President Trump said Friday he does not “remember much” about a March 2016 meeting with George Papadopoulos, a campaign aide who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his contact with Russians.

“I don’t remember much about that meeting, it was an unimportant meeting,” Trump said at the White House. “Took place a long time — don’t remember much about it.”

Papadopoulos’ admission was unsealed this week by special counsel Robert Mueller, who is investigating Moscow’s interference in the 2016 election. The plea agreement contained the clearest evidence yet of a connection with the Kremlin’s election-meddling effort and the Trump campaign.

Trump repeated his assertion his campaign did not collude with Russia to tip the election in his favor. “All I can tell you is this: there was no collusion, there was no nothing,” he told reporters.

[onecent]

21. Yeah it's gets short when he can't remember who someone was.......He

knows who that man was, or HE WOULD'NT HAVE BEEN AT THE MEETING!!

24. Trump About two wks ago-- "One of the great memories of all time," he said at the time.

............Trump and his aides have consistently downplayed Papadopoulos’s involvement on the campaign, calling him a low-level “volunteer” who was not involved with important decisions.

While Trump claimed not to remember the meeting with Papadopoulos, just two weeks ago he cited his long memory in disputing negative accounts of his condolence call with the widow of a slain U.S. soldier.

"One of the great memories of all time," he said at the time.

2. If he can't remember anything an Alzheimer's evaluation is in order for the public good

[lagomorph777]

10. He's going to have to choose between Article 2, Section 4, and Amendment 25

In simple terms, is Turd criminal, or mentally incompetent?

12. This

is the mobster strolling around Central Park in his pajamas to feign insanity

[Zambero]

3. Straight from Reagan's Iran-Contra playbook

Expect to hear a lot of "I don't remember(s)" from this point forward.

[DetlefK]

4. Oh, he does remember: Trump has "the best brains!" How could he possibly forget???

[world wide wally]

5. He has the world's greatest (selective) memory

[bucolic_frolic]

8. This is a tactic straight out of builder/developer/landlord zoning playbook

when you show up in court, don't produce any papers, don't remember anyone, don't acknowledge any verbal agreements,
just feign the nice guy image.

He is one big CON!

[lagomorph777]

15. "Nice Guy image"???

If he acted like a nice guy, people would know he's lost his mind and it would be immediate 25th Amendment time.

9. Sessions and Trump - CRS syndrome

Can't Remember Shit Syndrome. And with their bigly, beautiful minds.

Russia turns Trump from 'one of the great memories of all time' to 'I don't remember much'
By Laura Clawson -- Nov 03, 2017 · 6:51 AM PDT

You’d think that it would be a memorable moment for a presidential candidate when one of his foreign policy advisers offered to set up a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. You’d think that memory might be kept fresh when Russian election interference turned into a major story and a serious problem for your presidency. But not Donald Trump: .....

[vinny9698]

14. For once his telling the truth, Trump doesn't remember much.

He has no memory retention

[greatauntoftriplets]

16. Sergeant Schultz would be proud.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

17. So unimportant he made it a major feature in his Twitter feed.

18. Donald Trump: I have 'one of the great memories of all time'

Donald Trump has disputed the claim that he forgot the name of a slain soldier while talking to his widow, claiming he has "one of the great memories of all time".

He's been making this claim for quite a while (this from 2015):

Trump defends 9/11 claims: I have world's best memory

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump is not backing down from his claim that “thousands of people” in Arab communities in New Jersey were cheering on 9/11.

Trump defended himself by telling an NBC News reporter that he has "the world’s greatest memory" and that everybody knows that.

But, erm, this is from 2016:

Trump can't recall saying he has one of the world's best memories

Donald Trump in a deposition for a Trump University lawsuit said that he doesn't recall claiming to have the world's greatest memory, according to newly released transcripts.

A lawyer questioning Trump in the case on behalf of the plaintiffs, Jason Forge, peppered the presumptive GOP presidential nominee with questions about his claims and actions surrounding the case.

At one point, he told Trump that the businessman had stated he had "one of the best memories in the world," according to a transcript that includes hundreds of pages of testimony.

"I don't know. Did I use that expression?" Trump asked. When told he had used the phrase, the billionaire asked to see evidence that he had said it, being told there was video of his remark.

[tclambert]

19. He doesn't remember claiming to have a great memory. Bet he'll say it again sometime.

[Mr. Ected]

Lest he forget how many years he still has to serve.
