Trump referenced a weekend conversation with Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek, and he alluded to being told by Kotek that the reality in Portland is different from what’s being portrayed to him.
“I spoke to the governor, she was very nice,” Trump said. “But I said, ‘Well wait a minute, am I watching things on television that are different from what’s happening? My people tell me different.’ They are literally attacking and there are fires all over the place…it looks like terrible.”
Oh God. The reality TV guy thinks TV is reality.
This was known from his first term. He had hours of “Executive Time” scheduled every day that was just him watching television. Fox News Grandpa is running the nation.
So he asked if what he was told by others was correct, almost certainly was told it was wrong by the actual Governor that would know firsthand… And still decided to send the military based on the lie.
This proves an intent to ignore reality, not just decisions based on misinformation provided.
The problem is the Governor wasn’t the last person to tell him something.
Are his handlers showing him old riot footage?
Oh God, the possibility that the biggest gaslighter you know is also being gaslit by his sycophants.
It could have been riot footage from Hong Kong, and would probably have worked just as well.
It’s called dementia, Mr. President.
Remember when Reagan would confuse movie plots with things that actually happened? The USA doesn’t learn from its mistakes.
Thanks to the marvels of the modern education system… No.
Little late to be asking that for the first time now, Donald. Is this that thing where old people have a brief flash of sanity before they go out forever?
lol I was thinking something similar, but hoping for let these be a reverse John Fetterman stroke.
Trump certainly has gone senile and he’s being manipulated. Remember, Trump is merely the front and the fall guy, the real power pulling the strings are the oligarchs who bankrolled him.
JFC, all of this is just so very stupid.
He really is the average Faux viewer manifested as President. So many of those fucking idiots think that BLM/antifa literally burned cities to the ground.
We must spend millions to stop this antifa banana. He’s an immediate threat to national security. The sax looks shifty too. I’m worried his IQ may be even higher than our own president. Send in the seals!
See the rainbow armband? That how we know they’re antifa!
Done, now what?
Good job. Now we wait
He’s a complete puppet who has no idea what’s going on. A figurehead who believes whatever the fascist regime tells him and signs whatever executive orders they put before him. They still need him because the cult base is what keeps them in power-, otherwise he’d already be gone. What will they do when he dies or can’t go out in public any more? I’m not sure if they know, but I think once the midterms are over and once they believe they’ve cemented their power they’ll get rid of him in a heartbeat.
Is he becoming self aware for the first time?
