Alone 

 President Trump is largely alone in the Oval Office.  Subordinates and friends have abandoned him after the Capitol Hill assault.  They are looking out for themselves or are morally convinced that what happened was sparked by the President and was insurrection.  Trump, like King Lear, is left with anger and rage and no one to voice it to.  The debacle that he instigated will go down in the country's history as will his double impeachment.  There is little he can do once he leaves office to turn around the public's dismissal of him.  Yes, he does have millions of supporters left, but those opposed to him are larger in number and voting power.  And, there has been some erosion of allegiance since the riot.  He depended on the big lie to communicate to his supporters, and it blew up.  He deserves his isolation, but he doesn't understand that.  Fortunately for him, there are only a few days left of his Presidency, and he can sink out of sight for awhile and ponder what he needs to do.  Contrition might be a good place to start but he appears to be beyond that.
