Is Trump Hallucinating? Watch the Former President* Trip Out in Bizarre, Nonsensical Mar-a-Lago Speech

New York Attorney General Letitia James has been the bane of Donald Trump’s existence for at least three years. If there is one person on Earth who you would think a name would come rolling off Trump’s tongue… eww.

Try that again; if there is one person whose name Trump would know within microseconds in his amygdala, saliva, and colon, it would be A.G. Letitia James.

And yet, Thursday night, he couldn’t even do that right. This is part of a pattern now: Trump butchering names. To be sure, if you give enough talks at enough events, you’ll make some mistakes, but the name of your Lex Luther?

He called her Letitia “Jones.” Despite the fact that Trump clearly got his D.A. Alvin Bragg mixed up with his A.G. Letitia James, and thus got the genders wrong, that’s more forgivable than the name.

“They put him into the state of New York and then ultimately into the D.A.’s office to run the case. This is being run by [President Joe] Biden.

“They put a man into the state … Letitia Jones. Peekaboo, I call her. Peekaboo. They put a man into that one, Letitia, they put a man into that one to run it and then he went into the D.A.’s office,” Trump said.

James, Jones – It would be quite the competition as to which is the bigger faux pas, the one Trump made or the one made by any NBA player mixing the names. As for the nickname, “Peekaboo,” – you just know it’s racial, but to be racial, one sort of has to pick up how it is racial, so that’s a bit of a fail there – though a good one.

Let’s just throw something out there. Trump’s doctor submitted a three-paragraph letter attesting to Trump’s health just last week. Is it possible that Trump’s health is slipping?

We want to be careful because we spent four long years with Trump in the White House thinking that his health was going downhill, assured by many on the net – none of whom seemed to be right. Then again, the KFC-loving 77-year-old overweight guy can’t have that good genes. (We never see him in jeans anyway, so how would we know?)

Yes, James, Jones – it’s not like mixing “Dick” and “Johnson,” but still… Oh, and then mixing genders, though that’s more who is prosecuting him and who is just taking $400 million from him.

Hey, which one is he angrier at? JAMES – perhaps he can’t bring himself to say her name anymore?

Interesting question, isn’t it?
