I think there's some truth insofar as trusting his "gut." Guts are supposed to break down that which nourishes. It's obvious he's abused his microbiome, the first "brain" of the human body and the 2nd one in his head now experiences the consequences of paranoia, delusions, and chaotic responses he can't adequately control nor the anxiety he's causing everyone else. He needs a major lifestyle change and he's "spending down" toward one of our finest institutions of self-entitlement, the Gitmo of his own making. An intervention under the rule of law RIGHT NOW seems imperative instead of living through the court intrigue of sources, resources, assets, just egging him to jump. Then what, "thoughts and prayers" for the family and friends, a few lonely few days of vigil and then a shallow fashion update on what the icy Queen Bee no more, the Princess, and the consort-babes-a-plenty might wear. Makes no sense; it just isn't right, Executive, Judicial, or Congressional (Committees), to me!

I bet he views them as getting in his way as he attempts to give the country to Putin.
