President Donald Trump, 79, invented a bizarre claim that a Democratic senator from Hawaii wants to build a railroad from the continental United States to the archipelago.
Apparently speaking about Senator Mazie Hirono, Trump said Friday, She wanted a tunnel from the mainland to Hawaii. Then she said, Well, we cant do that, so were gonna build a railroad to Hawaii. Do you remember? Shes a current, sitting senator, a Democrat. She wants a railroad to go to Hawaii. You know who that is, right?
Shes another b the president started, before stopping himself. Shes another beauty.
The presidents statement is a nesting doll of inaccuracies, stemming back to a 2019 joke Hirono made regarding misinformation about the content of the Green New Deal.

Honestly I can never tell anymore if he's really this dumb and insane, or just making dumb stuff up as usual.

Tunnel from Russia to Alaska.
