He doesn't JUST have USSS Security 24x7; all former presidents do. I think that was signed into law by slick willy.
The thing I can't get over & why I think he actually is sitting POTUS, is that; from what I can tell, his motorcade is IDENTICAL to that of an actual Sitting POTUS, INCLUDING stuff like the USSS CAT Team; they're basically Secret Service SWAT. Those guys are always dressed in all-black, full-out war gear; no discretion there.
I do not believe any former presidents get a full CAT escort EVERYWHERE they go, AND the dozens / hundreds of cars that go in a full-blown sitting presidential motorcade.
I question the claim that the nuclear football is always with him.
Over the past 2+ years, I have seen ONE photo of Trump's entourage that raised a discussion about whether the bag was the nuclear football or something else.
OP makes a few claims, but I see little substance to a bunch of them. Joining the dots properly requires looking at and evaluating competing explanations, not just going with what seems to fit what you are thinking, and ignoring other possibilities.
I can't say, as I've been on a pretty strict media diet the past 1-2 years. Both intentional for my mental health, but also unintentional because I'm more focused on my family & work.
I've definitely seen with my own eyes, videos & photos of the USSS CAT, as I said, but not the football....but I haven't really looked.....
i agree; would be great to get more confirmation of the above points.
ETA:
I re-read this & here are my thoughts:
has full presidential motorcade with SS everywhere he goes
This is objectively true, including the USSS CAT team, which is most remarkable.
has the football with him everywhere he goes ( look for the guy always carrying it not far from him)
I can't say for sure on this....can anyone post links to photos / videos where you suspect someone holding The Football is with Trump?
goes to the speaker of the house to pass a bill, stands behind him
Trump has been extremely unusually active in national & global politics since "leaving office."
It is true that Trump regularly meets with most / all significant govt. officials from around the globe......
moves with impunity around the US
This is true.
never conceded 2020
Also true.
activated insurrection act before he "left office"
This is not 100% knowable unless you are extremely close to POTUS or involved at the highest levels of govt, but there was a very good case made that Trump did in fact activate the insurrection act prior to leaving office. I remember that.
ALL the important EOs have remained and been extended
on and on and on.
This is also 100% true...... I'm not aware of any significant Trump EO's that have been rescinded / cancelled by the usurper xi-den.
Just to pick an important nit:

Here' this gives you some basic idea of it: https://people.howstuffworks.com/presidential-motorcade.htm
But wait; he DOES still have an aide with the football with him all the time???? REALLY?????? How is that not constantly discussed here????????
That seals the deal 1,000,000%; TRUMP IS THE SITTING PRESIDENT if he ALSO has the nuclear football that can launch freakin' nuclear weapons!!!!
So....yeah......I agree with all the rest of your post, 1000%. :-)
