Well, the sad part is that they keep trying until something sticks.

It's not absurd if the grift keeps working. He sues companies that he knows want something from the government and they, in turn, readily donate millions of dollars to him.

He's also immune from prosecution for anything he does in his "official capacity" and the DOJ has already demonstrated they're willing to claim everything, even things done in years he wasn't President, are in his official capacity. There will never be 2/3rds of the Senate willing to remove him from office and the Supreme Court is very ready to give him almost anything.

It's all a con with no downside for him -- and he can just pardon his hangers-on for anything they might do to aid him. Heck, Biden (and maybe others before him) set a precedent for pre-emptive pardons, so I expect we'll be seeing "anything you did while I was in office" pardons here soon.

They believe that he is saving them from an existential threat and everything he does is justified because of that, it's quite terrifying. Quite similar to what's being taught in Russia actually.

They also like it because he is bully and he is their bully, so it's fun to watch him hurt their perceived enemies. Its very, very sad.
