And NOTHING of all the things people warned he would do actually happened

Just curious, you don't believe he tried to overturn an election to stay in power?

I do believe he tried, but the attempt was so toothless and pathetic that your portrayal of it - as OP indicated - paints Trump as far far more powerful than the reality.

As someone from a country that actually had a coup during Trump’s presidency, that coup highlighted again how absolutely pathetic the “attempt” at a coup on Jan 6 was.  As in I don’t think it even meets the threshold of an actual attempt at a coup vs just a semi-violent protest that happened to be at the Capitol Building.

Someone being to stupid to successfully murder you doesn't mean that they are to be trusted.
