and this mentioned several other things including his friend saying he had post it notes around the house to help him remember what he was supposed to be doing.
"Family friend Robyn Booth said Smith was dealing with a staph infection and was preparing for a fourth knee surgery."

he was arrested at his house, cops wouldn't let him take his meds before he left, and the oven was left on.

"Booth said the novelty bill was accidentally mixed in with Smith’s real money.

“It was mixed in with his other bills, and he doesn't even know how it got into his wallet, which makes sense, because he's not thinking straight,” Booth said.

he was in jail for three days and doesn't sound like he's doing too good

so now i'm wondering where that "novelty" bill came from.
was trump team selling that crap, making them look as real as possible while still putting trump's pic on it? or was someone just turning them out without a trump connection?
from the op article "The bill looked realistic, officials said, with realistic size and appearance including the 3D blue security ribbon and holograms. "

if it really was meant to be a novelty bill why would they need to bother with a 3D blue security ribbon & holograms? if trump team was hawking these things i think THEY should be charged with forgery!
