We all know that Captain ‘Person, woman, man, camera, TV’ isn’t the full cognitive shilling, but one of his latest slip-ups has had people wondering if he’s accidentally revealing a new America Last policy.
On Friday, the Citrus Caesar will be in talks with his man crush Vladimir Putin in Alaska, but during a press conference on Monday, he twice stumbled, saying he’s going to Russia. Here’s the first time.
Trump: “I’m going to see Putin. I’m going to Russia on Friday.”

Opps, he did it again!

It had people asking questions about his mental state, what backroom deals he might have done regarding the formerly Russian state of Alaska, and why Jake Tapper hasn’t written a book about his cognitive decline like he did about Joe Biden.
Let’s dive straight in.

Trump says he’s going to Russia to meet Putin on Friday. The meeting is actually in Alaska, USA. Has he signed that over to Putin already?pic.twitter.com/QPw0ZSMkhN

Just imagine if Biden had said this:
Trump: “I’m going to see Putin. I’m going to Russia on Friday.”

Donald Trump has now confused Alaska with Russia for the second time in this press conference.
He is going to Alaska on Friday, not Russia.
Alaska is a part of the United States.

But many Russians still think Alaska is part of Russia, so this is not a good slip-up… https://t.co/x1gxCuH2oy

BREAKING: In a shocking moment, Trump forgets that he’s going to Alaska to meet Putin this week. “It’s embarrassing for me to be up here. I’m gonna see Putin. I’m going to Russia on Friday.”

Trump just said he was going to “Russia” when he was referring to his trip to Alaska.
He said it twice.
If Biden had said that even once, Fox would be calling for his removal 24/7 for the next three years straight.

He knows that Alaska is not part of Russia, right? Does he know that? It’s important to me that he knows that. https://t.co/X6mKVqvJ6s pic.twitter.com/eDcHBMlOB1
