Trump Regularly 'Can't Remember What He's Said or Been Told,' White House Insider Says
This official claims that "normal people who spend any time with Donald Trump are uncomfortable by what they witness." "He stumbles, slurs, gets confused, is easily irritated, and has trouble synthesizing information, not occasionally but with regularity," and "the president also can't remember what he's said or been told."
While that is sometimes a way of trying to escape responsibility, it often seems to be genuine. Like not knowing what a Category 5 hurricane is after being briefed on four of them over his presidency.
He(she?) has often "seen the president fall flat on his face when trying to speak intelligently" on several things that he has claimed to be expert on. "You can see why behind closed doors his own top officials deride him as an 'idiot' and a 'moron' with the understanding of a 'fifth or sixth grader,'" he claims. Also, the President shows shows "astounding" level of "intellectual laziness." Some other officials have claimed that he does not like to read, and that he likes briefings with lots of pictures and not much text. This one agrees, and he is "bewildered how anyone could have run a private company on the empty mental tank President Trump relies upon every day to run the government." "On television, a CEO-turned-showman can sit around a desk and bark orders at subordinates and then go to commercial. In real life, a successful CEO has to absorb a lot of information, about the economic climate, about his or her competitors, about product and consumer trends." "How can you manage a sprawling organization if you won't read anything? Not very well, it turns out."
Other people have claimed that he yells at his staffers a lot, and that Mitch McConnell stands apart from them by yelling back.
Seems like he deserves the 25th Amendment used on him. Why this hasn't happened seems to me to be political cowardice. Consider how long it has taken to start impeachment proceedings.
