Coming across as being too cognitively impaired (if not too insane) to stand trial on his remaining criminal and civil charges.

Where he would end up in a facility other than jail. But he also said they'd never do it. Is this now Plan B??

If this is an actual thing, Trump won't implement it until after he loses and VP Harris has been inaugurated.

It will be remarkable to see if Trump is tried and convicted and what will happen. I think the remnants of the Republican Party will distance themselves from Trump but not from MAGA.
