  1. > In an interview on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Ramin Setoodeh, co-editor-in chief at Variety, said he did an hour long sit-down interview with Trump while researching for his book, “Apprentice in Wonderland: How Donald Trump and Mark Burnett Took America Through the Looking Glass.” A few months later, Setoodeh met with Trump again, this time at Trump Tower, to discuss his time in the White House. Trump had “no recollection of our lengthy interview,” he said.

  6. Well all those years of cocaine and other drugs will do that to a brain.

  7. He Remembers that he hates pretty much anyone who is not White, and praising him. His antics when the teleprompter is broken says it all about his cognitive/memory issues.

  8. There is a reason he can only speak about like 5 things on repeat. He has been doing that since 2016.

    Whenever he is asked off those questions he rants and rambles on.

  9. Looks like daddy Fred’s Alzheimer’s IS hereditary after all.

  12. Serious question. What happens if he passes away after the GOP convention?

    I would think they would have a plan B just in case.

  13. Fuck Trump.

    But unless Trump doesn’t remember Ivanka, I’m not sure this is proof of anything.

    Also i prefer the interpretation that the shit coming out of his mouth is his best attempt, instead of the ramblings of a senile asshole.

  14. Since the media LOVES to have a 24 hr cycle every time biden even looks the wrong way, this deserves at least a week of coverage. Anything else would be patently unfair

  15. I think people are reading way way too much into Cognative decline and possible senility of both Trump and Biden like they are some kind of neurocognative scientific experts or doctors. The media has felt the need to gravitate to every misstep or slip of the tongue of both Biden and Trump because Facebook doctors see each of these things as tell tale signs each man is somehow senile and it sells as clicks or forum participation. Every Tom, Dick, and Harry now think they have an MD-PhD in geriatric medicine.

  16. I dont mean to sound like im defending Don but is it possible hes just a piece of shit who doesnt remember people he considers beneath him?

  17. Only time I’ll ever defend Trump— I’m a signed recording artist and I meet a lot of people, I vaguely remember faces but I almost never remember the people I meet. It’s legitimately impossible to recall everyone, and he meets a lot more people than I do. With all this said, vote for the non-felon.

  18. Its not just that he cant remember, but he also doesnt care 😜

  21. When I heard Marg say how he recognises her I was like are trying to cover over his dementia. Cause she sure as hell had a grandpa is loosing it tone as she said it!!

  22. Why would anyone ever expect anything but this? Hopefully more and more people hear this story and begin applying increasing amounts of critical thinking and skepticism to the parties involved in the 2024 presidential race. There is a tremendous amount of disinformation being circulated these days.

  23. Maybe he can only recognize other people convicted of felonies now.

  24. The Dunning Kruger Effect is out in full force on this one.

  26. You have to have a felony and be a racist misogynist for Trump to recognize you.

  27. Trump only recognizes people who have jacked him off.

  28. He probably doesn’t remember Tiffany is his daughter.

  29. Makes it easy for him to forget he shat his pants an hour ago.

    Or that he owes money all around town.

  30. Lol. Get trapped in your mind,scumbag. Come November he will be a drooling mess.

  33. I saw my Aunt progress through all the stages of Alzheimer’s. It started with forgetfulness and temporary loss of short term memory. By the time she was diagnosed, she had Mild dementia where her short term memory was shot and she would repeat the same questions/stories again and again. She still had long term memory but could get lost walking from one room to another. By then, she was in a nursing home.

    By the time she was in Moderate Dementia, she had greater memory loss, plus loss of bladder and bowel control. In the final stage, she had loss of muscle control, difficulty swallowing, and suffered from dehydration. Fortunately, the end was pretty quick. It seemed like every stage was more accelerated than the previous.

    I would say Trump may have Mild Dementia, but reports of loss of bladder and bowel control sounds like Moderate Dementia. At his rallys he flounders without a Teleprompter, and I noticed, he repeats the same off topic stories, and often seems to lose his train of thought in mid-sentence. While he may have a change in his temperament, I get the impression that he’s been a jackass for quite a long time.

    The upcoming debate may be telling (for both candidates).

  34. Hasn’t he been telling us for years how he’s got the greatest memory of all time… while also telling us he’s never met like anyone who’s interacted with him?

  35. To be fair, if I met someone one time for an hour, I might not be able to remember their exact name nor immediately connect their face to that name on sight months later, but I’d definitely remember being interviewed for an entire hour for a book.

  36. To be fair, in order for Trump to remember you, you’d either have to have been married to him or raped by him. Oh wait…

  37. Post this to r/conservative where it’s actually needed. But good luck getting it into the bubble without getting permanently banned
