  1. The media is talking about this announcement more than the embezzlement, so he has used his announcement successfully.

  2. Parkinson's has a dementia element that he is trying to use as an excuse for why his "judgment lapsed." This is literally on its face bullshit simply because he can sit there and talk about it. If the dementia was that advanced, he would not be this coherent. He should have been torn to shreds in this hearing over exactly this.

  3. The worst people literally have zero scruples, so they feel no remorse hiding behind something like Parksinson's to justify and excuse their shitty behavior as somehow justified or not worth prosecuting. Always excuses, never able to take responsibility for anything at all ever. Trump really is their Id realized.

I constantly have to stop my Parkinson's-addled father from committing massive financial fraud.
