While he loves to chide President Joe Biden about “mental fitness” and ability to do to the job of leading the most powerful nation on the planet, remarks made by failed former president Donald Trump suggest that he doesn’t even know what month and year he’s currently living in.
Campaigning in South Carolina today, Trump said that he would defeat Biden in the 2024 election, which he suggested is just five months away.
Fact-check: Election Day 2024 is over 13 months from taking place and will be held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024.
“We did phenomenally here,” Trump claimed. “We’ve always done well here, and we’re going to do it at a level that nobody has ever seen. So we broke the record twice. We’re going to break it a third time. We’re going to break our own record. So less than five months from now, we’re going to defeat crooked Joe Biden. We’re going to take back our country and we’re going to make America great again.”
Trump also went off on bizarre tangent about Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), according to Mediaite.
“Another man who’s always there, he’s always — I’ll tell you what. When I need help on the left, he’s great. He’s great, and he’s my friend, too. Lindsey Graham, wherever you are. Lindsey?” began Trump to a cacophony of boos at a campaign rally in Summerville, South Carolina.
“Oh no, no!” shouted Trump back at the crowd. “He helps me on the left. We need help sometimes. Republicans shouldn’t need help on the left, but he helps me.”
Trump and Graham both belong in prison, although that would probably be a dream come true for the South Carolina senator.
