Trump's 'Great Memory' Fails As He Repeatedly Forgets Names

Video in article linked at https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-forgetting-names-video_us_5c57dab0e4b00187b552391b

President Donald Trump has claimed to have “one of the great memories of all time,” but he sure seems to have a problem with names at times.

A new video from 'NowThis News' shows the president struggling with names again and again.

Trump also has a tendency to lose his “great memory” when in court.

While being deposed in 2016 in connection with a lawsuit over Trump University, he said “I don’t remember” 35 times, and reportedly used the same phrase 24 times in a 2012 case.

as a demonstration of how "unimportant" they are in his universe.

However age could be catching up to him so certainly dementia is not out of the question...
