Congress is going to declare Biden the winner on Wednesday. So Trump will be out of even the most remote and bizarre options for trying to overturn the election.
What will he do with his last 14 days?
There will certainly be more pardons.
There may be further efforts to tie things up in knots to confound the next administration, but nothing that can stick unless he can get Congress to pass something.
Will the Republicans in Congress continue to sell the country out for whatever he wants?
He will either retreat into terminal sulking, or explode into infantile rage. But what else could happen?

“End game” implies he has/had a plan at all.

Loser Donald hasn’t had a plan for the last five years. Why start now?

Agreed; he’s just going to do whatever pops into his mind at the moment.

Send his children out to go collect the Infinity Stones while he sits on his fat ass like he has been doing since he invaded New York and plastered his name in gold letters on any building people would permit him.
“I am _inevitable!_”
“And I am…Joe Biden.”
(Actually, one solid whack with a hammer and Trump go home, whining on Twitter.)

I get the feeling that whatever it is, things will get ugly starting on 1/6.

It looks like his end game is to call secretaries of state and beg them to lie about the voting results in their states. He’s brilliant, ain’t he? The loser.

It’s the last possible day on which he can promise to do something “in two weeks”.

Trump will surprise everyone and show up for Biden’s inauguration. When it’s time for Biden to take the oath, Trump will walk over and shove Biden out of he way, just like he did to the NATO diplomate a few years ago.

The only thing he’s sure to do is fundraising.

What I meant was that Trump and his supporters are likely to move on from the promising to do something phase into the actually doing something phase. Exactly what, I don’t know. These are unprecedented times. But the looming deadline will probably force some sort of action.

His game is to create chaos. He thrives on it, and will continue to attempt to be as disruptive as possible. He will likely exhort his more rabid followers to rise up in some fashion, which will mean people in large trucks driving through the streets of Portland and shooting people with paintball guns. Should this come to pass, there will likely be violent confrontations in some cities.

One thing he’s apparently planning to do is [give Jim Jordan and Devin fucking Nunes the Medal of Freedom](https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/03/politics/donald-trump-medal-of-freedom/index.html).

He will continue tying to convince the world that the election was stolen and that “somebody should do something!”. He won’t incite the Proud Boys to burn down Capital Hill, but the dog whistles will be blaring. He will be holed up in the White House, surrounded by family and other sycophants, until the very end. He will leave triumphantly with much fanfare. His adoring fans will cheer him as he boards the helicopter for the flight to Mar-a-Lago, tweeting the entire way, and promising to be back in 4 years to save the country once again from socialism.
