President Donald Trump, the leader of the US in a new mission-less war with Iran, has been making a significant difference in his cognitive skills in recent days. He has boasted of a conversation with a former president that doesn't seem to have happened, forgotten the gender of two world leaders, including one he helped put in place, and used a bizarre three-word motto used by a New York City energy company in the 1950s. During a news conference on March 16, he mentioned other countries assisting America in the Strait of Hormuz, but claimed that he no longer ‘need’ or desire them. The next day, he posted on social media that he did not need NATO countries' assistance due to their military success.
