The pattern matters as much as the individual motions. Trump-world spent the day trying to litigate, delay, and reframe its way out of trouble, but the underlying problems were still the same: fraud allegations, document-wrangling fallout, and a legal strategy built more for cable-news combat than for court. On November 21, the walls were not yet down, but they were clearly closing in.

5 stars means maximum fallout. 1 star means a smaller self-own.
