“The fakers back there, see the fake news. But they said. They said, ‘Oh,’ and they looked and it, you know, they said it never happened but I said, ‘I swear to you it happened.’ It did happen, I was man of the year,” said Trump before claiming that he touched on the auto industry in his “speech.”

Totally coherent and fit to run the country. /s

Is he talking about the 2006 time's person of the year where "you" was the person?

He is ramblingly lying incoherently about having a concept of a plan

Hear me out. Let's tell him he already won the election, and we're even bumping the inauguration just for him, because his work will be so important. We make him a cardboard set of the Oval Office (painted gold everything) with a nice chair and desk, and a TV that only plays old Fox News clips about him. Staffers regularly bring random papers for him to sign. Mostly Del Taco orders.

And then we never have to hear about his stupid ass ever again.

I think you've just described an Alzheimer's care center. Buwhahah. Honestly appropriate.

They have "dementia villages", just fill it with Trump flags and have him give a speech every couple days to an audience of people who will forget what happened in 5 minutes.

So his plan is to always start rambling every time someone asks him a question. Great, awesome, fantastic, good plan.

He can't help himself. He is so delusional that he is unable to answer any question in a straightforward manner

This article traces the source of this particular long-time delusion / fabrication:

After Trump made the claim in 2019, Trott contacted CNN to note that at a roundtable event with automotive executives in 2017, Trump had suggested he received the “Man of the Year” award at a 2013 event in Michigan where Trott had invited him to give a speech, a Lincoln Day dinner Trott had chaired in Oakland County. At that event, Trott gave Trump a framed copy of Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address and other gifts. But Trott emphatically noted that he did not give Trump any “Man of the Year” award, nor did anyone else there.

Sorry, I see that basically all of this information was in the original article as well.

Pee Pop really went on a ramble. He forgot the question instantly.

I think a funnier premise would be a reality TV star who gets hired for a mockumentary about a reality TV star running for President, except it's not a mockumentary and they don't tell him he actually ran for President until after he wins the election. Except it's not very funny because it's possible that's what actually happened in 2016.

Ahhh. A real question. I'm not going to answer that. Plus, there's not even enough love for me in that question!

Hanlon’s Razor.

Maybe there was a point in time where Trump would have ignored a question because it didn’t appeal to his narcissism, but I would venture that at this point his brain is too far gone for that.

At this point he can say he invented the airplane and any reports to the contrary are FAKE NEWS. And his supporters, even when they know he's lying, just accept the new rewrite of history.

He's totally losing it. He was never competent for the job and he becomes even less so with each day.

And yet - this very weekend, I saw his loyalists standing out on the corner waving their stupid donnie merchandise and trying to get passing cars to honk in approval...

Pretty sure it was the Illinois Nazi's who called him man of the year.

Trump opening his fucking mouth is the definition of a false reply.

HuffPost was founded by four people, including Arianna Huffington, CEO of Thrive Global, and Andrew Breitbart, who also built the alt-right outlet Breitbart News. Breitbart was also instrumental in founding The Drudge Report, an early popular news site that promoted news and opinion favorable to the Republican Party, and was The Huffington Post's direct inspiration, with the focus instead on the Democratic party and 'progressive' values.
