"The difference between stupidity
and genius is that genius has its limits."

No, it wouldn't be. Fauci isn't a Trump appointee, he has been serving for decades throughout multiple administrations. Getting rid of Fauci just because he advised Trump would be asinine, just like Trump tried to get rid of literally anything Obama had touched.
Biden isn't an idiot like Trump who will seek to destroy everything related to the previous administration. Biden will, like a sane person, get rid of much of Trump's cabinet (because most of them are corrupt or incompetent) and proceed to roll back Trump policies that are harmful to the USA. On the policies that aren't harmful he won't arbitrarily get rid of them out of pure spite, because Biden isn't an narcissistic egomaniac. We will rejoin the Paris Climate Accords, cease our withdrawal from the WHO, and continue to negotiate with China on trade policy. I doubt he'll just end the trade war, he'll find places to compromise on and hopefully leverage places where we are in an advantageous position. Because, I cannot stress this enough, Biden is not a man-child that is fueled by spite.
So apparently the orange clown intends to keep on doing "campaign" rallies.
It was ever all about the attention for this narcissist.

What Trump does means less and less. By January no one will care what he says or does except for pardons and executive orders and other things that are binding after he leaves.
Trump is finished. His remaining task is to humiliate the republican party and especially his supporters as much as he wants until Biden takes over.

I'm 85.33333%, repeating of course, surprised. Yes, Team Trump is both demoralized and also distracted by all that golfing. I mean, completely legitimate lawsuits they're filing. Yeah. And it's not like a couret case will be swung by a rally.
But:
1) I don't think Trump knows that. I think he believes court cases are decided in the court of public opinion. I think he believes all things are decided there.
2) He needs to keep his base riled up and angry if he's going to start terrorist riots, which is still an option for him.
3) Rallies are therapy for him. Trump loves nothing more than to stand before a (cough partially) packed crowd and hear people cheer how much they love him. You'd think he'd need a dose of that like an extra-large order of fries right now.
4) It would be another way to funnel what's left of his campaign's money into his pockets before paying outstanding debts to other places.

George Conway is throwing some spicy shade.
so I'm thinking maybe the solution is we get Sheldon Aldelson or somebody to build a fake Oval Office at the Doral with rubber walls and a TV with a 24/7 simulated OAN feed telling him what a great president for life he is
and a smartphone with just Parler on it (we give him a fake EO to sign banning all other TV networks and Twitter) all with attendants in white coats bringing him medicated Cokes and Big Macs
