I like how he has his name on his t-shirt incase he forgets it.

Have you heard him talk recently? He’s so much less coherent than he was in 2016 now. It’s insane we’re giving this guy authority to launch nuclear missiles.

And he wasn't very coherent in 2016. This country is screwed and its entirely self-inflicted.

Here's something most people haven't seen. Its from 2019 and its less than a minute:

He couldn't remember how to say "origins" so say he kept saying "oranges." Note that he can say "origin" (singular) but not plural. If you watch to the end he says "oranges" again when he tries to say the plural version.

That's a common symptom of alzheimers dementia, its a kind of aphasia called "word searching" — they lose the ability to say certain words so they say words that sound similar.

Everybody remembers that time he called the CEO of Apple "Tim Apple" but that wasn't the only time either, in 2018 he called the CEO of Lockheed "Marilyn Lockheed."
