A president should have foresight. Some who would like to be president in 2024 are rushing to condemn the man they campaigned very hard for just months ago. A fatal foresight flaw to have not seen the seeds of what they now condemn? If not, why not?
Caution: if your answer includes the sudden identification of behaviors that were in evidence for years (but about which you did not speak up, despite, in some cases first-hand witness), you are undermining your case.
It also occurs to me that President Trump, as a part of post-tenure self-care, will repay the newly critical with disclosures about meetings they were in, things they said, pitches they watched go by etc. that will be easily verifiable/provable.
Think of the number of times officials said "that didn't happen," and the president said "that happened." Post presidency, this phenomenon could impede the ascent of those currently putting in heavy effort into rehabilitation.
