There is some rumbling that a few of "his people" convayed some realities to him in terms he actually understands: self preservation. Realities that some very powerful people spelled out in simple terms.
We heard the Article 25 speculation yesterday. There are some back channel rumors that he was told in clear terms: you can shut your mouth and play nice for two weeks, or you can be pushed aside and publicly declared incapable because of mental illness.
I want to be clear, these are rumors, but rumors from people who have in the past been pretty accurate. It is a rumor I can believe after McConnell and Graham's words. It is a rumor that seems to fit the Trump world view that Trumps ego and wellbeing surpass all other considerations.
If true, and if he agrees to behave (the comment about a peaceful transition just might be a first small sign), I truly don't know if he can keep is megalomania in check for that long. I can be hopeful at least.

He's not going to behave. He just
has to put his brand on his next venture. Just to fuck it up. Take the money and run.

His Brooklyn accent remains unchanged a full 28 years after he moved west, and he still carries the baggage of his violent rise through the ranks of the Gambinos under Gotti. The Dapper Don, convicted after Gravano’s testimony, died behind bars in 2002.
“Everybody has regrets,” reflects Gravano. “No matter what life you’re in, everybody who goes forward has some sort of regrets. Of course. I’m involved in a lot of murders. When I talk about it for my podcast, I actually relive it — and it nauseates me to a degree.”

This, of course, after he was already busted for MDMA distribution while in protective custody. Gravano has feelings of nausea. Dump has the empathy of the Red Dragon.
