A Slurring Donald Trump Gives Unbelievable Excuse for Constant Mix-Ups

The Republican front-runner made another gaffe as he tried to explain away all his other ones.

Donald Trump’s recent memory failures sure do look like some kind of cognitive decline. In the last few months, Trump has mixed up President Joe Biden with former President Barack Obama, slurred his words, bragged about his favorite type of violent death and that he calls corn “non-liquid gold,” insisted you need voter ID to buy bread, and confused his GOP competitor Nikki Haley for California Representative Nancy Pelosi, claiming that the former failed to act during January 6.

But during a campaign rally on Wednesday, Trump had a new excuse for all that, claiming all of his short circuits are actually just sarcastic jokes.

Ah yes, the time-honored defense of “…it’s just a prank bro!”

"I'm only pretending to be a senile moron"

Good job then trump, you really pulled on over us. Can't wait to see what persona is hiding behind his incoherent exterior.

*Social experiment.

In this case, "How much of a befuddled moron can you be before the magic (R) actually starts to matter?"

And I suspect we'll never find the answer to that.
