This one isn't so bad. Simple misspoken word. Meant to say "company" not "country." He referenced their "CEO" a moment later.

Literally a zillion valid thing to complain about Trump. This was nothing.

Wow, your arms must be sore carrying all that water.

For anybody else in his position it would have been a pretty big deal. But because it is Trump and we know how he is with words (as in not at all), this is "nothing".

He's mixing Mattel and Malta...

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Contextually, there's no indication he had confused Mattel with a country, likely just said the word because of speech habit when talking about tariffs. To think he confused it, you'd have to subscribe to the idea he thinks it's a country that makes toys and is run by an executive, or had an ear piece correct him mid-sentence.

He fucks up multiple times a day. There's much more low-hanging fruit than this. Come on, peeps.

Right. Just so we're clear then, he knows Mattel is a company, and he thinks companies can impose tariffs on the USA.

And that's better?

I'unno. Watch the video. It's...somethung. Stupid as always, but didn't think Mattel was a country, that's for sure.

I wonder if he thinks Barbieland from the Barbie movie is the country of Mattel 🤔

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Its just Alzheimer's, and hes trying to talk like he thinks people doesn't see it.

His father also had it. And it is linked to both bad diet and genetics

So I guess Barbieland is part of the Axis of Evil now?

Maybe they successfully groomed a better younger asset & this one has done its part & now gets polonium garnish.
