Trump showed increasing signs of decline as he tried to say the word plague at a White House event, but it came out pledge.
Trump said:
Before the pledge and this is a very big factor, we have a problem that has about twenty-two different names, but I’ll just call it the plague. Before the plague struck, we have the lowest African-American unemployment, Hispanic American, and Asian American unemployment ever. We have the most jobs we ever had.”

And on and on he went citing outdated and meaningless statistics that have no reflection on the current situation that the country finds itself in, thanks to this president.

Trump wants to make the argument that Joe Biden mentally infirm and unfit for the presidency, but Trump can’t walk down a ramp, drink water, read off of a page, or use the correct words.
