Donald Trump’s incoherent whiny “press conference” yesterday was such a disaster for him that even some of his wackiest supporters like Joe Rogan are now starting to distance themselves from him. Now it turns out the whole thing was even worse for Trump than it initially appeared.

During his meltdown yesterday, Trump claimed that he “went down in a helicopter” with former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, and that during the ordeal, Brown gave Trump all kinds of unspecified dirt on Kamala Harris. But afterward, Brown said that he was never even on a helicopter with Trump. Now it’s gotten even uglier.

It turns out Trump’s helicopter ride wasn’t with Willie Brown, it was with then-Governor Jerry Brown. And now Jerry Brown’s people are saying that there never was any emergency landing. So now Trump is hallucinating about a helicopter near-crash that never happened, and he’s hallucinating that it happened with Willie Brown instead of Jerry Brown, and he’s hallucinating that Willie/Jerry Brown gave him dirt on Kamala Harris.

This is yet another instance of Trump getting confused and combining people together as his dementia gets worse. He’s also done the same with Nikki Haley and Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden and Barack Obama, and Ronny Jackson and Mike Johnson. It’s not just a matter of mixing up names; Trump appears to be merging various people together into one person. It’s similar to how patients with advanced dementia combine their kids, and all the associated memories with their kids, into just one kid. Trump’s condition will only get worse.
