D-Day? The Russians? Hiroshima?

No, no, no.

It was the great pandemic of 1917 ... ask Trump.

Maybe an honest mistake.....but .......
If Biden had said that, it would have become an instant campaign ad.

But then again....that aside....
Where does he get that assertion from ?
That the Spanish flu ended WW1 ?

He comes up with some of this stuff on the fly.
He must drive his advisors nuts, day in and day out.

Trump forgot that it was Admiral Nimitz who put a stop to it.

Well of course. That's how Spain defeated us and renamed all the cities in the Southwest from their original English names.

I think that's the point.
Mistakenly saying WW2 instead of WW1 is excusable.
But he is just making stuff up.
And he is stupid enough to think he can get away with it.

The problem isn’t that he accidentally said WW2, the problem is that he consistantly calls it the great pandemic of 1917.

First of all, it was the great war... not the great pandemic.
Second of all, it was in 1918.

Or at least the very large pit he is currently excavating.

I was tempted to think that as well, that maybe he meant WW1. But this is a guy who said windmills cause cancer and thought Frederick Douglas was still alive.

Haven't there been books published showing the gaffs of Trump? They have to mount into the thousands by now.
And repubs have the nerve to call Biden senile.

I don't think Trump is senile just dumb. Actually, maybe senile as well.
