We’re all handwaving away your assurances because they are all about things that CAN happen in a world where people are following the rules and things work like they should. A world that no longer exists.
You’re missing the point. Trump doesn’t do his own dirty work. His little underlings will be the ones going to jail.
When they do, I’ll come back to acknowledge I was wrong. In the meantime, I’m not holding my breath. 4 years of that was enough.

My point is that nothing that happened with Trump over the course of four years that gives me ANY confidence regarding how the system will work now. (see 34 felonies case)
Your “well okay, Trump is above the law, but the folks below him might not be” is not the confidence builder you seem to think it is. When folks start going to jail (and staying there) I’ll share your enthusiasm.
Edit: And it doesn’t count if they are going to jail after we’ve reached the “rebuilding our nation from rubble” stage.
