Laugh all you want, I'm just thankful for the 2 great presidents we've had during my lifetime- Donald Reagan and Ronald Trump.

He needs to be removed, like 2 years ago! What a fucking embarrassment and clear and present danger to our country, our people and our way of life.

and talk show hosts have notes and prompters with people's names readily accessable, visible. Surely DJT's staff provides? Why wouldn't they? Or they do and he ignores? Come to think of it you rarely see him looking at notes like most public servants.

Either way, he's definitely got early stage dementia whether it's natural or it's his drug problem manifesting?

Someone the wrong name without thinking. People with memory loss don't do that, do they?

If I didn't know your name, I would hesitate and maybe call you "that guy" "that girl". But to consistently just call, not one person but many many people, the wrong name is an odd behavior. No?

he knows he's declining and trying to hide it (just like he tries to hide his baldness) by saying whatever name pops in his head, when he's in a public setting. That's my theory anyway.

Edit - fixed typo
