in charge of 10,000 National Guard Troops.
Vietnam is a tropical rainforest. Didnt he see any of the movies or the CBS evening news
coverage.

(46,227 posts)His delivery was stumbling, but the full clip undercuts the claim he was saying that Desert Storm was fought in Vietnam.

We'll be asking for and will deserve invasion from the Stormanian Planetary Federation and an ass-kicking from Desertistan Prime if we allow Trump access to the spice.......er...I mean...oval office again.

(7,794 posts)The Germans invaded Wall Street causing the crash in '29. You might recall the kamikaze traders diving onto them as they swipped the sidewalk. It was in the Times.

(197,171 posts)He did very early in 2016 but he stopped. I guess he think it makes him old or not as manly. Theres one pic of him in glasses that Ive seen. He was in the limo.
He also famously misread that the airports were secured during the Revolutionary War.

(28,705 posts)TFG said he didn't need the help. You know, Stable Genius, and all.
Like I said: I kinda-sorta remember.
If I was as brilliant as TFG, I'd probably remember for sure!

(1,376 posts)Lord knows I have had my share of misspeaking through the years.
Trump does it ALL THE TIME though. He's an idiot, but it's also pretty apparent he's been losing it mentally for about ten years.

(7,859 posts)I'll bet they did not.
And the worst of it is he doesn't give a shit.
Paraphrasing: "Get out and vote in Iowa. If you die after voting, that's ok."

(1,376 posts)A misspeak is getting facts mixed up or calling people wrong names, etc.. I have definitely done that in public speaking.

(1,376 posts)The reason WWI wasn't remembered was it happened after WWII - LOL. I mean that's pretty bad and obviously I meant it happened before, but I didn't say it that way. And people caught it right away.
Demsrule86
(71,555 posts)I went to high school and spent my young adulthood in Connecticut near New York...Trump is a shitty businessman, didn't pay his bills, and had a filthy mouth on him. He hasn't improved with age now he is a doddering old fool that for some unknown reason the media protects. He is in my opinion sick...in mind and body. I have no doubt he suffers from dementia.I refuse to make and/or accept excuses for his behavior.

When will people realize that we are not necessarily battling Trump and Republicans, we are battling Corporations........
They already have succeeded at controlling 95%, and they will stop at nothing until it is 100% control.
They are about to Obliterate our prized democracy, and install a Corporate Fascist Tyranny.
The good ol' USA is about to become the CSA........Corporate States of America..........by way of a Corporate Fascist Tyranny......

(1,732 posts)They might have made him an officer. He could have fouled up something and got people killed. That is one thing I almost like about him. He seems reluctant to use military force, which is good because you just know he would bobble it.
