While Trump lost the election in November, the fact that he choose to lie, try to overturn a popular election and ultimately incite a violent mob instead of conceding, he lost a lot more since then:
- He's suffered the further humiliation of losing 61 out of 62 lawsuits.
- He's suffered the further humiliation of losing 61 out of 62 lawsuits.
- He was humiliated by having the Supreme Court which is comprised of three Justices that he himself nominated rejecting his false claims twice in a single week.
- His already low approval rating according to Gallup has fallen even lower. He was at 46% on Election Day. 39% now.

- He's lost many of his most loyal allies. Mike Pence. Mitch McConnell. Lindsey Graham. The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board. The National Association of Manufacturers.
- He's lost business. The PGA has pulled the plug on Bedminster. His brand is more toxic than ever.

- His level of criminal exposure grew. On election day, he needed to worry about prosecutors in New York. Now he has to worry about additional charges in Georgia and new Federal charges. And, with his refusal to resign and strained relationship with Pence, he may not get a pardon
- His lawyer now faces a $1.3 BILLION dollar lawsuit from Dominion Voting Systems, the company that she and his other surrogates slandered. The Trump-allied media networks Fox News, OAN and News Max are likely to see similar if not more staggering lawsuits. As may Trump himself.
- His lies so confused and depressed voter turnout that after he went in person to Georgia to campaign for Perdue and Loeffler, both lost the next day, further cementing his reputation as a political loser.
- He very well may become the first President in American history to be impeached twice. Twice in thirteen months' time.
- And he may possibly be prevented from running again as well as lose his pension. Which will further limit his ability to monetize his post-Presidency.

Ford lost re-election. Carter lost re-election. Bush lost re-election. All put the country before their egos and graciously conceded. And all went on to have rewarding and profitable post-Presidency years.
Trump, in contrast, tried to tear the country apart by lying and saying he didn't lose. And while he clearly doesn't care one bit about the country he's injured, he has hurt himself tremendously. He is not going to enjoy the things the years to come bring for him.
