The Orange Turd thinks he's involved with foreign policy! This is DEMENTIA!
Confused Trump Told Author He Had to Deal With 'The Afghanistan' After Leaving Office
Donald Trump continued to believe he had foreign policy authority even after leaving office, according to Variety Co-Editor-in-Chief Ramin Setoodeh who interviewed the disgraced ex-President several times for his Book, Apprentice in Wonderland: How Donald Trump and Mark Burnett Took America Through the Looking Glass, after he left office.
Trump "seemed to think that he still had some foreign policy powers," Setoodeh told CNN's Kaitlin Collins on Tuesday. "There was one day, where he told me he needed to go upstairs to deal with Afghanistan even though he clearly didn't," Setoodeh continued.
"While you were interviewing him at Trump Tower, he told you he needed to go upstairs to deal with Afghanistan," Collins asked Setoodeh.
"With 'the Afghanistan' is how he referred to it," Setoodeh replied.
Setoodeh interviewed Trump six times after he left office in 2021, primarily about his experiences as the host the reality TV show The Apprentice. Setoodeh said Trump's memory issues were so bad he couldn't even remember that he was being interviewed from one session to the next.
Trump's campaign claimed in a statement he couldn't remember Setoodeh because he was "a nobody," despite Trump approaching Setoodeh to be interviewed when he learned the book was being written.
"There was some cognitive questions about where he was and what he was thinking and he would he would from time to time become confused," Setoodeh said.

Donald Trump’s Family History With Alzheimer’s Disease
Donald Trump with his father, Fred Trump Sr., in 1986. In 1991 the elder Trump was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease.
Donald Trump has made cognitive decline a major issue in this year’s presidential race. On the campaign trail he accuses Biden of impairment, while boasting of his own brilliance.
Yet, this line of attack is nothing new. He has long accused rivals of mental frailty, weaponizing the issue of dementia for his own gain.
Washington Post investigative reporter Michael Kranish says Trump’s fixation on mental fitness came after years of watching his father’s own experience with Alzheimer’s disease.
Kranish joins Diane on today’s episode of On My Mind to discuss his recent piece about Fred Trump’s dementia, Donald Trump’s reaction to it, and what questions we should be asking of our candidates when it comes to cognitive ability.
