NBC tweet with video clip of Trump saying this today.

Yesterday, according to Rep. Wilson, Trump apparently couldn't remember Sgt. Johnson's name while talking to his widow.. (He reportedly referred to Johnson as "your guy" then.)
Today, Trump clearly could not remember the widow's name, even her last name.
And judging by that video clip, he couldn't recall Rep. Wilson's name either.

mopinko
(70,208 posts)framing of his "stories" than to say he is lying. that he is bluffing his was through EVERYTHING about being president shows how seriously brain damaged he really is.
i want an mri. and a full psyche exam. and not from dr feelgood, either.
Irish_Dem
(47,382 posts)The psych exam is just a short cut.
Real life tells the story.
And we have more than enough data to make a diagnosis.
So we either have a lying sociopath, or dementia confabulation.
Probably a combination of both.
mopinko
(70,208 posts)the part about memory is exacting. and in his case, it would be damning.
Irish_Dem
(47,382 posts)in real life. And vice versa. So real life functioning is the bottom line.
But yes. He would not do well on basic memory exam.

(70,208 posts)imho, having gone through the testing, it has a strong sexist bias. unreliable in many ways.

lying is quite exhausting he's been doing that all his stinking life.
Irish_Dem
(47,382 posts)he needed a new strategy.
He could have done a Bush and just let a Cheney run the White House and he could just be a figure head and have fun. But too many ego and control issues.

(7,694 posts)I don't know body language(except what I intuitively sense) and my knowledge of yoga is very shallow (but highly appreciative!). But I remember my yoga teacher from many years ago explaining to me that in yoga, your sense of being is located around your breastbone, and if you open up the chest (i.e., stand up straight with shoulders back, chest "out" (or "open" that it gives you a strength to deal with the world.

(22,757 posts)Crossing the arms across the chest is a classic gesture of defensiveness...
When a person feels threatened by a situation, he crosses his arms across his chest creating a barrier that helps him protect his vital organs- the lungs and the heart.
In a group the person who doesnt feel confident is usually the one who has his arms crossed...
You'll also observe this gesture when a person feels offended. Defense is a natural reaction to an offence. When someone is humiliated or criticized, hes likely to cross his arms to assume the defensive mode.

(37,457 posts)If he actually told the truth and made a heartfelt sincere apology, I'd actually have a tad more respect for the guy.
No way he would ever do that.
