Although he's famously disloyal to even his most loyal of subordinates, his demands for total loyalty have escalated with fewer interested in staying in the club. The greatest disgrace in Washington is not death, it's losing an election and Trump is learning that now.
Some will still be fiercely loyal, including members of Congress, because their political survival depends on it. But even his formerly most loyal of underlings, most notably the two Michaels, Pence and Pompeo, are easing toward the exits.
Trump is emotionally more fragile with each passing day and irrational but is there a danger he'll do something extreme? I don't think so. He might try something wacky, but there are enough people within arms reach of him who will stand in the way of something recklessly dangerous to the country.
Every time the subject comes up about Trump's frantic efforts to stay in office, the reason why becomes ever more obvious: because he's terrified of a criminal prosecution and financial ruin.
