One of the defining features of fascists is being entirely self-serving. The only reason one would go down fighting is if it were his best option (i.e. if generalissimo would purge him anyway if he didn’t).
In other words, his lieutenants are flipping because Trump is still acting more like a two-bit con-artist than a ruthless dictator. I would say that’s a good thing, but I think it’s more just a reminder of how much worse we can still expect it to get soon.
