rump dementia fears as brain misfires

Story by Yelena Mandenberg & Jack Hobbs • 3d

... As Donald Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced that they were financing a $175 billion project to build a missile defense system, the U.S. President's word choices sparked new dementia fears.

"That's Monroe from the ... uh ... Monroe docu... document," Trump finally said.

One guy came up to me, with a tear in his eye. He said, "Sir, have you been to the Congo? It is an amazing river ride at Disney.". Next week we are going to Disney. We are riding the Congo. We will make sure they are not killing white farmers while on the ride.
