Trump Openly Confused Over What Year It Is Or When He Was Prez

Donald Trump is speaking to commemorate the founding of the Navy and it is a master class in complete confusion. The next clip you’re going to listen to will blow your mind — and you’re used to Trump saying incredibly stupid things. But the level of confusion is what is different from before. He’s unable to tell a story coherently. He talks about a book he wrote — which he can’t remember the name of. And then the confusion about time and dates will completely bewilder you.

So let me get this straight…he wrote to OBL one year ago, a year before he blew up the WTC, does that mean it just happened? Then he told OBL he had to watch himself? Make it make sense!!! 🙄🤬

And if that was the low point, it would be low enough. It was not.

Just a fucking disgrace that any president would say this to active duty military. But I expect it from this asshole, who has never respected the apolitical military tradition we’ve had since Washington. No, what’s more disgraceful is the silence of Republican vets in Congress. https://t.co/SquKttLxao

Telling a branch of the military that it’s necessary to do away with one of the major political parties is simply ridiculous. There is one guy that you see who laughs, but most of them sit there stony faced, like the generals did. This is wrong, on steroids.

Oh, it was so easy. If only Trump had been around. It would have been over in one day, just like the Ukraine/Russia war. Trump solved that in one day, like he said he would, because it’s so easy to do these things. Oh, wait…..

Now this next one is completely batshit. It’s fact-free and completely wrong on all points. Another master class in confusion.

Trump: "We got sued by the Associated Press, and they lost. In fact, the judge was so good he said, 'He's calling it the Gulf of America. He's got all the approvals' … they got thrown out of court. In fact, they're almost not allowed to cover me anymore because of that. It was… pic.twitter.com/sY4piBEz20

Totally nuts. Here’s what really took place.

And … there goes Donny’s mind to that joyfull alternate reality … again. No – that’s misleading/mostly false. Who sued whom: In Feb. 2025 the Associated Press sued Trump White House officials after AP reporters were barred from certain events over AP’s refusal to use “Gulf of America.” It wasn’t Trump “getting sued and AP losing” because of some court praise for him – AP was the plaintiff. What courts actually did: A judge first denied AP’s emergency TRO on Feb. 24, 2025 (a narrow, early setback for AP) – but then on Apr. 8, 2025 the same court granted AP a preliminary injunction, ordering the White House to restore AP’s access. Parts of that order were later stayed on appeal in June/July, an interim loss for AP, but the case has not been “thrown out.” The quote Trump attributes to a judge (“He’s calling it the Gulf of America… he’s got all the approvals”) does not appear in the rulings; reporting on the decisions quotes no such language.

The written opinions instead focus on First Amendment and access issues. “They’re almost not allowed to cover me anymore” is the opposite of what the litigation is about: AP was restricted by the White House,

then won a district-court order restoring access (before the partial appellate stay). AP remains a major outlet covering the presidency. Bottom line: AP sued; the case has seesawed (early denial, later AP win, partial stay). There was no final AP loss or judge “throwing it out,” and the judge didn’t say what Trump claims.

Trump doesn’t understand the facts and he is utterly clueless about the law. Plus he’s never even read the Constitution or made an effort to comprehend the Bill of Rights. He is a game show host up there winging it. That’s always been the case but it becomes more and more apparent as time goes on what he doesn’t know — about his own life and issues that impact him personally, let alone government or American history or law. Now this next clip is another doozy.

He was not president in 2016. And yes, I too wonder if Jake Tapper is going to cobble together a tell-all book based on this speech. Joe Biden may have had an occasional gaffe but he was not in confusion about when he held office or when the World Trade Center was attacked.

Let’s just end with Pete Hegseth embarrassing himself and his country once again.

Forget about E Pluribus Unum. I guess we’ll have to take it off the currency now. Forget the melting post concept that people used to grow up with. And this is a Christian talking, supposedly, and Christianity is a religion of inclusion.

Just another batshit day in Trump world.
