    27 times Trump can’t remember

    Following the release of the redacted Mueller report, President Donald Trump’s lawyers provided the full transcript of Trump’s written answers to questions Mueller posed to the president during his investigation.

    More than two dozen times, Trump’s answers included phrases like “I can’t remember” or “I do not recall." Trump’s lawyers took issue with Mueller’s questions, saying they invited “speculative answers” because they were based on “brief interactions” that took place more than two years earlier during “an extraordinarily eventful and fast-paced presidential election campaign.” The lawyers said that the questions, many of them pertaining to alleged communications with foreign operatives, would be “burdensome” for any person to remember, let alone the president of the United States.

    Following are the 27 things Trump couldn’t recall. The full letter, questions and answers can be found here.

    Defenders of all things Don, don't bother answering. I already know the answer. Everything the Orange Rapist does is excused or just goes down the memory hole. Soon, you'll forget all about how he said Russia should be able to do what ever it wants to NATO countries who have not met their financial obligations.

    Trying to compare "I don't recall" to confusing world leaders, banging into walls, walking in completely wrong direction? In the words of your buddy Joe - "COME ON MAN!!!!"

    I agree that Trump is a whacko whose mental capacity has diminished, yet his mental collapse is nowhere near as bad as Biden who forgets that his son didn't die in Iraq! Daily, Biden makes such gaffes, thus I we desperately need to get rid of both. This election should be Newsom vs Haley, not dementia moron vs dementia moron.

    If anything, RFK Jr is the only candidate that can at least remember and not fall for a party telling them what to repeat. Well, Trump has whacko opinions so I don't think he listens to anybody.

    What's up with the double standard?

    Because both sides are ok with THEIR guy having diminished mental capacity. BOTH sides are guilty of a double standard. It's a sheep mentality

    And Hillary, in similar circumstances, said I don't recall or I don't remember nearly forty times. We can all play what about. Note that in sworn testimony if you want to be Scooter Libby'd and you think there is any chance you might have remember incorrectly a year or two after the event you say I don't recall.

    It's because liberals are trying to compare a clearly compromised Biden to someone who makes normal gaffes. Just google "Obama Gaffes, Bush Gaffes, Etc..." and you will see gaffes comparable to Trump's. Biden is completely gone mentally and the only defense democrats have at the moment is the old "WELL HE SAID IT TOO" defense.

    Don't you think they need to find some evidence he committed a crime first?

    Not being able to remember the answers to Mueller's questions are mental gaffes?

    Trump: “I do not recall being aware during the campaign of communications between Donald Trump, Jr., Paul Manafort, or Jared Kushner and any member or representative of the Agalarov family, Robert Goldstone, Natalia Veselnitskaya (whose name I was not familiar with), or anyone I understood to be a Russian official. “

    […]

    “I have no recollection of learning at the time that Donald Trump, Jr., Paul Manafort, or Jared Kushner was considering participating in a meeting in June 2016 concerning potentially negative information about Hillary Clinton. Nor do I recall learning during the campaign that the June 9, 2016 meeting had taken place, that the referenced emails existed, or that Donald J. Trump, Jr., had other communications with Emin Agalarov or Robert Goldstone between June 3, 2016 and June 9, 2016.“

    So which is it ? Is the Orange Stain's memory of his past criminal activity fading or is he deliberately trying to conceal his crimes ?
    And how many times has he confused world leaders IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS ? Like those of Turkey and Hungary ? North Korea and China ? Merkel and Kohl ?

    The Orange Stain needs to be institutionalized.
    COME ON MAN!!!!

    Trump is a sociopath. Probably senile too. So far, the Orange Stain is being prosecuted and has yet to claim mental defect.
    I guess that means he's competent to stand trial. Right ?

    Oh, and explain Trump's mental confusion please, if you can...... GO !!!!

    PROBABLY senile? Thats how senility is determined in your mind? You are NOT making the left look good right now and I LOVE IT! Please make more replies like this.
    YOU LOSE! The thing is here, you can't say Trump is too senile to be president but NOT too senile for prosecution but it appears you are trying to say this applies to joe. (talk about epic failure)
    DEFEND IT!
    Ready...........GO!!!

    You wish you touched a nerve. All you did was prove the flaws in the failed point you tried to make.
    You want trump to be prosecuted because you know he's mentally capable but want to try and say it isn't enough for the presidency, yet, you want Joe to NOT be prosecuted because of his SENILITY but still think he should serve?
    If you can't see the flaw in your logic or the irony then you might not be up to the task of debating with me (kind of like how biden is not up to debating trump)
    Please touch some more nerves! I want to see your explanation.

    READY.............GO!!!!!

    The president was also less than fully cooperative regarding Mueller’s interview requests, the report states.

    The special counsel’s office sought an interview with the president for “more than a year,” getting written responses in late November 2018. “[O]n more than 30 occasions” Trump said he “does not ‘recall’ or ‘remember’ or have an ‘independent recollection’” in response to questions, while other answers were “incomplete or imprecise,” the Mueller report says.

    The special counsel’s office told the president’s counsel that the written format was inadequate and didn’t give investigators an “opportunity to ask follow-up questions that would ensure complete answers and potentially refresh your client’s recollection.” But the president declined another request for an in-person interview.

    Mueller’s team considered a subpoena, but they were concerned with the delay that would cause. Plus, “at that point, our investigation had made significant progress and had produced substantial evidence for our report.”

    So 2019? Do you have any post from that time period questioning Trump's mental facilities due to this report? Or did you just come up with this line of reasoning as Biden's mental facilities have declined?
