As some of us suspected, GEOTUS' legal battles were trainwrecked by a drunk and incompetent Rudy Giuliani -- astounding inside account of the post-election mess of incompetence that punted away the election -- Patrick Byrne, Overstock CEO (Sidney Powell understood the steal, RG did not)

Of course I agreed at the time, but in retrospect, NO ONE EVER listened to Trump. Because he's a nice guy and kind of a softie. In a good way to us Pedes, but he needed to Pinochet the left.
It started when he said at that Inaugural Ball something nice about HIllary. Then the Hawaiian judge overruled the "Muslim" ban. Then the m-f-ing Mueller investigation. An LBJ or a Nixon or a Hillary would have left Mueller in metaphorical pieces by the road. Schumer and Pelosi would have gotten little Mafioso type warnings to back down.
The generals who defied the Syrian drawdown of troops.
PENCE. Trump said on Jan. 6 he "hoped" Pence would do the right thing. Pence should have already had a Don Corleone talk about respect and consequences, so that there were NO surprises to come along.
Long way of saying -- Trump had no power whatsoever except to do little things around the margins, for much of his presidency. I.e., the military would not have listened to any orders.
With muscular exercise of power, he likely could have consolidated his influence and won allies among those who respect power not principles (i.e., 100 % of Washington D.C.) . he was never going to get anywhere on the merits, ESPECIALLY since he threatened the MIC gravy train and the flow of riches from China / Ukraine / Russia to anyone corruptible.
The only reason Biden is exercising some power is because he's who the real hands on the levers of power want, and he just does what he is told. That was not the deal with DJT of course.
