Trump doesn’t know how to shut up, and he has no intention to. That may play to his base, but it very well might destroy his case in court. Monday night’s interview with Fox’s Bret Baier was a doozy. I walk through two big admissions, in today’s piece. https://statuskuo.substack.com/p/trump-was-just-laid-baier?sd=pf
Trump Was Just Laid Baier

Fox anchor Bret Baier did something unexpected on Monday night: He eviscerated Donald Trump. In a wide-ranging first part of a two-part interview, Baier surprised critics by actually asking hard-hitting questions of the former president, which Trump then stumbled over badly. In response, Trump produced word salads, non sequiturs, deflections, and, importantly, some key admissions that could expose him further in his federal criminal case, now pending in the Southern District of Florida.

Wow.
I fully expect TFG to grossly violate the protective order the judge in his case just imposed, but I'm beginning to think that will be small potatoes compared to his on-camera self-incrimination.

Surely his lawyers are begging him to STFU?

@Sedunker @hugh @jaykuo The only lawyers he tolerates are spineless yes-men who will support every decision he makes, including (let's hope) the decision to take the stand.

No wonder no reputable lawyer wants to deal with him.

At this point, the prosecution will just need to roll in a TV set and hit play and win the case.

@jaykuo I’m still betting on him instigating a revolt, and/or fleeing to Russia

@jaykuo after reading the reason Trump gave for not returning the boxes, that they also contained personal items. Made me think “I wonder if Trump has ADHD?” As having a pile of unsorted boxes seems a very ADHD thing to do.

In My Professional Opinion, Trump Could Use An ADHD Specialist

The question now, from a clinical standpoint, is whether Donald Trump has finally hit the wall. Has he finally come up against a moment where his underlying ADHD is going to betray him and lead him to one of the most colossal failures in the history of presidential politics?

@johngbell95 @jaykuo He’s lazy and disorganised. No need to pathologist that. We already know he has a plethora of diagnoses which make him utterly unsuitable for being an elected official

@jaykuo Trumps defense was never legal, but always political. "I could shoot somebody in the street and not lose voters". It will be interesting how this will turn out.

@jaykuo Apparently, Trump has a very unique item organization and storage system, "hoarder riche."
