I’ve read analyses of this (mostly yon Twitter) that this kind of error betrays dementia, cognitive impairment, etc. But I think it just shows Trump doesn’t recognize the concept of duty, and after he read “first” and saw the “y” he jumped to “Lady “ because the printed word made no sense to him. That, and had to escape for he import of that sentence: that someone, anyone, is more important than him and what he wants."This is Melania -- told me this. Can you believe this?" The crowd is now cheering for this supposed advice from Melania. I've never seen a more elaborate Trump attempt to pretend he didn't make a reading error. https://t.co/eg8t8BEW6G— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) February 29, 2020
"I would like to say 'This book is written to the glory of God', but nowadays this would be the trick of a cheat, i.e., it would not be correctly understood."--Ludwig Wittgenstein
"Talk to me about the truth of religion, and I'll listen gladly. Talk to me about the duty of religion and I'll listen submissively. But don't come talking to me about the consolation of religion or I shall suspect that you don't understand."--C.S. Lewis
