Trump appears to forget that Jan 6 happened on his watch as he blames Biden in late-night screed: ‘What a SCAM!’
Trump becomes latest Republican to blame Biden for events that took place while he was president
....In a Truth Social post Saturday evening, he claimed in all-caps that “the Biden FBI” supposedly “placed 274 agents into the crowd on January 6”.
“What a SCAM - DO SOMETHING!!! President DJT”, the post concluded.
Obviously, the “Biden FBI” did not exist on January 6, nor did it exist in any of the weeks or months leading up to the attack on the Capitol, when dozens of police officers were injured responding to a violent mob numbering in the thousands as rioters stormed barricades, shattered windows, defaced the hallways of the Capitol complex and battled with law enforcement around the grounds.
Some Republican senators and congressmen have also been confused as to who was president when:The president’s allies in Congress have often been dinged by the press for erroneously attacking the Biden administration for events that transpired in 2020 and the start of 2021, such as Sen. Jim Banks — who just last week wrongly insisted that the 2020 U.S. Census was “prepared by the Biden administration”. Other Republicans, in their zeal to attack Democrats and support calls for a new census, have similarly forgotten who was president that year.
The fact that Trump posted this conspiracy stuff in the wee hours of the morning, and he is so fuzzy on who was president, reminds me of my mother's behaviors as she succumbed to dementia. What does Trump expect others to do? Behavior like that plus his imaginary 'facts' that he spews convinces me he has dementia. This week he said that he had brought in $17 trillion in planned investments. No.
President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed he has secured “$17 trillion” in investment this year – or even more than that.
“We have over $17 trillion being invested now in the United States,” Trump told reporters at the White House on Tuesday. He added moments later, “We have more than $17 trillion in eight months.” On Friday, he said he thought the figure had “just cracked $18 trillion.”.....
......The White House list doesn’t show that $8.8 trillion is “being invested now in the United States” or even that there have been $8.8 trillion in credible Trump-era commitments to make eventual investments in the US. Rather, the White House list includes:
- $600 billion from “EU firms” even though the European Union has made clear that this is merely an estimate of potential private investment, not an actual commitment
- $600 billion from Saudi Arabia even though the Saudis’ vague $600 billion pledge encompasses both “investments and trade,” not simply Saudi investment in the US
- $500 billion from India even though the two countries have said the $500 billion is a goal for “bilateral trade,” not Indian investment in the US.......
He just makes stuff up. My mom would do that when dementia set it. It is either he just makes stuff up or he is lying again.
