Donald Trump got Harvard mixed up with Harlem on this TV phone-in and even for him, it’s a properly jaw-dropping listen
So we’ve passed 100 days since Donald Trump returned to the White House and so much has happened it’s frankly terrifying to wonder where he will have got to after 200.
But for a glimpse into the mind of the stable genius right now, have a watch as he responds to a question about Harvard – from which Trump has threatened to withhold funding – on a NewsNation town hall show.
And it really is quite the listen.

The looks on the presenters’ faces said it all (not that they’d dare say anything, obviously).
These people were happy to let rip, however, and quite right too.

BREAKING: In a stunning moment revealing how scrambled Trump’s brain is, he was asked by Stephen A. Smith about his fight with Harvard —and started ranting about people rioting in Harlem and how he “got a very high Black vote.” The man is mentally gone. pic.twitter.com/c2ZSKwKge1

Joe Biden would give a coherent, informed treatise on foreign policy for like an hour & then flub one single world leaders name & that was evidence that he was experiencing severe cognitive decline and had no business being president.
Anyway, glad we elected this youthful guy. https://t.co/5OnRrb3ypq

The question was about Harvard. The answer was Harlem, Black votes, and incoherence. Trump’s brain is buffering in real time.

Trump is showing classic Frontotemporal dementia symptoms when asked about Harvard. He repeatedly jumbles Harlem and Harvard in his crazy response. We are in trouble. He has to be removed.pic.twitter.com/VrFl6bd7DZ

Publicly diagnosing dementia is unethical, but leaders’ cognitive fitness IS a national security issue. If he can’t distinguish basic terms, how can he handle nuclear codes?
