The pattern here was simple: Trump’s world had lost the election, lost the White House, and still could not stop acting like consequences were for other people. March 26 did not deliver one giant implosion so much as a steady drip of proof that the fallout from his falsehoods was becoming institutional, legal, and increasingly hard to spin away.
