President Individual-1 calls CEO of Apple "Tim Apple"

[Absentee Voting Ghost of Ruin]

The president just called the CEO of Apple ‘Tim Apple’

Tim Cook is a pretty well-known figure in the business world. I know a lot of people don’t care about computers and that’s fine, but if you’re in the industry or having some sort of professional interaction with him, I have to think people usually know his name going in.

And yet, at an American Workforce Policy Advisory Board meeting today, the president pretty unmistakably called Tim Cook “Tim Apple.”

At first I thought I was just hearing things? Then I thought it might have been part of a trailing sentence like “Thank you Tim... Apple is doing great.” But no, he stops pretty abruptly after saying Apple, and it really sounds like he thinks that’s the last name.

I think the owner of the Trump corporation seems to think that all companies must be named after the person who runs it?

Meanwhile Mike Pence had to keep himself from lurching at Cook with a pair of jumper cables.

I think this is the same speech where he states his belief that F-35s are literally invisible (a sentiment he has repeated several times).

I wonder if 'Die Hard' is Trump's favorite actor.

 Trump just denied saying this. Said it was "fake news" and you just couldn't hear him say Cook.

[PSOL]

It’s been clear for a while now that Trump is suffering from early-stage Dementia. From the famed impersonator wondering what happened to him, to his flag misstep, now this is just more evidence under the heap.

Guess we shouldn't be surprised if General Electric is named the new Sec of Defense.

Vice President Individual-1 spells potato, "potatoe" « on: June 15, 1992, 2:30:09 pm »At a recent spelling bee of elementary school students, & long after formally spelling potato, I quickly expressed my excitement for spelling by saying "Potato...Eee!" as an easy way to save time & words. The Fake News was disparagingly all over this, & it became yet another bad Quayle story!

I think of it as one more pebble in the barrel of "yes, Trump is mentally incompetent".

Sure, any specifjc incident can be waved away, but the pattern is looking pretty bad for putting him on trial a couple of years down the road.

And one more Pebble in the Republicans will back him regardless of how mentally incompetent he is.

It's also yet another example of how much of a pathological liar he is. His responses have been centered around trying to pretend he didn't say this ("I said Cook really, really quiet and fast right after Tim") or justifying that he was just trying to save time (right, Mr. 6+ hours """executive time""" is so busy he needs to mangle his sentences to save time).

Personally, I think a person's willingness to constantly lie about such trivial little things, even in the face of undeniable proof, is a major indictment of their character.
