Nothing to see here...just a diminished old felon. The hero of the MAGA dipshit universe

‘Confused’ Trump, 79, Called Out for Imagining Hegseth Live on Fox

President Donald Trump was mocked Friday for appearing to believe Pete Hegseth had made a live appearance that morning on Fox News.
“Secretary of War Pete Hegseth was great on Fox News this morning,” the avid television-watcher said of the former Fox News co-host in a 9:36 a.m. Truth Social post. “Talking about modern weapons and warfare. Thank you also to Brett Velicovich, who really knows his ‘stuff.’ We are really on our way. MAGA!”

Hegseth, whose title is still Secretary of Defense despite Trump considering bringing back the other term, did not appear live on Fox News. His official schedule for Friday notes he is traveling.
Rather, the right-wing network showed a clip that Hegesth had posted on his official X account the day prior.

In the video, which appears to have been removed and then re-uploaded Friday, Hegseth is on the front lawn of the Pentagon to announce that he had ordered the fast-track production and deployment of drones, several of which hover near him. One delivers him the memo, which he signs.
Fox aired a portion of that clip four times from when live programming began at 5 a.m. Friday until Trump’s post: once on Fox & Friends First, twice on Fox & Friends, and once on America’s Newsroom at 9:15 a.m. In each instance, the network clearly indicated the video was from Thursday.
The apparent mistake quickly made the rounds online.

“Imagine. If. It. Was. Biden,” Zeteo editor-in-chief Mehdi Hasan wrote with emphasis on X, alluding to Fox’s wall-to-wall coverage of the former president’s age-related gaffes.
“Perhaps a confused Trump thought it was live,” journalist Aaron Rupar wrote.

The X account Republicans Against Trump added critically that the 79-year-old president’s “cognitive decline is getting hard to ignore.”

None of this criticism seemed to bother Hegseth, though. On his personal X account, the Defense Secretary reposted a screenshot of the president’s comment that the DOD Rapid Response team shared approvingly, as evident by not one, not two, but three American flags.

... Why is this so hard for you to understand?

Rather obvious that President Trump didn't see the clip until
FOX aired it Friday morning. ... Which is why He said what he said.

... It's really NOT that complicated, mate... No need to make it so.

Did you have some super insider knowledge you'd like to share? How do you know when he saw it? Something obvious to you certainly isn't obvious to everyone. What is obvious is that you simply aren't capable of recognizing any failure of your orange cult leader.

I agree with you on one thing: It doesn't seem complicated at all. He's suffering from dementia and is a functional retard.

I didn’t see the clip but your analysis sounds spot on Salty. Hegseth WAS on Fox News on Friday morning.

Electing soon to be octogenarians as presidents isn’t the smartest thing in the world. That said, IF he has dementia he’s dealing with it better than Biden. He’s repeated himself and had tortured syntax for many years, and it’s just gotten worse. Yes, he’s definitely not as sharp as he used to be. However, as to “functional retard”, that’s over the top.

Right now, unlike Biden, Trump’s calling the shots. At such time as he’s not, I hope power falls into the hands of people like Scott Bessent. If Peter Navarro and Stephen Miller start running the show we’ll be in worse hands than during the Biden years.

I’m not happy with the tariffs, the way the USA is going about the deportations, and the sudden cuts in foreign aid to truly needy people. I wasn’t happy either with the inflation igniting American Rescue Plan, the corporate pork, and the attempt to kneecap domestic oil and gas (overturned by the courts and political reality) during Biden’s term.

The difference is that I don’t think Biden when he was 60 would have done those things, except for ladling out the pork. They were engineered by the people around him. Trump’s always been a true believer, in the tariffs at least, although I do suspect the immigrant eviction scheme has gotten out of hand because of Slimy Stephen Miller. Anyway, for better or worse, Trump’s still firmly in charge.

I do not believe Trump is firmly in charge of his bodily functions. And there has been plenty evidence of that.

Lol! Links please? I’d prefer something from Fox, the New York Post or Newsmax. However CNN, the NYT, or even MSNBC or the Guardian would be acceptable

He is compromised

Touché. My question, how do we know it wasn’t Alina Habba and not Trump? My freshman economics professor used to take dictation from LBJ while the president was taking a dump. Being the leader of the free world, or ex leader, has its privileges.

I agree with some of what you're saying and appreciate the nuance that exists when comparing the shit they did with Biden and the trump administration. We should have an upper age limit for all politicians along with term limits all the fucking way down the the dog catcher.

The far lefties are just as corrupt as MAGAts in my opinion, but they don't have the same level of hatred for the less fortunate...so I tend to lean their way. I will never understand why the left picks out the silliest, most minority concerning shit to make their platform.

For example: Stopping transsexual men from participating in women's sports is NOT controversial to most Americans. "Defund the police?" Can you pick out a stupider fucking idea? They could have gone with "reform the police" but nope. They're just about as stupid as MAGA.

Anyway, back to bashing on the orange cunt, because he's the one with the party holding all the levers. Can't keep blaming the dems for everything.

Always the whataboutism. Yes, Biden was pretty much a soup sandwich at the end. But does that mean it's ok to have a mentally diminished moron in charge? I guess so long as it's a MAGA moron that's fine? lol
