      He already forgot he was human. He thinks he’s the great pumpkin.

    Fucking worthless. Every “journalist” in that room should have pressed him on that. It fucking takes 2 seconds to pull up the clip of him saying it or the tweet.

      You said it in the last week as you can see here. Did you answer the email of what you did in the last week? I guess that means your fired according to the President.

      Every major journalism outlet is owned by a billionaire who if not an outright Republican, leans right of center. The only journalists that are allowed to do real journalism these days are publishing to stuff no one is reading because it’s not a major trusted name. Journalism is currently dead, I think it can be revived, but it’s not exactly likely.

    I don’t think this one was dementia. Qt least not primarily. He’s used to gaslighting in his personal life, and here he’s simply gaslighting the whole world on television. If there’s some dementia to this, then that is not to understand that you cannot gaslight a million people at once, because the point of gaslighting is to make its victim think they are going crazy and imagining things.

    Though… Can it be that for the MAGA audience this gaslighting does work and they really will believe Trump has never called Zelenskyj a dictator?

    It’s getting genuinely hard to tell if he’s being deliberately duplicitous or just senile. At least when Biden had his senior moments you could tell it was just a senior moment.

      In fairness, that was my first reaction too.

      A mix of “haha the bloke doesn’t know what he had for breakfast, let alone what he said at the start of the week” and “haha he fucking what?”

        Immediate follow up should have been deafening silence only broken by the journalist clarifying he did say it, and if he’s intended to formally retract his accusation. I’m so tired.

    Yeah, man. We also can barely believe half the crazy shit you say, or that people eat it up. And yet you keep doing it…

    I know someone like this. A lot of the possible dementia-induced-confusion is indistinguishable from the pre-dementia reality-distorting lies and malice, to the point you suspect even they don’t know what’s real anymore.

    the people in here saying look how dumb he is can you fucking not fall for this BS please. he was very specific and direct with his language so no amount of Steve urkel “did I do that” shit walks back anything he does. and the public should not let that be the norm.

    "ohh that’s our dumb donny. " U fux

      It seems like he shit talks and threatens people until they seem to give him something he wants. Then it’s “no waaaay we’re buds!”
