At a news conference Monday afternoon, President Trump nearly revealed state secrets when recounting how the United States rescued an Air Force officer after his plane was shot down in Iran.

Later, Trump’s account of the evening assignment ” was barely coherent, since it mentioned that a rescue plane was on a “fugitive-free farm” with “wet sand.”
“And it eats the planes alive, and we wait, and we say, ‘I hope there’s one that can land and take off.’ And they came like magic, boom, boom, boom, one after the other, it was like genius, so impressed by it,” Trump said.
“They came so fast and so hard, and these guys knew exactly what to do. ‘Let’s go, come on, let’s go, let’s go,’ bwah,” Trump said. deliriummimicking a plane taking off. “They came one after the other, not at the same time. They don’t want to come at the same time. They had to come one after the other. They had no place. There was almost no place to land. A very small piece of very wet dirt and sand.”
Trump: They’re waiting on this farm with no leads. Wet. Shabby floor. Sand. Mainly sand, wet sand. And he eats the planes alive, and we wait. And we say: I hope we can land and take off. And they arrived like magic, boom, boom, boom, boom, one after the other.… pic.twitter.com/tf8ZDDpcyG

Trump seemed so desperate to sell the rescue mission in movie form that he nearly divulged state secrets in the process.
“Approximately how many men did you send together for the operation?” “” Trump asked General Dan Caine in the middle of one of his rants.
“Uhhh, I’d love to keep it a secret,” Caine replied.
“There were hundreds,” Trump replied, laughing. “He’s pretty good. Is he in central casting?”
Trump’s words and actions in recent years have caused many people, including healthcare professionalsto believe that he experiences cognitive declineand it wasn’t even the first such case of the day. In the morning, alongside a person in an Easter bunny costume, he said A crowd of children at the White House for the annual Easter egg roll declared that “we have the greatest, most powerful military in the world. You saw what happened with Venezuela.”
As the president’s condition appears to worsen, will someone important—Republicans in Congress, the president’s Cabinet, or members of his family—try to rein him in for the good of the country?
