Which of his trials constitute official presidential bis though?
The idea is to create a situation where it gets tied up in lower courts until after Trump is inaugurated again, at which point, everything Trump does is an official act, and he can't be held responsible for anything, while also leaving room fro the courts to hold Biden and future Democrats responsible for innocuous acts.
