HuffPost
Ramin Setoodeh said Trump had "no recollection" of a lengthy interview they did in 2021 when they met again just a few months later.
An author who interviewed Donald Trump extensively after his departure from the White House said the former president demonstrated “severe memory issues” during their meetings.
Ramin Setoodeh, a co-editor-in-chief at Variety, appeared on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” Monday to discuss his new book, “Apprentice in Wonderland.”
Setoodeh said he interviewed Trump in person six times for the book, starting in 2021.
Over the weekend, Trump called on President Joe Biden to take a cognitive test, and then proceeded to repeatedly misremember the name of the physician who administered the test to him during his presidency. That doctor, Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas), is now a staunch Trump ally in Congress.
Pointing to the weekend incident, Setoodah commented, “Donald Trump had severe memory issues.”
