I hope I am wrong too.
But Trump's hope for individual wealth, a pardon for himself, and various other things... would all improve if he could create a family dynasty and re-cast himself as the patriarch and source of power and wealth for it.
Of course I think that's deranged. But that's also why I think it's possible.

Interesting about the pardon. He has the chance to do so for both himself and his family but was advised against it due to being on legally shaky ground. As much as he loves to play fast and loose with the law and lawsuits, I am surprised that he took that advice. But that might strengthen your argument about the dynasty.

Hmm. Not so sure about that. Trumps desire for legacy is about himself, and no one else.
I think his kids are a dead end for a couple of reasons
Also I don't think that amplification of false narratives will be as unchecked as it has been. Social media will be much more cautious and traditional media outlets will be far more aggressive in countering spokespeople. The fact that Parler is now hosted on Russian systems makes it fair game now for the CIA / NSA so that will be interesting to watch.
Again, I think the Trump brand is now ruined. Trump and Trumpism will become bywords for incompetent, nationalist politics.
I hope you are wrong and I am right.
