(151,576 posts)He meant "driver's license" but said "license plate." And, since gis brain isn't connecting words properly any longer, he wasn't even aware he had made a mistake, So, he just blundered on, changed the subject and scrambled some other things. "I ended six wars in six months" There aren't six wars and he hasn't ended any wars at all. But, in his muddled consciousness, he is sure that everything he says is true, because he cannot remember what he said beyond a minute or two.
Confabulation. A very common symptom in dementia. Nonsense just comes out, sounding like complete sentences, but making no sense at all and having no relationship with any known facts.
Trump is rapidly losing the ability to communicate, but doesn't know it and just blathers on. Nobody corrects him. Nobody dares to.
