I read an article somewhere stating that Biden is likely to avoid his administration pursuing Trump and his personal excesses, as he didn't want his term to be defined by it.
Seems quite a shrewd move to me if it is true, there seems to be sufficient potential movement against him outside the directly political arena to give Trump a very hard time if the gloves come off once he is no longer President. From the IRS, through commercial interests, through Cyrus Vance Jr there is a big queue building up.
Particularly if that hits the Trump dynasty finances, there is a real chance of much of his entourage melting away, and I'm not sure what his mental state will become without all the protective cocoon of state.
On the other hand, the GOP has seen a way of attaining the Presidency through populism, and if things don't change, it won't be overlooked for future contests. My own suspicion is that the Trump brand will be too soiled to go with even a younger Trump, but neo-populism under someone such as Ted Cruz is far from a distant proposition.
