During a campaign stop in South Carolina on Monday, Donald Trump confused former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush with either his brother, former President George W. Bush, or father, former President George H.W. Bush.
While recalling his victory over Jeb Bush for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016, Trump mixed up the prominent members of the Bush family.
“When I came here, everyone thought Bush was going to win,” Trump said on Monday. “They thought Bush because Bush supposedly was a military person. Great. You know what he was a mili— he got us into the, uh, he got us into the Middle East. How did that work out, right?”
During his remarks, Trump seemed to forget that Jeb Bush never served as president, nor was he ever a military person or involved in Middle Eastern conflicts.
The former president has been known to brag about having the “world’s greatest memory” and even recently challenged his 2024 presidential rivals to a “mental acuity test” of his choosing, which he claimed to have aced when taken prior.
The test that Trump took, however, was not a mental acuity test but the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, which checks for signs of cognitive impairments and dementia.
Trump was recently mocked on social media for repeatedly calling President Joe Biden “Obama.”
