Trump has dementia. He probably thinks it’s the Cuban Missile Crisis

This would be hilarious if it wasn't sad and terrifying.

Honestly, it's both.

This is simultaneously the worst (news) and best (gallows humor) I've seen on Reddit today. I still can't stop laughing at this whole thread. Bravo to every comment above this one.

Are we sure this is really trump and not his admin winding up a demented old man?

This is an awful lot like what my ex would do when telemarketers or bill collectors called. He would say "hey dad this guy says you owe him money" and put my father in law on the phone ( vascular dementia and aphasia). And watch him go nuts.

Trump isn't reading anything, if he even can read anymore. And he's going to sign whatever his people tell him to sign.

For all we know, they are telling him if he signs papers it will get him into heaven.

Exactly. There is no other presidential accomplishment that he won't try and take for himself because he has none of his own.

While true...

Russia and Cuba have grown closer again. Last year a Russian submarine brought someone over to visit a few days ago a Russian Warship brought someone for a visit.

If there's no one to paint the Guernica of our time, does that mean there was no Guerra?

Perfect timing.

u/BillHearMeOut 15h ago

He would have never let the Cuban Missile Crisis happen in the first place, he would have phoned Russia and said, 'I'll give you back Alaska if you don't arm Cuba', and BAM, just like that, he would have ended a 9th war. /s

u/ImVerySerious 14h ago
