Candidate Trump’s claims keep hurting defendant Trump
washingtonpost.com
Highlights:
As prosecutors and lawyers for Donald Trump spar over the former president’s public statements, Trump the candidate keeps saying things that could hurt Trump the defendant’s chances in court.
Some of Trump’s public statements have already gotten him in legal hot water, with a partial gag order issued in a civil business fraud trial that is underway in New York, and a hearing Monday on a broader possible gag order in Trump’s D.C. criminal case.
Lawyers said such public declarations are deeply damaging to his defense, as he regularly appears to admit, on video, to particular elements of the crimes he is accused of committing.

I mean this is a guy that bragged about taking a dementia test. A more reasonable politician would have said something like: "now that that is done we can end the personal attacks and talk about this part of my agenda". It is entirely expected that this would happen.
I remember he bragged about how the last question was so difficult, but he got it right. Then, I looked up the question and it was something like "what's today's date."
Meanwhile, he's telling his rally attendees that he's running against Obama, that Biden will start WW2, and that he beat Obama in 2016. He's also telling nonsensical stories about driving electric cars into lakes and choosing electrocution over being eaten by crocodiles.
If Trump were a normal guy, his kids would be taking him on a "special car ride" to stay in a "lovely facility" which could take care of him.
And kept bringing it up when the media was ready to move on too!
Eaten by a shark, actually. It's one of his major phobias.
Like the fuckster would ever get in the water.
I had a client who became largely nonverbal, violent, and seemingly experiencing a persistent psychotic episode, characterized by bizarre behavior such as pooping in a water glass on his nightstand, throwing used depends in one roommate's clothing hamper while using the other roommate's closet as a urinal, and of course smearing feces on the walls.
I took him to multiple neurology appointments before his guardian moved him to a skilled nursing facility due to his behavioral issues, but the neurologist was unable to find any answers while the client was still on my caseload. But.. this client passed the test trump brags about...
It really baffled me that the client passed with flying colors, but he did. So every time trump brags about passing this test, I just think to myself: "Congratulations! You've proved you're at least on the same level as someone who smears their shit on the walls!"
