What happens when neurodivergence and mental illness act as a shield from accountability? How are Trump’s insane tariffs being challenged not only politically in the Senate and soon the house, but also the courts? We’re tackling both of these questions this week over at The Big Picture. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/week-big-picture-april-9

I've always argued against calling #Trump mentally ill, or demented.

For one thing, we have no evidence. His behavior could be caused by drug abuse, or any of a number of other causes. Diagnosing people we've never met is something we rightly criticize Republicans for. See: #TerriSchiavo.

More important, there's no reason to give Trump an insanity defense in court. If he's going to claim he's mentally ill, let him prove it. Until then, he's just an evil man.
