What Trump did is skip a step - speed this all up by appointing these Justices
Oh, I missed that. What step did he skip?
I misspoke - he is in the process of skipping a step. We all know where this is going to end up so by appointments he made, he is streamlining this process.
I'll believe it when I see it.
Oh, I missed something then. How does this streamline the process?
the Supreme court can only act in an advisement role to the lower courts - kinda what happened in Gore/Bush when the Supreme Court advised Florida to do certain things which later certified their results (electors).
There is still a pathway to victory.

That isn't what happened in Bush v Gore. They did not advise Florida, they stayed the recount and then determined that the lack of uniform standards for counting ballots would violate the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. Since no alternative method could be established before the certification deadline, they let current count stand.
Trump does not assign justices to circuits. The Supreme Court is literally the most autonomous branch of government - on purpose.
Victory is overturning the will of the people? Another interesting use of language. Regardless, there is no pathway to "victory". The states will certify their results, the electors will meet, the vote will be certified, and Biden will be inaugurated on January 20th.
