Notes -
On October 25, 2020, I tried my hand at the prediction game, registering a prediction elsewhere:
It had been clear by then that the election results would be a mess, but I'd been strongly convinced by the narrative that Trump would make a ruckus for a few weeks to appease his supporters, then lie low until he runs in 2024. Needless to say, I was very surprised when he kept contesting the results well past the Electoral College vote in December; I accepted its legitimacy as coming directly from the Constitution, and I'd thought Trump would similarly respect it. I suppose he simply isn't as much of a traditionalist as I'd judged him to be, given MAGA and all that.
Anyway, being disillusioned, I stopped keeping track of anything Trump-related after January 2021. But given that he apparently intends to run again, does anyone have any good, informative summaries of what he's been up to since then?
I believe he's been posting mostly on the social media Truth Social where he's been growing even more deranged. It seems like you need an account to view posts there so I don't know exactly what he's been doing except for screenshots.

He left the Whitehouse without incident on January 20, so he upheld the Constitution in that sense, where it mattered most. The whole 'election was stolen' narrative was to embolden supporters, raise funds. There is nothing inherently unconstitutional about believing the election was stolen or contesting the results.
