In less than two months Trump will be able to sell his shares in Trump Media/Truth Social. The value of those shares are artificially inflated. Put yourself in his shoes. Sell while the price is still high and stab everyone in the back or wait until the election which he risks losing and possibly see the stock crash hard. If he loses, his political career is certainly over and the GOP will know his brand of politics can't win national elections. They'llbe lookingto sweep him under the rug. If he cashes in early all that money could buy a lot of lawyers to drag out the trials he faces and that's been his strategy so far.

That's just his personality when he doesn't get what he wants. He always has gone off the rails. He's a rich, entitled brat that never had to grow up because he has always been able to just get rid of anyone who didn't do everything he wanted.
Republicans only have themselves to blame for throwing their weight behind a narcississt crook rapist who is losing his marbles and his entourage of more crooks and enablers. Imagine how much they might have accomplished if their candidate was competent and surrounded by competent people.
His Olympic-level mental gymnastics abilities are starting to fail at keeping him convinced that what is happening to him isn't someone else's fault.
