        I don’t know if he’s the most powerful leader in the world (after all, another leader tells him what to do) but he does sit on the most expensive military and one of the largest economies.

          I would argue that that would put him in the running for “most powerful”. If for no other reason, he’s very powerful since he can destroy a lot of the world if he wants to…

        he knows, he just isn’t saying.

        “It’s impossible for him not to know what the MRI was focused on. He can choose not to say. But it doesn’t pass the smell test to say he had no idea,” Mr Cillizza said.

          He has no memory of the MRI or even seeing the doctor. People around him talk about a thing that happened and he makes up a story about it because he has no idea what they are talking about.

            possibly… or he doesn’t want to tell the public about his health problems so he can seem stronger….
            he’s definitely fading mentally but i think he would remember an MRI machine… it’s not a simple process

              he doesn’t want to tell the public about his health problems so he can seem stronger

              So either he doesn’t remember the MRI, or his actual condition is worse than people thinking he does not remember the MRI.
