Trump Regularly 'Can't Remember What He's Said Or Been Told,' White House Insider Says

[brooklynite]

Source: Newsweek

President Donald Trump regularly struggles to "remember what he's said or been told," an anonymous senior government official behind a new exposé on the inner workings of the White House has claimed.

Much of the nearly 260 pages of the anonymous official's tome, A Warning, which hit bookshelves on Tuesday, has been dedicated to sounding the alarm about Trump's alarming behavior.

While the anonymous author, who is described only as a "senior official in the Trump administration" admits they are not "qualified to diagnose the president's mental acuity,"

Often, they say, "the president also can't remember what he's said or been told."

1. Constant leaks . . .

Mainly to keep the USA and world somewhat confused. Nevertheless, I think many already know.

[PJMcK]

2. Who could be surprised by this?

Trump reverses himself daily. He'll contradict something he said just the day before.

The man is a complete mess.

Also, Trump is an idiot.

[NRaleighLiberal]

3. when one doesn't think before they speak, there is nothing to recall

he is a random lie filled, hate-tinged word generator

[Mc Mike]

4. Funny how he keeps remembering to ask his underlings for status reports on the crimes

he orders them to commit.

[enough]

5. And they all stay silent. NT

[FM123]

6. Yep.

the senior official says they are "bewildered how anyone could have run a private company on the empty mental tank President Trump relies upon every day to run the government."

[lagomorph777]

20. He ran the private company into the ground.

Repeatedly. Now it's billions of Roubles in debt.

[McCamy Taylor]

7. So he is going to plead dementia rather than the 5th?

[Botany]

9. Tertiary Syphilis?

Tertiary Syphilis


This stage begins when symptoms from the secondary stage disappear. Syphilis isn’t contagious at this point, but the infection has started to affect your organs. This can lead to death. Symptoms of tertiary syphilis may include:

Problems controlling muscle movements
Numbness
Vision problems (you may start going blind)
Dementia

30. Signs of past cocaine abuse?

[cstanleytech]

18. Alzheimer's would be my guess and if I recall his father had it.

[lagomorph777]

21. Plead the 25th?

[Botany]

8. When he was speaking last Friday he looked like he was having some kind of attack

He was slurring his words, his speech was labored, he was bloated, and if I remember
right he had a death grip on the podium.

[YOHABLO]

10. Wouldn't that be the icing on the cake.

Trump is put under ''observation'' in the psychiatric ward at Walter Reed. The narrative has been so bizarre since 2016, why not?

[MartyTheGreek]

11. It begins... memory Defense! "Barr Uses His Trump Card"

Can you say Iran / Contra? Reagan years? Yep, early mid-1980's, Barr was pulling the strings behind the scenes and got all the pardons going even back then! Reagan did appear to have some public memory lapses and lots of gaffs in his speeches near the end of his presidency but to me, this looks like the last cards are being played now.

Also, the timing of this... Today should be one of the biggest testimonies to date in the impeachment hearings so look for some dramatic tweets for distractions and more falsehoods and lies.

Can a president mentally incapacitated pardon felons? War criminals? oops.

[ECSkeptic]

12. I'm oddly comforted...

"Did you launch those missiles like I said?"
"Um...yes, sir, sure did! <Insert country here> is a smoldering ruin!"
"Good!"

<narrator CousteauImpression="bad">Ten minutes later...</narrator>

"Hey! I want to nuke <Insert country here!>"
"Yes sir, I'll see to that!" (runs out and plays Candy Crush, then comes back) "It's done!"
"What's done? Hey, I want to nuke <Insert country here!>"
"I'll get right on it, boss!" (runs out, watches YouTube Videos of popping zits)

and so on

[mr_lebowski]

23. Hope he kills John G!

(movie reference there)

[Gothmog]

13. trump has been showing signs of senility for a while

[safeinOhio]

14. No short term.

No long term.

No second term.

[Gothmog]

15. This is scary

[groundloop]

16. I see PENCE is angling for the Presidency

He realizes that removing tRump form office is his one and only chance of ever sitting in the big chair.

[cstanleytech]

19. Pence isn't very electable nationally though so he would have a rough time winning a first time run.

Now what they may try is to wait until after the election and then if Trump wins they will have him resign due to health reasons and then shoehorn Pence in at which time he will have 4 years to build a base on.

[left-of-center2012]

17. from the linked article

"You can see why behind closed doors his own top officials deride him as an 'idiot' and a 'moron' with the understanding of a 'fifth or sixth grader,'"

[Sloumeau]

22. It sounds like Trump suffers from C.R.S.: Can't Remember S**t

Here's the red baseball cap Trump *should* be wearing:

24. 'I have one of the great memories of all time'

Less than a year and a half ago...

Trump on lack of notes from Kim meeting: 'I have one of the great memories of all time'

[LonePirate]

32. Yeah, it is strange how someone with the one of greatest memories ever can't remember shit.

He was lying then and he’s lying now. If he’s talking, he’s lying.

[BlueIdaho]

25. The neurological problems of a 300 pound 70 year old

Are nothing to sneeze at. He is a walking talking poster child for age related dementia.

[Thomas Hurt]

26. I am not sure pathological liars need to remember. It doesn't matter.

[dewsgirl]

27. I am not surprised, but it sucks to have it confirmed to this degree.

I'm listening to the book in between hearings.

[itcfish]

28. Can These Be

Drug related? The Adderall addiction?

[SWBTATTReg]

29. Simple reason for this...he's a f**king druggie, and thus, can't remember a damn thing...

I got family members like this that will do drunk dialing on the phone, of course I don't ever answer.

After a while, you stop feeling sorry for these people...they've been told repeatedly, they've been in therapy, they etc. etc. etc. You literally get exhausted...

[ProudMNDemocrat]

31. So much for Trumps "great memory" defense.

[truthisfreedom]

33. Final stages of adderall addiction.

[LudwigPastorius]

34. Ahh, the old mental incompetency defense...

It rarely works when mafia dons use it to try and avoid jail time.
