FROTUS (First Rapist) screws up Medal of Honor Ceremony

https://www.rawstory.com/2019/06/squish-brained-trump-brutally-mocked-for-claiming-medal-of-honor-recipient-killed-insurgent-wearing-a-wardrobe/

"In a bizarre moment of awarding the Medal of Honor to an Iraq War veteran, President Donald Trump pivoted from his remarks to say that the soldier was attacked by someone “wearing a wardrobe.” Typically when Trump fumbles his remarks, he restates them. In this case, he said the correct phrase and then changed it to something strange.

“Then a third assailant burst out of a wardrobe — wearing a wardrobe,” Trump said."....(more at link)

I was my mother's caregiver and I see similarities between her dementia and Donnie's behavior.

My mother and aunt, both, had dementia (Alzheimer's). Between the two of them, I have 15 years worth of experiences to compare, and trump*'s behaviors are setting off all sorts of alarm bells.

getting away from an assailant wearing a wardrobe shouldn't be too difficult. I'm sure the Medal of Honor recipient deserved the award for something much more heroic than evading a wardrobe-wearing attacker.

He thought, "burst out of a wardrobe" had to be wrong, so he ad libbed it and made it 'wearing a wardrobe' which makes absolutely no sense. Doesn't he know what a wardrobe is, referring to a piece of furniture? I guess not.

Mr. Stupid should always read through his remarks first, but of course when you are a stable genius you don't need to.

And it always doesn't matter anyway. He gets away with everything, large and small!

Trump is going to go down in full public view. He won't allow his aides to hide him like Reagan's did.

Melania could care less. She only backs him up after he begs her and adds a couple of million dollars to her prenup agreement.
