His goal was to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power. When American democracy is at it’s weakest, he thought he could bully America into throwing out the results of the election.
I’m glad he went to court, but the reason so few cases went to a jury is because they were frivolous. The cases were dismissed due to lack of evidence. Wikipedia shows one out of fifty-five cases were ruled in favor of Trump. Two are still ongoing.
The idea that Trump stepped down willingly _after_ the failed insurrection is laughable. He was out of options. He tried stopping the vote counts and failed. He tried stopping the vote certifications and failed. He tried bypassing the elector process to steal the electoral votes of states he certainly lost but failed. He attempted to delay or stop official congressional proceedings to stay in office, but failed.
