by Or consider the moment, last November, when Trump confused China and North Korea, telling an audience of supporters in Florida that “Kim Jong Un leads 1.4 billion people, and there is no question who is the boss. And they want me to say that he is not an intelligent man.”
There was also a time when Trump confused Nikki Haley, his former ambassador to the United Nations, with Nancy Pelosi, the former speaker of the House.
“Nikki Haley, you know, you know they destroyed all the information, all the evidence, everything, they erased it and destroyed it all? All of this, for many things like Nikki Haley being in charge of security. We offered her 10,000 people, soldiers, National Guard, whatever you want. She rejected him. They don’t want to talk about it. “They are very dishonest people,” Trump said, repeating his false claim that Pelosi was responsible for the Capitol security failure on January 6.
If you want, you can also try to make sense of the former president’s recent attempt to describe a missile defense system:
“I will build an Iron Dome over our country, a state-of-the-art missile defense shield made in America,” Trump said, before taking an unusual detour. “These aren’t muscle guys here, they’re muscle guys up here, right?” he continued, pointing to his arms and head to emphasize, I suppose, that the people responsible for building such systems are capable and intelligent.
“And they walk calmly towards us, and ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. You only have 17 seconds to figure all this out. Boom. OK. Missile launch. Oh. Boom,” she added.
