26. Jared *would* flip if they really had him

However, I think people are overestimating just how much criminality can be proven against Trump himself.

One of the advantages of being a mental invalid with the attention span of a flea is that it's really hard to put the necessary mental energy into actually breaking the law. Trump's entire MO is to surround himself with crooks who he can encourage to break the law on their own. Even if there are crimes he actually did commit himself, there's probably serious doubt that he knew -- or even had the capacity to know, given how impulsive and mentally defective he is -- that what he was doing was actually illegal.

Honestly, if his ability to plan and commit crimes was actually equal to his personal enthusiasm for criminal behavior, he'd have gone to jail long ago.
