This is dementia right here. I know he's always been incoherent and rambling, but it's getting worse.

And the whole thing with the Time Man Of The Year award...

First, why does it matter? It's a stupid award they give out to celebrities and politicians, often over silly things. If your whole identity hinges on a Time award or how big your rally sizes are or how much money you can steal from people, and not on trying to treat others with respect and kindness, then you are utterly lost.

Second, I looked it up on Wikipedia and it wasn't 20 years ago. It was 8 years ago, in 2016. It was when he became president, because they always seem to award the new president with MOTY. He didn't win it before that. He's probably thinking of the fake Time magazine cover someone made him and which he has on his wall in Mar-a-Largo.

Third, what the flying fuck is he taking about regarding the car business? I swear reading it hearing him talk comes close to giving me an aneurysm.

I mean, I of all people won Time Magazine’s Person of the Year award in 2006, and I just forgot about it until this post reminded me. It’s that insignificant, it literally does not matter.

Congratulations on your award! No doubt there was a big speech and the usual media denials?

Noting that was long enough someone could call it 20 years ago, could it be the origin story?
