What does Trump really want going forward ???
He sees himself as Messianic, so he wants to be crucified and buried >>> so that he can miraculously rise from the dead <<<
Anything like the 45-55 vote already cast on a preliminary question about the constitutional validity of the single Article of Impeachment against Trump will leave the former President un-vindicated and completely unsatisfied --- any "win" on a technicality would be insipid, and thus unacceptable to Trump.....
On the other hand, a conviction by the Democrats and a mix of RINO and Never-Trump Republicans would give Donald J. Trump a truly Trumpian reality TV ending big enough for his ego and >>> a unique place in American History <<<
It would also enable Trump to attempt to parlay that into a political resurrection.
--- Just picture Trump being able to deliver his own political eulogy; and then using that eulogy as an oration to recast what to his enemies was deemed revolting into something that his followers might well see as revolutionary.
