Exactly this. I've been trying to find a transcript of Trump from last night, as it's just totally nuts, but the press, especially led by the US press, behave like this isn't an insane old man babbling on with whatever thoughts come into his head.
It's worth following Aaron Rupar on Bluesky, as he tweets these things out live, and most of the time you just think "WTF?!"

And he *still* hasn't grasped the different meanings of 'asylum'. His brain is mush.

This is actually an interesting round-up of Trump's tactic of scapegoating.
https://www.jandehn.com/post/scapegoating-a-la-trump
"For Trump, scapegoating is all about deflection and obfuscation. Trump understands, or perhaps he just senses that fixing society's real ills is far too politically taxing and technically challenging. Besides, it takes a lot of time to do good and the rewards are not immediate. Trump wants instant reward and he wants the reward for himself. Scapegoating does exactly that by producing juicy headlines that at the same time deflect attention away from society’s broader problems. As such, scapegoating complements his efforts to gut government departments, weaken education, defund science and research, and discourage independent journalism.
Scapegoating requires a constant supply of fresh targets Trump can blame for mounting failures and society's festering problems. Fortunately for Trump, one of his greatest talents, perhaps his only talent, is to identify such targets. He is simply excellent at finding the most vulnerable and then destroying them, a skill he may have acquired, honed, certainly, in his Epstein days, when he regularly raped defenceless children. In this regard, Trump was lucky to be born in the USA, which, among OECD countries, has the lowest level of empathy and places the highest value on individual success over wider societal well-being. These factors make it possible to crush many vulnerable groups before enough people get upset and try to put a stop to proceedings."

Another view.
Donnie wasn't "lucky" to be born in the US system. He is a result of the US system.

Only the stupidest of the stupid could not foresee the potential economic consequences of this. Now he's back pedalling because the Republicans are probably putting on the pressure as the stock markets sink and gas prices rise*.Maybe even the malignant autistic tech boys are chucking their toys out of their prams because of chip ingredient scarcity**.
*To $5 a gallon (US Gallon 3.8litres, eq. 98p per litre) but still, they haven't got a clue.

Surely sanctionable on that alone?

I assume you mean 'sectionable'. Not sure what terminology they use in America for that, but it's way past 25th Amendment time at least, even if they don't forcibly detain him for his own safety.
