3. I know this is a long shot

but Trump could actually be afraid that Democrats will hit 67 Senate votes ( or get close enough to cause enough republicans to join on a vote to convict and remove ). We keep hearing all the time about what some republicans say in private about Trump.

After conviction and removal, it would be a small step to remand him to the Hague for War Crimes ( along with Kegsbreath and possibly Rubio, maybe even Vance ).

Long shot. But if the economy goes into an "oil shock" deep recession. and if China and the EU dump their Treasury notes ( for example ) an economic depression would almost surely result. That might be enough to turn even the hardest MAGA against Trump ( so much for "winning" ).

These thoughts might be keeping him up until 3am posting his dementia based blathering on Untruth Social.
