Speaking during a Veterans Day celebration in Washington, D.C. this morning, so-called “President” Donald Trump was in full verbal glitch mode, locking up, spouting nonsense, and proving that his dementia has reached a new level of concern.
As he attempted to honor attendee Ryan Hendrickson, a Green Beret who wrote a book about his wartime experiences after he retired after receiving injuries when he stepped on an IED, Trump said, “Green Beret Ryan Hendrickson was leading his team through a Taliban-held village in Afghanistan at 3 in the morning when he was stepped on by enemy. I mean, he was the enemy, the enemy was all over. He made the mistake. A mistake that people understood when they were in the battles, jungles.”
Fact-check: There are absolutely no jungles in Afghanistan. It’s in the Middle East, and about all you’ll find are caves, caverns, and lots of sand. There’s no way a jungle could exist there.
Also, how do you get “stepped on” by the enemy? Oh, wait! Hendrickson was the enemy. No! Wait! The enemy was all over. So who was the enemy again? Things can get so damn confusing in the jungle.
There was immediate (and often hilarious) reaction to Donnie’s muddled attempt at oration.
Can we just go ahead and admit that a man whose brain has the consistency of Vaseline is also in control of our nuclear arsenal? And can we please DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT?!
