Trump lemons are always lemonade to him

As Republicans get ready to beat back a DONALD TRUMP impeachment conviction for the second time, sources close to the former president say he’s already imagining his comeback.

“He’s compared it to that time in between seasons of ‘The Apprentice,’ building anticipation and wonderment for what’s to come,” one adviser told us of the period between his White House exit, eventual acquittal and his second act.

Other Trump advisers said he has revelled in his silence on Twitter — expressing amazement at how much coverage his few public statements have garnered.

You didn't think he was going to publicly admit a Twitter ban hurts, did you?
IVANKA TRUMP and JARED KUSHNER have warned Trump that while he has the votes for acquittal, he can still screw this up. “Snatch defeat from the jaws of victory” is the phrase Kushner has been heard using most frequently to describe the worry.

Trump has actually taken the advice, spending most of his days golfing when he’s not tossing out bad legal advice to his lawyers, advisers said.

“Right now Trump is thinking, ‘I’ve got 45 votes, all I have to do is go golfing and not do anything,’” one of the aides told us.

Trump’s aides said he plans to spend the week in front of the TV watching his trial, rather than hitting the links.
He should be subpoenaed to testify. Dems are missing their best case by not doing it.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
