With Trump's Inability To Answer Reporters' Simple Questions, THE Question Now Is "Who's In Charge?" - Glenn Kirschner
Trump's cognitive decline was on full display when a reporter asked him a simple question about how long detainees would have to stay at the so-called Alligator Alcatraz facility in the Florida Everglades. Trump asked the reporter to repeat the question and she did.
Trump then launched into a nonsensical rant that had noting to do with the question that was twice asked. Watching this change makes clear that Trump wasn't unwilling to answer the simple, twice-repeated question, but rather was unable to understand and answer the question.
