Except, as you pointed out, his life.

Otherwise, he won't be driven from office, and will continue to grift and enrich himself and exact his petty revenge, while his minions attempt to dismantle democracy.

He doesn’t care about his approval ratings, only in his unfettered ability to wreak chaos.

Hopefully the midterms will help put the brakes on some of that, but much of the damage will have been done.
