Trump, 80, Confuses Iran for Japan, Zelenskiy for Putin
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
President Trump made two glaring mix-ups Wednesday while speaking to the press at a NATO summit in Turkey.
“We had 111 missiles shot by the Islamic Republic of Japan. They were shot at the aircraft carrier,” Trump said, inventing a new government and confusing Japan with Iran.
A few minutes later, sitting alongside Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and pointing to him directly, Trump asked reporters, “You have a question for President Putin, please?” The assembled press chuckled, and some tried to correct Trump, who then tried to spin his mistake by claiming that’s what he meant.
“Do you have a question for President Putin, not Zelenskiy, Putin?” Trump said, again pointing to the Ukrainian leader on his right. “What would you like to ask him, because I’m going to ask him that question.”
These kinds of mistakes are becoming all too common with Trump. By now, it’s obvious to anyone who regularly watches the president that he’s experiencing some kind of cognitive decline. Zelenskiy brushed it off because he’s seen it before and can’t afford to even mildly antagonize Trump, as he needs the president’s support for U.S. military aid. For the rest of us, though, it raises the question of whether Trump has the mental acuity to be president, and how long the octogenarian can keep going on like this.

A national embarrassment on the world stage.
This article says two mix-ups, but he actually made four:
1) Referring to Iran as the Republic of Japan
2) Referring to Zelensky as Putin
3) Referring to TikTok as Tic Tac
4) Referring to the JCPOA as the JCPOC
Just the latest from the very stable genius.
Oh, and his new, giant, foreign 'gift' (wink wink) version of Air Force One couldn't fly all the way there because apparently after almost a billion dollars in renovation it still isn't secure enough, so they sent it to Europe for the troops to gawk at instead.
So much winning...
Arvo..the gift that just keeps on giving..
It really does make you wonder what will come out of his mouth next..
Surprised he hasn't mentioned a bombing raid on Belgium, but he would be hard pushed to find it on a map..so they're safe....🤣
He knows words. He has the best words.
He's a combination of old, a moron, and so lazy it effects his speaking (tic tac , tic toc, who cares?) . The only words he cares about are money and power.
