If you're a piece of shit corrupt politician, he's a godsend. He's loud and distracting, corrupt as hell, doesn't give a fuck about any sort of ethics as long as he's getting his, plus he's dumb as shit and has a massive ego. The amount of mid-level corruption you can get away with while everyone's looking at Trump has to be insane, and all you have to do is chuck him a wad of cash or tell him he's great once or twice a year.
They're going to prop him up for as long as they can, make out like bandits and when his cholesterol finally catches up to him and he dies, they'll all scuttle off back into the woodwork and in ten years you won't be able to find anyone who admits to having supported him at all.
I had a lesbian friend tell me one time that spaghetti is only straight till it gets wet... and then you boil it for like 11 minutes. So I guess what I'm trying to say is... I think I have a plan

Because the people in charge of straightjackets want this.

No, that’s not it.
They don’t want him removed until he has served two years, otherwise Vance would only be eligible for one more term.

And risk losing the power given to them by Trump?

Because, much like the great philosopher Dexter Holland once opined, shit is fucked up.

Because he's secretly gay. A straightjacket would be ineffective.

There is no legal process that can be invoked by the people who want to straight jacket him.

there is no legal process or even basis for 3/4 of the stuff tRump is doing... that does not seem to stop him one bit

Well Trump knows the law isn't real, his opposition acts like it is.
