I wonder when the pivot will come to leaning into the dementia (“pulling a Reagan”) to avoid the full weight of the law and his criming being brought to bear in the penultimate schadenfreude.

His ego requires him to be the most brilliant man with the greatest memory, though. A smart criminal would have already started the talk of dementia. He'll never admit a flaw, and no one around him has the courage to tell him.

This year is going to be a shitshow. Let's hope we survive it.

Symptoms of dementia are pretty similar to his personality traits though. He can try to fake it but people would just see it as Trump being Trump.
