I confess to back pedaling into Trump territory when I wanted to leave discussions about him in the garbage can. My thread on the read-only break room site has 9,600 replies so I thought I'd bring up a new one.
He's not going away.
Haberman's book is out based on interviews. I won't read it, but the excerpts are interesting. Especially what he says about McConnell, a description that's against the Terms of Service here, but I actually don't disagree with. LOL

“At one point, Trump made a candid admission that was as jarring as it was ultimately unsurprising. ‘The question I get asked more than any other question: “If you had it to do again, would you have done it?”’Trump said of running for president. ‘The answer is, yeah, I think so. Because here’s the way I look at it. I have so many rich friends and nobody knows who they are.’ … Reflecting on the meaning of having been president of the United States, his first impulse was not to mention public service, or what he felt he’d accomplished, only that it appeared to be a vehicle for fame, and that many experiences were only worth having if someone else envied them.”
What is the current criteria for ordering and conducting cognitive tests on our patients? Is Trump having his cognitive formally evaluated more often than annually? Wouldn't that be needed if he was receiving some kind of treatment that is expected to affect cognition in the elderly? Should we know the answers to those questions?

It doesn't matter what his cognitive exam shows. He can only be removed from office by death, or invoking the 25th Amendment, that requires agreement by a majority of the cabinet, or impeachment. He is still useful, so ain't nobody gonna remove him. I predict he will die before anyone attempts to remove him.

Of course we should know the answers to those questions, because people have been alarmed over the delayed public disclosure of very serious conditions kept under wraps while that person was still in office, and the American people deserve to know if the person they elected has a mental or physical impairment that could affect the performance of the duties of that office.
There seemed to be a consensus on that policy, probably because it was the best choice for the governance of the country as a whole.
Trump isn't concerned about that. Trump is concerned about Trump. He's surrounded by concentric rings of loyalists and sycophants including many in the media, who frankly don't seem to think his behavior is all that bad. They continue to do things like put Stephen Miller on TV when they know ahead of time exactly what he's going to say.
Stonewalling and spouting one absurd lie after another is what he will continue to do, because it works for him.
Welp, it looks like the old guy requiring serial scans and cognitive tests to monitor his decline has killed Venezuelan civilians and kidnapped the country's president.
