The Republican front-runner made another gaffe as he tried to explain away all his other ones.

Donald Trump’s recent memory failures sure do look like some kind of cognitive decline. In the last few months, Trump has mixed up President Joe Biden with former President Barack Obama, slurred his words, bragged about his favorite type of violent death and that he calls corn “non-liquid gold,” insisted you need voter ID to buy bread, and confused his GOP competitor Nikki Haley for California Representative Nancy Pelosi, claiming that the former failed to act during January 6.

But during a campaign rally on Wednesday, Trump had a new excuse for all that, claiming all of his short circuits are actually just sarcastic jokes.

      One could make the very technically true argument that gold can be melted, but I would laugh at that person. I would not laugh with mirth, I would laugh with disdain.

      True playas keep their gold in Bose-Einstein condensate form.

      Was he looking for the word illiquid? I’m not investing in corn futures but I’m going to laugh really hard if it gets a bump today
