    Ramin Setoodeh, co-editor-in chief at Variety, said he did an hour long sit-down interview with Trump

    A few months later, Setoodeh met with Trump again… Trump had “no recollection of our lengthy interview,”

    Setoodeh said. “As the journalist who spent the most time with him,”

    Yeah, sure you are little buddy. Because no other journalist got more than 2 interviews. MF had Megan Kelly and Tucker on speed dial.

    TFW you’re really just a forgettable person.

      I have questioned Trump’s cognitive abilities. He’s definitely declined mentally over the last 30 years.

      But you’re absolutely right on this. These people meet hundreds or thousands of people daily and do lots of interviews. It’s not surprising at all.

      Maybe you have a memory as bad as Trump’s, because if I spent two hours with someone one-on-one and then saw them just a few months later, I’d remember them.

      Here’s what you’re ignoring.

      A good executive has a staff that reminds him of these things. Even if it was a brief meeting, Trump should have been aware that he’d had a sit down with them before.

      Either Trump was reminded and forgot, or he’s too incompetent to set up a basic system like this.
