He's going for an insanity defense! That's my story

and I'm sticking to it.

He is just getting more out of control daily.

But this Jewish mess up is just totally insane. Why on earth did he start that fire?

He won't ever kill himself. He's probably not going to die.
I doubt he tries to run.

Insanity would keep him out of court and out of prison.

He talked about he’s the best thing that ever happened to Israel, and that American Jews are -so- ungrateful. ::eye roll::

Here’s a link to a Twitter post with a picture of the whole thing, courtesy of The Rude Pundit:

these atrocious attacks on just about everyone? Hourly some days. There is no one left for him to attack.

American Jews are not taking this well but they probably aren't fans of his anyway.

because he could not stand to be a 2 time loser.

And he can't declare his run because that would cut off his grift of millions from his base.

normal standards. They are just dicks. They don't want any of their money wasted on immigrants or other than white nationalities. And they want everyone to do it their way because they are absolutely right about everything.

I live in Missouri. We do have more than our share of redneck motherfuckers.

There are no Republicans who care one tiny bit about anything but being elected and re-elected. Yes, they can get all excited about being in power but there is not one single thing I could say about them that would describe them better than you just did. They ARE just dicks.

response to the J6 subpoena was just more proof that he is completely off his rocker. I guess it was just 14 pages of nonsense.

He didn’t write it himself.

While it was full of his normal talking points, it was 14 pages of correct grammar, syntax, and no random capitalization.

No way he did it all himself, even full of Adderall.

then they can say- well, we just didnt notice daddy was losing his marbles. he was like he always was, just a bit extra.
boom, everyone has cover.

his records at reed give him a perfect diminished capacity defense, esp after covid.
expect the spawn to date their concern to after his hospital stay.

saying he was the greatest president in history, we need another like him, and so on.

I want him convicted of the crimes he committed while president and in prison. And I want his fans to know he was a criminal.

The problem with Trump is he thinks cheating to win is a legitimate way to win. He's been that way his whole life, and he's proud of it. There are millions of people like this. We have all known people like this in our lives. Today we call them Trump voters. And not convicting Trump and putting him in prison legitimizes that thought process. It will ruin this country if we let him get away with this shit.

under the rocks they crawled out from.

Those people hace been around forever. They've just never had a platform like this. But the media is just making them look awful. They have to be catching on to the fact that everyone is making fun of them.

I had run ins with these people in the '60s. Same people. Same stupid stuff and super racist.

Following his tried and trusted playbook of doubling down when things look grim.

And things are grim now - probably the worst in his selfish life. Expect more of this.

A psych professional can determine if someone has a disorder or illness of the mind. A court determines whether the illness interferes with the moral reasoning ability to possess the requisite level and type of culpable intent.

Trump is aware of his lies, and he is aware of the moral status of his lies. He also fears the consequences of their exposure as lies.
