'I'm leading Obama by a lot': Donald Trump appears to get his political rivals mixed up, warns of World War II
www.abc.net.au
Speaking to religious leaders in Washington, the presumptive Republican nominee for next year's US presidential election questions Joe Biden's cognitive ability, but gets mixed up when talking about world wars and his political rivals.

Mr Trump made the gaffe about the threat of World War II — which finished in 1945 — during the part of his address in which he was questioning the mental acuity of 80-year-old Mr Biden.

    Here’s the citation:

    “The radical left thugs have weaponised law enforcement to arrest their leading political opponent … leading by a lot … including Obama,” he said before catching the error and trying to get back on track but appearing to forget that it was Hillary Clinton he beat in the 2016 presidential election.

    “I’ll tell you what … you take a look at Obama and you look at some of the things that he’s done, this is the same thing, the country was very divided and we did with Obama, we won an election they said that couldn’t be won.”

    It made no sense to me, I thought I was used to how this guy speaks. I listened to the video. It’s the same thing. makes no sense.
