    Back before the election, Trump spoke about the fictional character Hannibal Lecter, at least twice, like he was a real person. Trump was never cognitively there!

      He kept talking about Hannibal Lecter because someone mentioned asylum for immigrants, and the only “asylum” he knows is an insane asylum.

      So he started talking about Hannibal Lecter every time he mentioned immigrants, equating them with insane cannibals who want to eat you.

      Before DJT had symptoms of his father’s Alzheimer’s, which is a decade since now since it has shown on TV, he was even back then, how he calls it, a low IQ individual. And a racist

    No shit, that’s why he signs whatever they put in front of him, and project 2025 has been followed almost to a T. He doesn’t give a crap about anything in project 2025. But he’s mentally in lala land and they’ve been hiding his declining health for a while.

    My brother in law, without skipping a beat: “obviously he meant Micronesia”

    My reply, apparently not enough to get a response: “So you’re okay with a president who’s so cognitively vacant he can’t tell the difference between two very different sounding words?”

    Man thought the Barbie movie was a documentary and is ready to nuke the country Mattel for making a woke movie in their country.

    This one isn’t so bad. Simple misspoken word. Meant to say “company” not “country.” He referenced their “CEO” a moment later.

    Literally a zillion valid thing to complain about Trump. This was nothing.

      What makes it sting is that when it was Biden or Obama misspeaking, the right wing troll farms and the entire corpoganda machine would have a great day with it. And god help them if they wore beige.

      So yeah, I don’t feel a need to play fair anymore. He asked for every whiff of smoke he’s getting.

    Contextually, there’s no indication he had confused Mattel with a country, likely just said the word because of speech habit when talking about tariffs. To think he confused it, you’d have to subscribe to the idea he thinks it’s a country that makes toys and is run by an executive, or had an ear piece correct him mid-sentence.

    He fucks up multiple times a day. There’s much more low-hanging fruit than this. Come on, peeps.

      Its just Alzheimer’s, and hes trying to talk like he thinks people doesn’t see it.

      His father also had it. And it is linked to both bad diet and genetics
