Trump: "I never heard of a category 5 hurricane"

[left-of-center2012]

“I’m not sure that I’ve ever even heard of a Category Five,” Trump said during a televised briefing at Federal Emergency Management Agency headquarters in Washington.
as Hurricane Dorian slammed the Bahamas on Sunday and headed for the U.S. East Coast, hours after being updated to a Category Five storm.

“I’ve seen some Category Fours, you don’t even see them that much,” he said.
“But a Category Five is something that, I don’t know that I’ve ever even heard the term.”

Three Category 5 hurricanes have hit the mainland U.S. or U.S. territories, including Puerto Rico, since Trump was inaugurated: Irma and Maria in 2017, and Michael in 2018.

Trump made a similar comment in 2017, saying of Hurricane Irma at the White House Historical Association dinner that “I never even knew a Category 5 existed.”

12. Cognitive decline. Can't take in, understand, or retain new information.

The brain stops encoding most new information and forming memories of that information.

It's a known characteristic of diseases like Alzheimer's and other cognitive decline diseases.

5. Well this is a man who had no idea people born in Puerto Rico are United States citizens

To say he's intellectually lazy would be a gross understatement.

Katrina was a Cat 5 storm. What a jerk.

7. I did something like that once.

I was 15 or 16 and touring Monticello for the first time. The tour guide referenced that Jefferson was on the two-dollar bill.

Like an uninformed idiot (OK, I've owned it), I exclaimed there was no such thing as a two-dollar bill.

Now decades later, having viewed and held several two-dollar bills, I cringe at the Monticello memory.

BUT at least I learned to shut up if you're ignorant.

13. How is it possible for someone to know of cat 5 hurricanes?

He must not pay attention to anything that hears and has zero comprehension of the world around him.

Call out his ignorance and questionable ability/stability to serve as POTUS?

Overdue for another health evaluation?
