Trump further predicted that he will not be convicted on the federal charges stemming from the documents case. He also stressed that he would not accept a plea deal unless he was presented one "where they pay me some damages."

Is this an attempt to set up an insanity defense?

Ahaha, love it.

In all honesty, I think that's just trump's typical salesman bluster. Help reinforce the idea he didn't do anything wrong etc.

Edit: Though now I'm thinking about it, maybe he does take a plea deal and just tells his supporters they paid him a settlement but the crooked Biden DOJ won't tell anyone about it etc...?
