It isn't 'giving up'. It's a tactical advance to the rear.

And give up his rallies? Nope, won't happen. Also, he'd lose his cult members because a personality cult dies if the leader disappears. Finally, continuing his grift may well be his main source of income and that would dry up right away if he turns tail and runs off.

I wonder if there is any consideration of state and local election officials suing Trump for defamation. Since they are public officials, as I understand it, they would have to prove actual malice or a reckless disregard for the truth to prevail, but I think that Trump's conduct has been egregious enough that this might not be an insurmountable barrier.
Texas announced on Tuesday that it would be filing a lawsuit in the Supreme Court against four battleground states in an effort to halt presidential electors from finalizing President-elect Joe Biden's victory.
Texas argued that electors from Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin should not be allowed to cast their votes in part because those states unconstitutionally changed their voting procedures during the coronavirus pandemic to allow for increased mail-in ballots. Biden won all four states.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) alleges that the new voting processes in the battleground states skewed the presidential election results and asked the Supreme Court to delay Monday's deadline for the Electoral College to make Biden's victory official.
"Their failure to abide by the rule of law casts a dark shadow of doubt over the outcome of the entire election," Paxton said in a statement. "We now ask that the Supreme Court step in to correct this egregious error.”

I don't know if the elected officials or political appointees can do it, but in a few cases there have been specific allegations against specific individuals, even if those individuals were not named. I know that Dominion, the company, strongly suggested that lawsuits were a possibility when they penned their response to Sidney Powell's charges, and the wording was such that it seemed likely that Donald Trump would be personally a target for those suits.
I think they have a very strong case, especially if they can show any hint that it is affecting or is likely to affect their sales.
No--that establishes a precedent that, frankly, extreme right types have been picking at--they want to be able to revoke citizenship if a person is "bad" brown enough.
One amusing scenario: Trump lands AF1 in some Trump-friendly but US-unfriendly country. They then deny AF1 permission to take off, and block the runways.
I suppose the US could drone strike AF1 in hopes of denying this country access to its top secret infrastructure, but even the wreckage would probably be useful, and the optics of this would still be horrible.
In these unprecedented times, who are we to stand in the way of one more unprecedented action? Revoke his citizenship, and let him argue his case from the Middleofnowherestan.
