McGraw's vivid picture of Trump's days after leaving the White House is a striking contrast to his fortunes now, almost four years later. But back in January 2021 Trump had been 'cast aside by the general public' thanks to the January 6 insurrection, McGraw writes.

McGraw writes: 'Trump was wrapped in a world inside the walls of Mar-a-Lago that reinforced everything that Trump believed about himself. McGraw writes: 'Trump turned Mar-a-Lago into his own kind of Grauman's Chinese Theatre, with a red carpet, movie posters, Trump-branded champagne, popcorn and puff pastry hors d'oeuvres.
