There has been a lot of speculation about the mental capacities of President Donald Trump. We know that he is impulsive and inarticulate, but does he have some sort of memory disorder, too?
Some of Trump’s most fervent followers are starting to think he’s forgotten all about them, and all about what he promised them during the campaign.
In yesterday’s appearance before Muslim leaders in Saudi Arabia, Trump gave a robotic, cautious speech. He stuck to his script, but that script was not what his followers wanted to hear.
The man behind the famous Muslim ban backed off of his attacks on Barack Obama for not using the phrase “radical Islamic terrorism.” People went crazy about that failure on social media.
A lot of liberals had fun mocking the suddenly spineless Trump. But his followers, his base, are just as angry and just as mocking.
These tweets give you an idea of how much support Trump seems to be losing with his broken promises.
On Saudi trip, Trump using 'violent extremism', not 'Islamic terrorism', bowing to the Saudi king, Rex condemning *Iran*.
What a cuck!

Trump is delivering this speech like he's been lobotomized is his way of boring the MAGA crowd into ignoring his praise for Islam.

Why didnt he say Radica Islamic Terrorism? Not once. Says Islam is a great faith – he has been neutered.

CNN saying Trump's speech sounds like Obama's 2009 speech, which would be a perfect comparison if Obama was in a coma at the time.

Well. It will be interesting to see who Trump can offend when he reads his script about Judaism. Maybe someone will think to give him a cup of coffee before he starts, and more people will stay awake.
