Cognitive Decline? Trump Whines About "Train to Hawaii" in Wild Rant [View all]

President Donald Trump, 79, invented a bizarre claim that a Democratic senator from Hawaii wants to build a railroad from the continental United States to the archipelago.

Apparently speaking about Senator Mazie Hirono, Trump said Friday, “She wanted a tunnel from the mainland to Hawaii. Then she said, ‘Well, we can’t do that, so we’re gonna build a railroad to Hawaii.’ Do you remember? She’s a current, sitting senator, a Democrat. She wants a railroad to go to Hawaii. You know who that is, right?”

“She’s another b—” the president started, before stopping himself. “She’s another beauty.”

The president’s statement is a nesting doll of inaccuracies, stemming back to a 2019 joke Hirono made regarding misinformation about the content of the Green New Deal.

Honestly I can never tell anymore if he's really this dumb and insane, or just making dumb stuff up as usual.
