Politico put it this way:

"The former president and the person that polls show is still the most likely GOP presidential nominee in 2024, today on Truth Social called for the suspension of the Constitution."

November 24: 9 months and nary a whisper
Feb 24 2023: a trickle of “one year since the invasion”
