[45] tells Fox that parents of soldiers killed in the Korean War asked him on the campaign trail to bring their sons home. (Absolute minimum age of such a parents is 101 years old. Probable age 110 to 120.)
2/ [Show Your Work] Korean War ends in 1953. Minus 18 years is 1935 (birth of KIA soldier). Minus another 18 years is 1917 (birth of bereaved parent). Ergo a spry 101 years old.

So of course it would be possible for parents to still be alive, since they'd probably be only in their 60s. And then he hallucinated that the parents of soldiers killed in the Korean War that was shown contemporaneously on M*A*S*H begged him during the campaign to bring their sons home from their unmarked graves near Hollywood.

The last time Gramps could've talked to Trump would've been in 1993, when he was 90.
So yes, Trump's an obvious liar.But what bothers me more is he has no idea when the Korean War happened.
Stable genius, my ass.

Why, you'd almost think he had graduated from a school system developed by Betsy DeVos.
The gravitas of this administration just gives me goosebumps!
Or maybe that's just a fight or flight reaction...
