The turbulence surrounding Donald Trump has continued into the latter.
Despite radio silence on social media and a comfortable life in Mar-a-Lago, well-known news recently came from the Florida holiday idyll: Trump and his legal team are going their separate ways.
The dispute is said to have been about Trump initially wanting to build his defense around continuing to claim that he was robbed of the election victory and that the words he uttered outside the White House, on January 6, were thus nothing but the truth.
However, Donald Trump's new defense team got the former president thinking differently.
The Democrats have thoroughly prepared the Supreme Court indictment by building a timeline around everything that happened on 6 January.
And at the center of the indictment is Donald Trump's speech, outside the White House, but also examples of how he has continuously since the election in November whipped up the mood around the election result, by claiming without any evidence that he has been subjected to electoral fraud.
And that the president's incitement caused the protesters to walk to Congress and carry out the storming.
The Democrats argue that the party must carry out the Supreme Court indictment because Donald Trump's crimes are so serious and the consequences for the country and democracy so extensive.
"Political theater"
Donald Trump's defense will also assert freedom of speech and that the speech, just before the storm began, was a typical political performance.
Lawyers describe the indictment as "political theater" and say Trump never called anyone to commit a crime.
In addition, there is much to suggest that the storm was planned, long before Donald Trump turned to his supporters, the lawyers say.
The Supreme Court indictment should primarily be seen as a political process, which at the same time can prevent Donald Trump from running in future elections.
But for that to happen, the 17 Republicans must first bring down their party comrade in the Supreme Court indictment, and it is unlikely that this will happen.
Last year's Supreme Court indictment lasted for 21 days, before Trump was acquitted.
This time, the prosecution will be decided much faster than that.
The Republicans want to shift the focus from Donald Trump as quickly as possible, and the Democrats are anxious that the political work in Washington, as quickly as possible, return to normal in order to realize Joe Biden's policies.
The Supreme Court indictment is probably over in just over a week.
Trump stays at home
Unsurprisingly, there was also, in the past, a call from Democrats for Donald Trump to appear in the Senate to testify under oath.
It was a rather lame and hopeless attempt.
Now, Trump's defense will be based on the fact that it violates the constitution, the constitution, to put a president who has already left office in court.
And therefore it is a reasonable response from Donald Trump to refuse to be questioned in the Senate.
Why would he answer questions in a case that, from their point of view, is contrary to the Constitution?
