It is very visible from Trump's conduct that he is hurt by his impeachment.
He is lashing out with insults and slander and doubling down on his lies.
Meantime his Rudi Giuliani gambit appears to be a loser because if Rudi had anything it would already be blazing on Fox News headlines.
Trump is fearful and frantic that GOP senators will turn on him. Donald Trump doesn't trust any GOP lawmaker, even his most vocal supporters.

Has dirty Donald hit the wall? Will Donald Trump have a 'Brutus' to deliver the coup de grace?

That was true when he was a young real estate developer from Queens who felt he was looked down upon by “old money” rivals in Manhattan. And it’s true now, as he confronts the reality of impeachment, which will put a taint forever by his name in the history books.
Trump’s “focus when I first met him was on success. The second half of his life, he has spent trying to be significant,” said Omarosa Manigault Newman, who met Trump 16 years ago through the hit NBC show “The Apprentice” and went on to become a senior adviser to the president.
