This is dementia right here. I know he's always been incoherent and rambling, but it's getting worse.

And the whole thing with the Time Man Of The Year award...

First, why does it matter? It's a stupid award they give out to celebrities and politicians, often over silly things. If your whole identity hinges on a Time award or how big your rally sizes are or how much money you can steal from people, and not on trying to treat others with respect and kindness, then you are utterly lost.

Second, I looked it up on Wikipedia and it wasn't 20 years ago. It was 8 years ago, in 2016. It was when he became president, because they always seem to award the new president with MOTY. He didn't win it before that. He's probably thinking of the fake Time magazine cover someone made him and which he has on his wall in Mar-a-Largo.

Third, what the flying fuck is he taking about regarding the car business? I swear reading it hearing him talk comes close to giving me an aneurysm.

Years ago I saw a TV drama where a student is having a hard time reading. The teacher figures out that the kid can read single words, but is too intimidated by entire pages to finish. The teacher gets an index card and cuts out a rectangle in the middle; the rectangle is the size of ten letters in a row. The kid uses the tool until they figure out that they can actually read pages.

The point of the story is that I need a similar index card to read Trump quotes; the whole thing all at once is too much for me.

I don't understand why people follow him; he can't even make a string of coherent sentences.

Was maybe 20 years ago. People said it wasn't true. But I swear to you.

I was also named person of the year. Maybe 20 years. Maybe 19. Possibly 18. But maybe 20. Who knows. That's the thing. Nobody knows. They say "you" weren't person of the year. But that's a lie.

I don't understand how every single Nightly News broadcast doesn't have a segment where they just play a clip from him that day look at the camera bewilderedly and then just shrug and say moving on..

Just show the American people what a fucking crazy person he is. I mean I know why they don't, don't get me wrong I understand intellectually. I get the sickeningly ulterior motives. So I don't know what I'm really asking here, I'm just sad.

English Translation:

"Let me explain a situation that occurred about 20 years ago in this area. I was honored as Man of the Year by a local group. When the media heard about this, they claimed it never happened. At first, I couldn't recall which organization had given me the award, but I was certain it had occurred.

During the award ceremony, I gave a speech addressing the decline of the local car industry. I questioned why the community was allowing their automotive business to be taken away. At the time, I didn't know all the details, but I was aware that the local car industry was suffering.

The media continued to deny that this event ever took place. However, someone eventually came forward, saying they remembered it. We then found evidence, including the award itself, proving that the event did indeed happen. The ceremony was real, and I did give that speech about the car industry, which was considered quite controversial at the time."

Here is part of Mr. Trump’s answer, verbatim:

“So pretty much, as we’ve been saying — and what I want to do is, I want to be able to — look your business. Years ago in this area, I was honored as the Man of the Year. Was maybe 20 years ago, and the fake news heard about it. They said, ‘It never happened. It never happened.’ And I didn’t know who it was. It was a group that honored me as Man of the Year. The fakers back there — see the fake news — but they said, they said, Oh. And they looked at it, you know, they said it never happened. But I said, ‘I swear to you, it happened. It did happen.’

“I was Man of the Year, and I came and I made a speech and said, ‘Why do you allow them to take your car business away? Why do you allow it to happen? They’re taking your business away.’ And I didn’t know too much about — all I know is they were taking your car industry away from you. They said it never happened, and lo and behold, somebody said, ‘I remember the event,’ and then we found out, and we had everything. We got the awards. We had everything. It did happen, but I gave a speech, which at the time was pretty controversial …”
