According to the Rev. Al Sharpton — a longtime acquaintance of Donald Trump going back 40 years — the former president is reeling under the weight of a flood of civil lawsuits, adverse judgments and criminal prosecutions.
What's more, said Sharpton, Trump knows he will never get out from under them unscathed.
During an appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," Sharpton was asked whether Trump "seems to be, frankly, even more unhinged by the day."
Sharpton said this perception of Trump was likely accurate.
"I think we must realize that Donald Trump is running not only for the nomination and then for the presidency, he's running to try and convince four juries not to vote him into being a felon," Sharpton explained.

"So the idea that he would somehow be disciplined when he is literally fighting for his freedom, this election to him is about him not going to jail," he continued. "This is not about him going to the White House, this is about saying, 'If I get in, they'll have to delay state trials, he hopes, and pardon himself on a federal trial."
"He is going to remain unhinged because he is, for the first time I think, very frightened that it could all be over," he concluded.
