I always thought it was fascinating how much he gets to say he has no knowledge or memory of anything. It's like wow, why are you even president if you don't know or remember anything ever? The obvious tactic should have been mocking and ridiculing him BETTER than he mocks and ridicules everyone. His insults are trash tier. The left should have just roasted the shit out of him back in 2016.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

This is Trump’s way of stalling to give the GOP’s PR apparatus time to draft messaging that whitewashes the incident.
Other politicians would say “no comment” to buy time, and that makes them look guilty. Trump says “I don’t know yet,” which makes the incident look too insignificant for a busy person to pay attention to.
Honestly, it’s a smart tactic. It’s evil and shitty, but it’s smart.
That’s always the thing that saddens me. People think somehow Trump is both an idiot but stripping the government apart piece by piece at the same time. Even if he is dumb, there’s a powerful group of people behind him working hard to ensure they gain more money and/or power. And it’s pretty clear Russia is leading that charge. Trump isn’t in power because of some dumb mistake. It required a lot of money and effort, and the decisions he’s made in power are specifically benefiting those that put him there.
He's not smart, he's just had a lifetime to perfect the art of dodging accountability and becoming a figure that noone expects morality from... While somehow not being barred from positions of power. The del boy of american politics.
FOX News has already been gaslighting since the story broke
It's experienced that's why, he's had to do this shit dozens of times I bet
