Trump may not go on trial, but at the moment I think it's possible that if he doesn't go on trial and get convicted in these various Courts, he will run for president and defeat Joe Biden. Once again, Biden's disapproval rating is now worse than Trump's. The people of the USA are THAT crazy these days.
It now looks quite possible, even probable, that our current generations will blow our current 4T for the first time in Anglo-American history. If this happens, there will be no "forthcoming 1T". There won't even be a recovery. We will continue in a permanent 4T and the saeculum will end.
This will be kind of like Russia's and the Soviet Union's from 1894 to 1953, except that at least the Soviet Union had a quieter time following their long 4T, which itself lasted quite a while, although I would not call it a 1T, just stagnation. Gorbachev could be said to have ended this, but for Russians it just felt like the start of another 4T (or resumption of its un-ending 4T), which is still current, even though to us the Gorbachev era looked like a 2T.
