“Trump doesn’t know his opponent’s name” really ought to be the headline.

Considering he’s still talking about Biden so much, I think you’re probably right.

And they’ll undoubtedly appoint sharks and electrocution to cabinet positions.

Did you see his press conference? He started rambling about Biden, and I’m like "Dude, you aren’t running against Biden anymore…"And then he remembered that he wasn’t running against Biden, and he started talking about how the Democrats forced Biden out and what a shame it was and how it was a COUP. Of course, he’s no big fan of Biden, and it’s actually better for him to run against Kamala, but don’t you think it’s terrible what they did to Joe?!?

He’s so bothered that Biden isn’t running anymore, and he’s doing such a poor job of hiding it.

The orange felon/rapist is unbelievably STUPID. He thinks asylum seekers are from mental asylums and thinks, or outright lies, about being on a helicopter that had to make an emergency landing.

It’s even better than I thought:

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

Reminds me of the memes about nobody knowing Obamas last name

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?

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.

Do you have an example?

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”

By the way, my dad had dementia in his final years, and I would never joke about dementia. It is not funny.

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.

He’s trying to imply her “real” last name is something more foreign-sounding. Just more racism.

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.

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

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