if he faces jail time, he will seek asylum in russia and live in luxury, and pootie will have him continue to wreak havoc on our country from a distance. he will tell everyone that life is better in russia because there are no democrats and liberals trying to destroy the country

Planes need takeoff clearance and fuel.
Park a black Bronco in front of the nose wheel or some such similar position, and the plane isn't going anywhere.

But seriously

Sadly.
Bernardo de La Paz
(60,320 posts)If I understand it, the standard is something like "can the defendant assist in their defence and comprehend what is happening to them?"
That requires a diagnosis of severe and profound dementia. His ego won't play along with pretending that. He has "senior moments" kind of dementia, covfefe dementia, but I don't think anyone says it is on track to profound dementia.
Merely having gaps in long term memory is not a bar. Defendants say "I don't recall" many times.
