At this point he can say he invented the airplane and any reports to the contrary are FAKE NEWS. And his supporters, even when they know he's lying, just accept the new rewrite of history.

Hear me out. Let's tell him he already won the election, and we're even bumping the inauguration just for him, because his work will be so important. We make him a cardboard set of the Oval Office (painted gold everything) with a nice chair and desk, and a TV that only plays old Fox News clips about him. Staffers regularly bring random papers for him to sign. Mostly Del Taco orders.
And then we never have to hear about his stupid ass ever again.
I think you've just described an Alzheimer's care center. Buwhahah. Honestly appropriate.
What if we are Trump's dementia therapy? Us, the whole damn country?

They have "dementia villages", just fill it with Trump flags and have him give a speech every couple days to an audience of people who will forget what happened in 5 minutes.
This article traces the source of this particular long-time delusion / fabrication:
After Trump made the claim in 2019, Trott contacted CNN to note that at a roundtable event with automotive executives in 2017, Trump had suggested he received the “Man of the Year” award at a 2013 event in Michigan where Trott had invited him to give a speech, a Lincoln Day dinner Trott had chaired in Oakland County. At that event, Trott gave Trump a framed copy of Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address and other gifts. But Trott emphatically noted that he did not give Trump any “Man of the Year” award, nor did anyone else there.

Sorry, I see that basically all of this information was in the original article as well.
Is he talking about the 2006 time's person of the year where "you" was the person?
I don't think DonOLD is smart enough to even be aware of that but it's great...
I LOVED being person of the year in 2006 and I'm starting to think about adding it to my resume as others have done.

Either he fell asleep watching the movie below and confused it with his own reality, was inspired by it with his tactics to win elections, or Robin Williams is a time traveller.
“Man of the Year”, 2006, starring Robin Williams.
A comedian who hosts a news satire program decides to run for president, and a computerized voting machine malfunction gets him elected.
Edit: I can’t spell Williams apparently.
I think a funnier premise would be a reality TV star who gets hired for a mockumentary about a reality TV star running for President, except it's not a mockumentary and they don't tell him he actually ran for President until after he wins the election. Except it's not very funny because it's possible that's what actually happened in 2016.
“The fakers back there, see the fake news. But they said. They said, ‘Oh,’ and they looked and it, you know, they said it never happened but I said, ‘I swear to you it happened.’ It did happen, I was man of the year,” said Trump before claiming that he touched on the auto industry in his “speech.”
Totally coherent and fit to run the country. /s
Quick! Give this man the nuclear codes!
He is ramblingly lying incoherently about having a concept of a plan
So his plan is to always start rambling every time someone asks him a question. Great, awesome, fantastic, good plan.
He can't help himself. He is so delusional that he is unable to answer any question in a straightforward manner
We are days away from hearing about the onion on his belt.
I wonder if he forgot the fake Time magazine he has isn’t real?
Pee Pop really went on a ramble. He forgot the question instantly.
Well, in his defense, it wasn't about him.
Pee Pop was a bad dude
Ahhh. A real question. I'm not going to answer that. Plus, there's not even enough love for me in that question!
Maybe there was a point in time where Trump would have ignored a question because it didn’t appeal to his narcissism, but I would venture that at this point his brain is too far gone for that.
Whereas, this is young Hanlon's Razor^fade
Looks like he ran out of orange face paint about halfway through.
Man of the year. I remember it! He was being honored for inventing the question mark.
Then he accused chestnuts of being lazy
Pretty sure it was the Illinois Nazi's who called him man of the year.
"I hate Illinois Nazis..." Pushes the accelerator pedal
He's totally losing it. He was never competent for the job and he becomes even less so with each day.
And yet - this very weekend, I saw his loyalists standing out on the corner waving their stupid donnie merchandise and trying to get passing cars to honk in approval...
Trump opening his fucking mouth is the definition of a false reply.
