Contextually, there's no indication he had confused Mattel with a country, likely just said the word because of speech habit when talking about tariffs. To think he confused it, you'd have to subscribe to the idea he thinks it's a country that makes toys and is run by an executive, or had an ear piece correct him mid-sentence.

He fucks up multiple times a day. There's much more low-hanging fruit than this. Come on, peeps.

He's 100% cognitive. Problem is, he's stupid.

Both can be true.

I wonder if he thinks Barbieland from the Barbie movie is the country of Mattel 🤔

This one isn't so bad. Simple misspoken word. Meant to say "company" not "country." He referenced their "CEO" a moment later.

Literally a zillion valid thing to complain about Trump. This was nothing.

No shit, that's why he signs whatever they put in front of him, and project 2025 has been followed almost to a T. He doesn't give a crap about anything in project 2025. But he's mentally in lala land and they've been hiding his declining health for a while.

They haven't been hiding it well. His dementia was apparent even in 2016.

It's not just dementia anymore. That's just a symptom, whatever it is has progressed a lot.

My brother in law, without skipping a beat: "obviously he meant Micronesia"

My reply, apparently not enough to get a response: "So you're okay with a president who's so cognitively vacant he can't tell the difference between two very different sounding words?"

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

was totally unaware that fsm was a toy manufacturing powerhouse.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

As well as the fact Micronesia is also not a country...

Man thought the Barbie movie was a documentary and is ready to nuke the country Mattel for making a woke movie in their country.
