Closing take
If you squint, the Trump operation on December 11, 2021 looked less like a political movement than a liability management firm with a populist logo. The legal and ethical problems were no longer hypothetical; they were becoming the day-to-day business model. That is the core screwup here: the same instincts that fueled Trump’s rise were now generating a trail of subpoenas, lawsuits, and credibility sinkholes.
