SiriusXM Progress host Michelangelo Signorile is questioning Donald Trump's "cognitive decline" after he appears to have forgotten a potential nominee for Treasury Secretary.

Trump spoke with Bloomberg earlier this month and agreed that JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon could be a potential candidate for the position.

The reporter at Bloomberg asked the question twice whether Dimon would be a candidate for Treasury Secretary, and Trump said that "he is somebody that I would consider, sure."

"He [Dimon] was at the [GOP] meeting."

In a post on Truth Social this week, Trump denied he commented.

"I don’t know who said it, or where it came from, perhaps the Radical Left, but I never discussed, or thought of, Jamie Dimon or Larry Fink for Secretary of the Treasury,” Trump said. Fink is the CEO of the BlackRock investment firm.

As they fucking should.

And not because the same was done to Biden, though the silly geese on the blue side seem to only care about retribution here.

There's a basic, important principle here that the president absolutely needs to have a working brain. Biden and Trumps' brains are doing what old brains do, and there's no shame in it, but they are walking examples as to why we need an age limit for the presidency.
