Actually, I don't think he's mentally ill. I think it's all part and parcel of his shtick, sick, yes, dangerous, yes, but incredibly lucrative. Same as Rush, same as Trump, etc. Among the Trump Pets, there are a few who actually believe the lies, but the rest of them - the ones who seemed to have brains in the past, they know damn well the election was legitimate but they see power and lots of cash. Now, their true believers, the "deplorables" - the ones who send them money and dote on every word - they're divided between the ones soaking it for every penny they can and ones looking for payback for every real or imagined slight done to them.
In my Big Book of Humans, Jones is in the chapter on evil. There's even a pic - darting, unable-to-look-at-you eyes, all red in the face, mouth agape. Where compassion is located in typical human - heart? brain? both together? -these parts of Jones are full of $$$ lust, engorged ego, revenge. All the money and attention in the world will not bring a good night's sleep, the connection of family and friends, love of life. And I sure would like to see him do some jail time for perjury.

Wow! You just described what I've long thought about TFG himself. And some of his minions. And possibly Mitch and some of his cronies.
Ditto. Times 10 to the 10th.
