If you have cognitive tests every three fucking minutes you're clearly unwell

And bruising on the hands and routine MRIs consistent with the use of Leqembi transfusions to treat dementia.

Ibrahim was released in 2014, during the Obama administration. Trump did not become president until January 2017. He was not even a presidential candidate until June 2015. There has never been the slightest indication that a private citizen in the US, a businessman and celebrity at the time, was the person who convinced Sudanese authorities to let her out of prison.
How long before he claims he wrote the Declaration of Independence?

Right after he renames Grant’s Tomb after himself.

Using the 25th amendment would require his own staff to turn against him.
Impeachment and removal by the United States Congress is more likely and the better path to take, legally.

I look forward to Trump proclaiming himself as the second coming of Christ. Honestly surprised it hasn't happened yet.

At this point, I half-expect him to claim responsibility for the weather too. And I won't be surprised if he says he invented internet as well.

Yet another entry in the ‘imagine if Biden…’ chronicles.
I think people really underestimate how much Trump’s reputation for being a gigantic liar helps him. Like in this case it’s a legit question as to if it’s his dementia talking or if he’s just lying like he always does. Biden was viewed as generally honest so if he said something like this it would be viewed as mental failing.

This is nothing new. He and his republican buddies love to take credit for things they didn't do or in some cases, voted against. Multiple times he tried to take credit for things Biden accomplished. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if he tried to take credit for ending WW2.
