A NY prosecutors decided to not indict tRump or his crimes because they would have to prove he wasn't legally crazy. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/mark-pomerantz-daily-beast-trump-legally-insane_n_63ddf2c6e4b0c2b49ae31147 What do you think? Later

I've been saying for years he's criminally insane. From Cornell Law School website: Criminal insanity refers to a mental illness or disease that makes it impossible for a defendant to know they were committing a crime or to understand that their actions are wrong. I mean, everything he does seems to be a crime and he thinks he's done nothing.

I think he knows he does wrong stuff. You don't keep Roy Cohn on retainer for nothing. But I'm pretty certain he is a megalomaniac, and does get off on getting away with it. It'd be tough holding that up as a defense.

I voted other. I Trump is a self centered, ego maniac that thinks he is far more intelligent than he truly is. Misguided and borderline delusional, but I don't think he is crazy.

At some point, there will be more books written about Trump than about any other president. Wonder when we'll hit that mark? It'll be pretty amazing because some of the other presidents have had a coupl'a hundred years headstart on him. Trump probably already has the record for most books written about a president during his term(s).

I guess that's what I meant by legally crazy.

I change the selection.

Thanks.

I couldn't find the link but there was an article I read a few days ago about recognizing pathological lying as a mental illness - thought that was appropriate here

He's not crazy, he's just America's worst person.

When I first went to Mexico City, where I am presently, at this same time of year in 2017, we were all freaked out about the crazy shit that was going down in those first weeks of the Trump Administration (the Muslim ban, etc). I met a guy who said "welcome to the rest of the world. Everywhere else a crazy person takes over for a while. We didn't necessarily think it would happen to you, but here we are."

i would like to see them force the trump team to posit as their defense that he might actually be crazy. not that it would actually matter to his cult followers, mind you.
