New Year’s Day usually gets framed as a clean slate. For Trumpworld, January 1, 2022 looked more like the calendar turning while the same wreckage stayed in place: the election lie, the pressure campaign, and the legal exposure all still very much alive. The self-own wasn’t that Trump lost a news cycle. It was that the news cycle was still documenting the same behavior, and the bill was still coming due.
