rump dementia fears as brain misfires

Story by Yelena Mandenberg & Jack Hobbs • 3d

... As Donald Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced that they were financing a $175 billion project to build a missile defense system, the U.S. President's word choices sparked new dementia fears.

After announcing the plan to build a $175 billion 'Golden Dome' to press in the White House's Oval Office on Thursday, Trump directed everyone to look at the portraits around his desk. He named the first two Presidents no problem, but then began to stutter when he got to Monroe.

"That's Monroe from the ... uh ... Monroe docu... document," Trump finally said. Unlike Joe Biden, who always had a stutter, the sudden inability to recall elementary school facts about the Monroe Doctrine has sparked new fears of his mental state online. It comes just days after Trump was branded the "dumbest president ever" ...

One guy came up to me, with a tear in his eye. He said, "Sir, have you been to the Congo? It is an amazing river ride at Disney.". Next week we are going to Disney. We are riding the Congo. We will make sure they are not killing white farmers while on the ride.

That’s rich—Trump’s always struck me as arrogant and loud, but dementia? Nope, that’s not the issue.

Meanwhile, Republicans are obsessed with Biden’s brain and demanding to know who’s really running the show. Wild how the party that followed Trump into a classified documents scandal is suddenly worried about executive competence. Projection much?

Which is where Congress and SCROTUS are at.

Of course, unmentioned by Corporate McPravda: Where does that lead the USA?
