...but it doesn't matter to the world at large if I forget why I walked into the kitchen or if I declare nuclear war on Honduras. I get a pass.
However, with his day job just a stone's throw from a towering spire internationally known as the Washington Monument in Washington DC, and declaring that no one would remember his name unless George Washington put it in big gold font above the doorway of his mansion, is a whole new level of septuagenarian senility.
I guess if only the Father Of Our Country had blessed his homestead as The Geo Washington Tower Casino, he'd be in the history books for something other than his honesty and acres of local cherry trees. Perhaps next Trump can visit that majestic building near his own home and offer advice that it should be named after New York, so no one would forget that it's in The Empire State. We've been waiting all our lives for someone to help us with these things.
Now that DJT has been edified on our first president, look for his original new campaign slogan for 2020: "I can not tell a lie".

(5,124 posts)I can only hope none of us will remember the Trump years. I don't think he has ever opened a book. I don't think it has anything to do with being senile. Chris Matthews just mentioned that during that visit, President Macron knew more about the place they were visiting. Embarrassing.

To forget brings complacency. We can't allow another administration of this kind.

Fortinbras Armstrong
(4,473 posts)When he was offered the job of Commander of the Revolutionary Army, part of the offer was a yearly salary of $10,000 (a princely sum at the time). He said, in effect, "No, just pay my expenses." and Congress agreed. Then, he started submitting his expense accounts, and they came to more than $10K per year. His laundry bills were deemed particularly outrageous; he must have changed his shirts several times per day, even when wearing military uniform. He and his staff must have drunk like the proverbial fish and eaten in similar fashion. And all those places that say, "George Washington slept here"? They must have charged an arm and a leg for the privilege.
When he got the presidency, he again offered to just work for expenses. Congress told him he would get a salary.
