    You’ve got to run everything through his dementia/ego filter. Whenever he says “everyone tells me…” he means “I tell me…” and when he says “nobody knows…” he means “I don’t know…”

    It’s even better than I thought:

    “Kamala Harris. You know it’s interesting nobody really knows her last name,”

    Reminds me of when Republicans said Obama so much they forgot his first name wasn’t that. Same people and same weird racism so it makes sense.

    Look, I’m not trying to make a dig about Trump’s age, because I’m not about that ageism.

    But he is 78, and with the things he’s been saying lately… is he going senile?

    He thinks people didn’t know Kamala’s black until recently (despite her “that girl was me” zinger in 2020, about segregated bussing). He thinks people don’t know Kamala’s last name.

    Is it just him who can’t remember, because he’s losing his memory?

      Dude above us pointed something interesting out…Nikki Hailey is full of Indian, Trump probably thinks he’s running against her.

        Yeah I’ve been saying this too, since he started the “she was Indian, now she’s black” statements. He also tried out a name attack on Haley’s first name back then

        He also mixed up Haley and Pelosi when he was running against haley in the primary, after spending 2 years complaining about Pelosi leading up to Jan 6.

      I don’t think it’s just senility. He’s *been showing signs of frontotemporal dementia for a while. Have you ever seen one of his interviews from the 90s? Still a terrible man, but at least he was coherent.

          Statnews ran an article on it back in 2017[1] highlighting his already then clear mental decline, noting as an example that in the 80s and 90s:

          …Trump fluently peppered his answers with words and phrases such as “subsided,” “inclination,” “discredited,” “sparring session,” and “a certain innate intelligence.” He tossed off well-turned sentences such as, “It could have been a contentious route,” and, “These are the only casinos in the United States that are so rated.” He even offered thoughtful, articulate aphorisms: “If you get into what’s missing, you don’t appreciate what you have”

    I feel like the Dems ought to pull the records from one of his bankruptcy cases and just run an add that runs through all of the creditors he stiffed. “Employee A, janitor at casino, owed $700, received $30.” “Plumber who fixed pipe at hotel, owed $1400, received $60.” The man bankrupted a casino, a literal money printing machine. Why would we want his incompetent ass anywhere near the controls of our country.

    Considering that every accusation is a confession, the headline should be:

    Trump admits that he can’t remember Kamala Harris’ last name.

      I mean I hate him, but I didn’t get that from this. To me it sounded like he was suggesting that her newfound supporters know very little about her, that they are fair-weather followers or something. It’s easy to imagine that one of his yes-men showed him a clip of a rally where somebody was fumbling for her last name, and he just took that idea and magnified a single example of something into “nobody knows”, like he always does.
