"He went on an unrelated tangent about his summer vacation plans earlier this month when he was asked a very basic question about how long detainees would be kept in the Alligator Alcatraz detention camp, and famously confused Nancy Pelosi and Nikki Haley up at a campaign event last year. These are just one of many examples. Who knows what Trump's mind will look like at the end of this term."

Indeed.

Is it cognitive decline, or is it Trump's well-known habit of flipping reality whenever his emotions or circumstances call for it?

Or is there are difference?

When did Trump learn that Obama created the Epstein files? At the same time that he discovered Biden appointed Powell?

Let's all remember that, up until this Epstein thing, Trump was used to saying ANY damned thing and millions of people just fell into line.

That can be addicting.

He's using the Law of Attraction gimmick, to try to force a parallel universe into existence.

He really is just like The Prophet Muhammad.

Muhammad never wrote anything down. He foamed at the mouth for hours on end and has scribes dutifully write it all down.

Just like Trump speaking at a Trump rally.

They're getting their talking points from rightwing propaganda outlets.

Der Dotard knows and remembers who appointed Jay Powell. He just cannot own up to hiring only the best people, who turn against him or do not bend to his will. The comment made was for his shrinking base of followers ...

Are you sure about that? The brain dead kid-diddler blurted out Marla Maples name when shown a picture of his rape victim E Jean Carroll.

His idiot supporters will just reject the factoid of Powell's appointment as a Democratic Party lie.

This seems to be how the republican speaking points are going. State a total falsehood, and if nobody calls you on it, let if float around out there for the base to stew on. If you do get called on it, just shrug it off and say, "oh, so I was wrong, but what about this next piece of crap I'm going to float out there!"

When he isn't bragging or yelling in caps like a carnival barker he's lying through his teeth, jamming.
