Trump Regularly ‘Can’t Remember’ Things

November 20, 2019 · 1:00 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Newsweek: “Much of the nearly 260 pages of the anonymous official’s tome, A Warning, which hit bookshelves on Tuesday, has been dedicated to sounding the alarm about Trump’s alarming behavior.”

“While the anonymous author, who is described only as a senior official in the Trump administration admits they are not ‘qualified to diagnose the president’s mental acuity,’ they can say that ‘normal people who spend any time with Donald Trump are uncomfortable by what they witness.'”

Writes the official: “He stumbles, slurs, gets confused, is easily irritated, and has trouble synthesizing information, not occasionally but with regularity.”
