Trump mistakenly refers to shooting in Toledo
https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/456179-trump-mistakenly-refers-to-shooting-in-toledo
President Trump on Monday misstated the location of one of two mass shootings that occurred over the weekend during a speech condemning the violence, referring to Toledo, Ohio, instead of Dayton, Ohio.
"May God bless the memory of those who perished in Toledo, may God protect them. May God protect all of those from Texas to Ohio. May God bless the victims and their families," Trump said from the White House.

(7,947 posts)I couldn't watch (allergic to his face), but someone nearby had it on the radio, and he sounded like he always does when he's reading something he never saw before and doesn't care about-- robotic, bored.
Maybe his speechwriter put "Toledo" in there to show him up.

(268,715 posts)In other words his reading is totally disconnected from his brain. He's in a very bad place this morning - he knows he instigated this violence against Mexicans and brown people.
He also knows that his white supremacist base aren''t going to be too happy with their daddy calling them out.

I think that might be the case though.
malaise
(268,715 posts)and the hasty attempts to cover them up - this was a classic one - asinine to the max.
his brain does not function right - he has no idea where those two massacres took place - he really is incompetent and incapable of improving. I sincerely believe he is certifiably insane. He was also terrified this morning.
He has to be removed
