its part of a bigger plan or he really did just decide the stakes were too high and he was going to retire to Mar a Largo. tough times.
