    I would have thought that he would have been provided an executive summary as a read-ahead by his staff, prior to attending these significant events. And not necessarily to insult a president’s intelligence, but, for the sake of “refreshing” historical knowledge, and to be somewhat relevant during conversations and speeches.

    Other examples of his speech blunders include the one to the Boy Scouts and the one in front of the wall memorializing CIA agents who lost their lives in the line of duty.

    Trump ranting about the Presidential Records Act, which he mistakenly thinks was written with the prime purpose of protecting presidents.


    READ: Transcript of CNN's town hall with former President Donald Trump | CNN Politics

    excerpt:

    "TRUMP: And nobody talks about him. They talk about us.

    Just so you understand, I had every right to do it. I didn’t make a secret of it. You know, the boxes were stationed outside of the White House. People were taking pictures of the GSA and the various people that were moving–

    COLLINS: I got to stop you right there, though, because the Presidential Records Act, which is not well-known to a lot of people, I read it. It does not say that you can take documents with you.

    It says, actually, that they are the property of the federal government when you leave.

    TRUMP: It says you – it says you talk, you negotiate, you make a deal.

    It’s not criminal, by the way, not – it’s –

    COLLINS: It does – it does not say that you can negotiate.

    TRUMP: The Presidential Records Act is not criminal. And just so you know–

    COLLINS: It does not say you can negotiate to take the documents with you.

    TRUMP: Just so you – can I tell you, just so you understand, the Presidential Records Act is not criminal.

    I took the documents. I’m allowed to. You know who else took them? Obama took them. Nixon took them. Reagan took them.

    COLLINS: Obama did not take documents.

    TRUMP: Oh, he didn’t? He didn’t?

    COLLINS: The difference here that I would like to note –

    TRUMP: Take a look.

    Reagan took them.

    COLLINS: The National Archives says that President Obama did not documents."

    Trump sounded sheepish when he was asked if he showed the classified documents at Mar-a-Lago to anyone.

    He usually answers such a question with a bold, absolute proclamation.


    READ: Transcript of CNN's town hall with former President Donald Trump | CNN Politics

    excerpt:

    "COLLINS: And I should note that there is a special counsel investigating your document situation, also President Biden’s document situation.

    When it comes to your documents, did you ever show those classified documents to anyone?

    TRUMP: Not really. I would have the right to. By the way, they were declassified after–

    COLLINS: What do you mean not really?

    TRUMP: Not – not that I can think of."

    There should be a law that prevents mentally challenged people from running for public office.

    During the CNN town hall, Trump was still denying that Miller said he never received an order from Trump for 10,000 troops at the Capitol.


    READ: Transcript of CNN's town hall with former President Donald Trump | CNN Politics

    excerpt:

    "COLLINS: Well, Chris Miller was your acting defense secretary. He says you never gave that order.

    But back to what happened on that day, he said you weren’t…

    TRUMP: He did not say that.

    COLLINS: You – he has testified that, Mr. President.

    TRUMP: He did not say that."

    The GOP in Texas is fearful of the changing demographics and is resorting to selective election control of Harris County.

    Trump won the 2020 Texas election by about 5.5% (not by a landslide that he is still claiming).
