Some wags are out there insisting that he wants to bring things to a head to play the victim. But he’s genuinely just fucking stupid, and has not a single notion that he cannot craft reality. This is a stupidity that has deep, deep roots. Madness, too, of course, but mainly stupidity. He cheats in every aspect of his life, and cannot imagine that he can’t simply cheat his way through this. I’m still hoping that he get crushed by a falling frozen block of blue airplane toilet waste, but barring that, humiliation in the courtroom isn’t such a bad next step.
