It is the political system keeping him afloat. The medical system is not something they will allow to be utilized like that if he does not meet diagnostic criteria for holding. His choices are not healthy, but unless they arise out of a diagnosis severe enough to overcome the limits of the holding requirements plus the structural protections given to presidents and ex presidents then it simply won’t happen. It’s just a fantasy to pursue it.
