Has anyone considered that tRump is setting up a case for incompetence.

[Grammy23]

Why? So when they try to charge him with a sh*t ton of crimes he can claim he is not fit to stand trial until he is rehabilitated. Only he never plans to get rehabilitated.

It is all an act to help him avoid being held accountable.

Could it be that simple?

[SheltieLover]

1. Perhaps, in part.

I refuse to refer to his bs as dementia for this reason.

He knows EXACTLY what he is doing.

[Hoyt]

2. Doubt there will ever be any federal charges for actions taken in office. There is no way to

impanel a jury that won't have a few trumpsters to hang it. Prosecutors know that, and Biden won't stand for it either, unless something new comes out.

Maybe some state will go after him for taxes or something. I'll be satisfied to watch him die a pitiful old man who could have done something good for the world, but decided to play up to ignorant white wing hatred.

8. I agree with you.

[Thekaspervote]

9. Yes, a pitiful old man totally flat busted broke

[HelpImSurrounded]

3. I've thought of this

I'm not sure his narcissism would allow him to do this.

[uppityperson]

4. No. He is simply incompetent narcissist

[abqtommy]

15. +100 I totally agree!

[Doreen]

5. I thought there were mental institutions that held

mentally ill people that committed horrible crimes until they could stand trial or keep them for their and societies saftey?

[tulipsandroses]

6. He's incompetent indeed. Incompetent to be president. But not in a legal sense.

It would never work. The bar is set very high to meet incompetence in a legal sense.

[Thekaspervote]

7. I've been saying that for weeks- even b4 his covid dx that his defense will be mentally and or

Physically unfit to stand trial. I get no response..no one wants to hear that and I don’t blame them, I don’t either.

I take solace in the fact that his kids may very well go to prison.

[Aristus]

10. I think there are legitimate grounds for incompetence.

But not the kind to keep him from facing charges...

[Dem2theMax]

11. I honestly don't believe his ego would allow him to do this.

I can't see him ever admitting to any kind of weakness or failure. I don't think he's capable of it.

[RiverbendsJoe]

12. Mental Incapacity is NOT a defense against federal Conspiracy charges.

It can only be used as a mitigating factor in sentencing - NOT used to evade trial on otherwise provable charges.

13. If he were doing that, he would do it in a much more juvenile, obvious, and telegraphed way.

He never shows any level of complex planning in anything he does; it's far beyond his limited abilities.

[Wicked Blue]

14. I thought about that eafrlier in the day

I suppose eventually we will find out what's going on

[WyattKansas]

16. Hopefully the U.S. Government places a gag order on him until he is rehabilitated then...

And throws his ass in jail (not a country club jail) if he violates his gag order like his buddy Roger Stone did. tRUMP can just work on his rehabilitation from jail until he get his shit together. If he is worried about his safety, then he is welcome to solitary confinement.
