Trump's best legal strategy might be to exaggerate the dementia to avoid criminal responsibility (if something like that is possible in state and/or federal courts).
Vincent "the chin" Gigante had some success with the bathrobe defense where he would be seen wandering around NY in his jammies and robe. One big difference is when he took over the family, he was a recluse. Trump is a narcissist.
Exactly. And the fact he is a Narcisit and vain to boot is exactly why he physically cannot stop running for president again.
His presidency is tainted. He knows it. he know that future generations will see that he will be marked down as a guy who was impeached twice. He cannot stand the camparison He knows he lost spectacularly in 2020. Everything he does is to try and make that go away, to stop people seeing that he is a loser.
Why do you think he never used the official presidency twitter? Its because he felt everyone would be comparing his tweets with the writings of other presidents, comparing his tweets to Obama#s. He knew he wouldn't look good by comparison. So he hid in his own account.
Narcissism is basically people making insane destructive attempts to stop people seeing that they are the loser that deep down they know they are. If you regard everything he does as not as an arrogant jerk, but as a man desperate to coverup his shortcomings and convince everyone they don't exist, it makes a lot more sense.
Plus. he knows that his rancid presidency run is the only reason people pay any attention to him anymore.
There probably are people around him desperate to see him quit this. But if they so much as whisper that idea to him he will explode. And when he loses this time he will run again, and again. If he stopped it would be admitting he is a small incompetent nobody, and that would mean mental self destruction.
