At first I got a kick out of this article at Crooks & Liars, in which we read the following:

Donald Trump feigned ignorance to the media over a special election in a red Texas district, he publicized and endorsed after his candidate got shellacked.

Continuing the trend of Democrats beating Republicans, even in red districts, in elections leading up to the 2026 midterms, Democrat and machinist union leader Taylor Rehmet won in a stunning upset over conservative activist Leigh Wambsganss.

Here is Trump’s Truth Social post offering huge support for Wambsganss.

Cut to Trump today, he sounded like a man confused and dumbfounded when asked about the loss in a district he had won by seventeen points in 2024.

“Somebody ran, where?” Trump asked as if he didn’t know Sunday’s date.

Trump knew all about yesterday’s special election as made clear by his TS post.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m happy about the results in Texas. But as I thought about it, it occurred to me that there’s plenty of reasons to think that Trump didn’t know about the election in Texas. I mean, give the guy a break.

First, he’s clearly suffering from dementia, so even if someone told him about the election, he probably forgot about it within minutes.

But wait, you say. What about his post on his propaganda platform? Well, I’ve been watching a lot of Hercule Poirot videos lately, and I’ve picked up on some detective techniques. Now, Trump is surrounded by people who are actually running the show. For instance, no one in their right mind could deny that it’s Stephen Miller that’s behind what we can still refer to as Trump’s Gestapo. Anyway, as Hercule would do I noticed the little clue that gave away the fact that someone else wrote that post, for it included a graphic that Trump would not have had the ability to insert into a post. He’s just not capable enough to do something like that, which requires so much time and effort. It seems fairly obvious that a lot of the posts that go out over his name are, let us say, ghost written by others. It’s not hard to copy his writing style. So, I think Trump is totally innocent of the charge that he was feigning ignorance. He was ignorant, though he might have been told that the thing was being posted. He would have forgotten all about it in no time, which would have rendered him ignorant.

I believe I have satisfied my burden of proof, and have proven that Trump is even more demented than the writer at Crooks & Liars would have you believe. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
