Would it be beneficial for Trump to plead insanity to avoid prison time?

Doesn’t really work like that. You need to be rubber-room crazy to claim that, and all kinds of experts have to evaluate you before a court would permit that. He’s for sure got crazy problems with narcissism, but I don’t think he has psychosis or anything.

Trump supporters must be crying.

He doesn't have to plead it, just listen to him.

Honestly: anyone who runs for president must be clinically insane XD.

I'm guessing that the media is just claiming that without any factual basis as they always do.

being clinically insane doesn't at all prevent punishment. Like even if what the media said is true about him claiming insanity. Everyone who has a little bit of background knowledge knows that you don't avoid punishment at all that way.

Just instead of going to prison, you'll go to a closed mental facility, which is the same as prison except there's therapists and Psychopharmaka involved. And I'd argue it's even harder to get out of a mental asylum than out of prison.

The difference between Trump and Biden is that the sum total of Trumps mis speaks were just shown in less than a minute. With Joe Biden it would take a half a day to show them and I am sure there have been many that never made the 6 o'clock news

Insanity isn't something you can claim at any point you want. You have to have particularily severe diagnosis, and basically experience psychosis during the time of crime. You're evaluated by psychiatrists, and if they deem you to understand what you're doing, you're unable to plead insanity.

Taking MSNBC's partisan bullshit seriously qualifies as insanity. It's propaganda for loyal, non-thinking dupes and Democrats, not news or information.

No, it would not.

[NamerOfStars]

No, but it WOULD be hilarious.
