Can Judge Merchon ask for a psych evaluation and drug test if TFG keeps up his "antics" ?

Trump definitely doesn't act like a sane adult !

No judge is going to order a psych eval on an ex-president, or drug tests for that matter.

I for one have had more than I can stand of this very spoiled human. I can not believe the judge did not make it clear that TSF was responsible for jury tampering. We are drowning in slow motion. I would say the water is chest high right now. There is an opinion that the Secret Service detail is not a reason to bar him from jail. He needs a reality check, and soon or we may as well set him free and let him finish the job!

I don't think most psychologists want to touch this case with a ten foot pole.
If Judge Merchan's office calls they are not going to pick up the phone.

To show he's not competent to stand trial? If not that, then what?
And is having Trump committed -- which is an unlikely result of a psych exam in this case -- just stops the trial cold. I don't think that would be a good thing.
