The Unlikely Pleading of Trump in His Criminal Act Trial for the January 6 Insurrection

As the Trump legal team prepares for the impending trial regarding the January 6, 2021, insurrection, speculation abounds on what strategy they might employ. Many have speculated about the viability of an insanity plea. However, it is highly unlikely that Donald Trump will opt for such a plea, given his character and public declarations.

A Hypothetical Insanity Plea Scenario

If we were to delve into the unlikely scenario of Trump pleading insanity, we can see potential manifestations of this strategy:

Divine Infallibility Declaration: Emphasizing his special status, Trump might declare himself infallible. He has already made such claims, stating that he believes himself to be the Chosen One. Transmutation of Urine to Wine: Drawing from religious metaphors, he could claim to have performed a miracle by turning his urine into wine, suggesting divine intervention. Walking on Water Demonstration: Despite likely failing the attempt, Trump's supporters might continue to believe in his success, affirming his divine abilities.

While such tactics are unlikely to sway judges or juries, they could potentially create a showman-like spectacle, delaying proceedings and potentially garnering media attention.

Psychological Profile: A Malignant Narcissist

Donald Trump's behavior and public statements indicate a pronounced malignant narcissistic personality. This trait renders him unlikely to plead insanity, as:

Claiming Weakness: For a narcissist, claiming insanity would be seen as a significant admission of weakness, contrary to their self-perception of invincibility. Control and Manipulation: A narcissist like Trump thrives on control and manipulation. An insanity plea would be counterproductive, as it would relinquish control to the justice system.

Furthermore, his legal counsel is reportedly concerned about Trump's inability to recognize when to keep his mouth shut, indicating a potential lack of real insight into his own actions.

Confinement and Legal Consequences

Even if an insanity plea were to be made, it would likely be rejected due to the constitutional presumption of competence. In the event that Trump is found competent, the next step is to face the legal consequences of his actions. One suggestion from some sources is to confine him to a secure environment:

Double Wide Rubber Room at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba: This metaphorical confinement would represent a secure, highly monitored area where Trump would have limited interaction with the outside world. No Escape: The key would be lost, symbolizing that once inside, there is no exit.

The purpose of such confinement would be to ensure that Trump is held accountable for his actions without the possibility of further public disruption. Once found guilty, he would face the severe consequences of justice, including a long prison sentence.

Conclusion

In conclusion, while the idea of Donald Trump pleading insanity for his actions on January 6, 2021, is intriguing, it is highly improbable due to his psychological profile and legal strategies. The more likely courses of action involve facing the legal system and accepting the full consequences of his actions.
