Trump: "The Islamic Republic of Japan shot 111 missiles at....

[Pototan]

the USS Abraham Lincoln..."

President Donald Trump appeared to confuse Iran with Japan during a jaw-dropping verbal slip at the NATO summit in Ankara on Wednesday, telling reporters that the “Islamic Republic of Japan” had fired more than 100 missiles at a U.S. aircraft carrier as he touted the effectiveness of Patriot missile defense systems.

1. I was about to say, I didn't realize there was such a contingent in Japan.

But, no, looks like it's just another in a long list of Trump fuck-ups that would have our corporate media demanding a doctor's clean bill of health and/or resignation if an elderly Democratic president were to make such a mistake.

2. he also confused Zelensky, whom he was seated next to, and the Ukrainian president's enemy, Putin

....when he asked reporters if they had “a question for President Putin,” prompting the room to erupt in laughter, at which point Trump attempted to recover by repeating the prompt and suggesting he’d take the reporter’s question to the Russian leader.

6. Dementia Alert! Why is a Blob with No Redeeming Qualities Doing an Extremely Poor

Imitation of a human being allowed to stagger around and cause harm to actual humans? We used to find a way to manage this mania.

I'm having to revisit my life-long opposition to capital punishment.

[Justice matters.]

15. Crypto Pedo is like a 3-year-old playing with bombs...

No offense to all 3-year-olds who never play with bombs.

11. Japan should be very worried...

Hegseth will bomb Japan before correcting dear leader

12. Wonder how he'll explain away his Iran/Japan comment tomorrow?

[videohead5]

14. And MAGA defends Trump

By saying that he works so hard. Yeah, sure. at what? making everything worse.

[gordianot]

16. Give grandpa a break he's only one syllable law.

Mostly people have a clear understanding of what causes this!

[spanone]

17. Imagine if Joe Biden had said that on the world stage?

The media is ignoring trmps non-stop insanity.

[31j20b3]

18. What physiological fault produced that? Was he reading from a teleprompter

with eyes that cannot see?

Is his brain so fucked by dementia he's now just substituting any-old-word with a similar ending?

[MustLoveBeagles]

20. I didn't know Japan had 111 missles

Us being at war with them again is news to me.
