8 Trump Brain Failures No One Can Overlook

Not even Republicans

Trump is unfit for office for countless reasons, and his competency has been under scrutiny since the day he started running for president. But now, as he levels attacks against others for their mental fitness, his presence of mind is becoming more and more tenuous. Evidence of his befuddlement comes in the form of ridiculous misunderstandings and hard-to-believe misidentifications of people and places.  

Trump often attempts to cover up his major missteps by acting like he was joking. That’s clearly a lie. No one could make this stuff up. And nobody thinks it’s funny. 

We would list all of Trump’s screw ups, but that would turn more into a novel, and no one has time for all that. Instead, we’ve compiled a list of 8 of his most glaring mishaps. Please feel free to add any other examples in the comments below!

1. Trump recently confused Barack Obama for Biden at least 7 times, called the Biden Administration the Obama Administration at least 4 times, referred to Obama as if he was the sitting President, and even claimed to have beaten Obama–who he never ran against.

Wow that’s a lot to take in. But alas, we are just getting started.

2. Trump has had several bizarre instances of confusing people and names. This includes mistaking Nikki Haley with Speaker Emerita Pelosi, Kristi Noem with Nikki Haley, George W. Bush with Jeb Bush, and RFK, Jr. with JFK, Jr.

3. Trump also has some big gaffes on timelines. Trump said he was “busy in the White House” focusing on “keeping our country safe” … in 2021. Just to be clear–he wasn’t president then. That was long after Trump had lost, when he was loosely throwing around stolen classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. Trump also said Biden would get us into World War II. Which already happened–and we won. The nazis lost.

Whoa—if we’re going to talk about worrisome gaffes, being mentally unfit for office, poor memory or not having a working brain in general, Trump needs to be the beginning and end of every one of those conversations. Let’s continue.

4. One example that really stands out to me is how Trump seems to forget his lynchpin 2016 campaign promise of getting Mexico to pay for the wall. Because recently Trump said there was no way to get Mexico to pay for a wall, "no legal mechanism.” He went on: “How do you go to a country and say 'I’m building a wall. Hand us a lot of money.’” That’s odd, because my question is, HOW DOES HE FORGET THIS? IT WAS HIS WHOLE CAMPAIGN! Trump also failed to remember when he vowed to use Special Forces on Mexican soil–without their consent–to fight drug cartels.

Trump rolled his eyes, acting as if no one could be stupid enough to believe his promise to have Mexico pay for the wall in the first place—where is the around the clock news coverage on that?

5. It would be bad enough if that was everything, but we know it gets even worse. Trump has been making fumbles on the international stage that you absolutely cannot make if you’re president. Trump called Viktor Orbán the leader of Turkey–he’s the Prime Minister of Hungary. Also regarding Hungary, Trump said it borders Russia–it doesn’t. Additionally, Trump mixed up N. Korea’s Kim Jong-un with China’s President Xi Jinping. This is especially surprising given Trump’s relentless affection for despot Kim Jong-un.

6. Then of course there is Trump’s classic bunch of random nonsense that could only be explained either by a brain injury or worse–just a general detachment from the real world. Trump’s gone on rants saying you need voter ID to buy bread, and even blamed windmills for whales washing up on shores. 

What in the hell are we even talking about at this point? Trump is a maniac.

7. Trump botched his deposition when he misidentified E. Jean Carroll as his ex-wife Marla Maples. The same E. Jean Carroll who was just awarded $83 million in damages against Trump. This one deserves its own number because, A. how does this happen? and B. any answer to A. is beyond disturbing.

8. Trump didn’t even know where the hell he was during a stop in Sioux City–he repeatedly said he was in Sioux Falls.

There is simply too much proof of Trump’s brain failures to ignore. Trump does not have the mental capacity to serve in any office, including dogcatcher.
