Trump's Dementia [View all]

Memory lapse #1

During a White House press conference February 24, Trump was asked about trade between the US, Mexico, and Canada.

"I mean who can blame them if they made these great deals with the United States, took advantage of the United States on manufacturing, on just about everything - every aspect that you could imagine they took advantage of," he said.

"I look at some of these agreements and I say who would ever sign a thing like this. The tariffs will go forward, yes. We’ll make up a lot of territory. Our country will be liquid and rich again."

Trump made those agreements and signed “those things” during his first term.

Memory lapse #2

Complaining about the Chairman of the Federal Reserve , Jerome Powell, not agreeing with his economic plan, Trump said the following:

“He’s a terrible, he’s a terrible fed chair. I’m surprised he was appointed, I was surprised frankly that Biden put him in and extended him.” 

It was Trump who appointed Powell during his first term.
