Memory-loss Trump thinks Ivanka is Sri Lanka
Are there some remote anecdotal links between United States President Donald Trump and Sri Lanka? So it seems, according to newspaper columnists in the US. The beleaguered Mr Trump — whose critics have kept calling him “a bum” and a “diabolical liar” — is best known for changing his mind and reversing decisions on a split second — or “once people leave the room”.
Last week, New York Times columnist Gail Collins had a new angle. She says when Mr Trump veers wildly from one position to another, his officials think it is because of canny tactics. “Now optimists believe he’s just – really forgetful.”
In short, his continued reversal of policies, whether on migrants, terrorism or climate change, is really due to memory loss. And Collins says there are possibly days that Mr. Trump calls his oldest daughter “Sri Lanka”– not Ivanka (it rhymes well).
Meanwhile, during his presidential campaign, another New York Times columnist envisaged the landing of a space ship in Washington DC. And one of the aliens says: “Take me to your leader”. But the golf-addicted leader was out of town. He was not available, said the columnist, because “Trump was in Sri Lanka to open his new golf course.” Maybe, he will.
