Trump says 'war hawk' Liz Cheney should be fired upon in escalation of violent rhetoric against his opponents

39. I'm no longer sure he belongs in prison (please hear me out before piling on, lol).

He absolutely needs to be locked up, but I think he belongs in a maximum-security forensic psychiatric hospital, rather than a regular prison, because he clearly has a terminal psychiatric disease (dementia) that requires medical treatment and will only get worse until he dies.

Yes, he's committed serious crimes, and he was capable of understanding what he was doing at the time he did those things, but he is going to reach a point where he will no longer be capable of comprehending what he did wrong or why he should be punished, and he is already at a stage where his behavior and ability to function even semi-independently are deteriorating as we speak. We don't know how much help he already needs to perform the activities of daily living (i.e. dressing and feeding himself, bathing, going to the bathroom, etc.), but whatever level he's at now, it's just a matter of time before he becomes incapable of doing anything for himself.

I know some will probably think I'm being too "soft" on him, but I don't really care. He has a terminal disease that has already robbed him of much of his cognitive ability as well as his ability to control his own behavior, and it's eventually going to rob him of his ability to do anything for himself at all. What I'm suggesting is not just for his benefit, but for the befit of the staff of whatever prison he would otherwise be sent to. Person guards can't be expected to feed him, dress him, and change his diapers when he's no longer able to do those things for himself. That's not in their job description or their expected skill set. To me, it just makes sense to send him directly to a facility that is equipped to handle those things and to administer the medical care he is going to require eventually. He'll never get out out, because he'll never get better, and he won't like it any more he would like being on a prison cell.

To anyone who thinks he's faking all of this stuff in order to avoid going to jail, I have this to say: poppycock. He isn't nearly smart enough to engineer all of this, and the idea of of him being willing to publicly admit that he's defective in any way is laughable. He'll probably continue to insist that he's a "very stable genius to the bitter end.
