“The greatest memory of all time”

“The greatest memory of all time”by digby

Sure he has the greatest memory of all time. That goes without saying. But it’s not perfect.

President Donald Trump said Friday that he didn’t “remember much” about the now controversial March 2016 meeting with his foreign policy advisers, including George Papadopoulos.

In the clearest connection between the campaign and Russian efforts to meddle in the 2016 election, Papadopoulos pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about interactions with foreign officials close to the Russian government, according to court documents unsealed this week.

“I don’t remember much about that meeting,” Trump said on the South Lawn before leaving for his five-country, 12-day trip in Asia. “It was a very unimportant meeting, took place a long time, don’t remember much about it.”

I’d like to say that one of these days his bragging is going to get him into trouble but … why bother? Maybe it will and maybe it won’t but it’s quite clear that this kind of narcissism seems perfectly normal to tens of millions of Americans. So who knows? In the future everyone could be sociopathic megalomaniacs who lie as easily as they breathe. Maybe he’s in the vanguard.
