IANAL, but Trump could possibly end all of his legal woes if he submitted to an assessment, and then allowed his lawyers to plead diminished capacity. The assessment would be necessary as proof of said diminished capacity, which I'm pretty sure would be found (I already posted about seeing dementia first-hand).

Though I'm not sure how much diminished capacity would be required. He isn't as far gone as my mother was before she died, but he's definitely on the path (IMO). Is it enough to be judged incompetent to stand trial? Could his lawyers use that (against his will) to protect him from himself?
