Trump is ramping up again and making noise about conspiracies and taking back the White House...

As an ex-President, is he more or less powerful than when he was first campaigning?

I get the feeling that the way he is going, there are tons of defamation lawsuits headed his way. Democrats and establishment Republicans take him seriously enough to be driven to take him down at any cost now, and he no longer has the protection of the presidency or a friendly attorney general
