Trump refuses to admit he misspoke, saying, "You can say 'vanquished' and 'vanished.' It's a combina

Trump's speech said steel jobs had "vanished," but he said "vanquished" by accident. As usual, he refuses to admit he misspoke, saying, "You can say 'vanquished' and 'vanished.' It's a combination of both."

I live in the Rust Belt, and steel "vanished/vanquished" in the Reagan years. Many thousands of steel jobs ended back then. Maybe he's just noticing.

I know, larger point missed also.

He feel it marks him as a lesser person. He is perfect, everything he does is perfectly perfect. He is a total success and top achiever in every single way.

Maybe there should be a medical/psychological/civics exam for presidential nominees.

the erroneous word into the speech with the correct word he misspoke. He pulls that crap all the time, to the point where it's actually a fun game to catch him at it.

I've heard him try it with "though" and "thought", "indivisible" and "invisible", etc. It just stems from the fact that the idjit can't read and is always mucking up the speeches on the teleprompter.

Tillerson was right - he's a f****** moron. He's also a disgrace to this country.
