What did I just read???

Yes, it is real (there is a video, but I didn’t watch it) …

Edited to add:

so, for my sins, i went to the original post to see if there was some kind of context in the video that i might have been missing, but, no, it’s this picture of fess parker over the davy crockett theme song for two minutes and change. i’ve got nothing, the president has oatmeal brains.

Or, another circuit is rotted through from the dementia.
I honestly can't tell anymore, and maybe that's a tell in and of itself...if he starts telling the truth on a regular basis, we will know his end is near lol..

he is deep in the throes of dementia-related deterioration. This is fucking lunacy. (No, I don't mean that Rep. Crockett's success isn't something to be proud of. But, coming from that racist, misogynistic asshole...it's cray-cray.)

He has no clue who that woman is and posts a tune from the Disney Davy Crockett TV show. Maybe he wants her to go to Iran and do for Iran what Davy Crockett did for the Alamo.

the POTUS going batshit crazy. One of the things the fictional POTUS proposed was uniting the United States, Canada and the Nordic countries as one known as Aspen. What was once fiction is now real life.

... as a kid back in the mid-fifties. I suspect that the raccoon population took a hit because those hats were so popular!
My father illustrated a Little Golden Book about Davy Crockett that I'm looking at right now. Cost 25¢ back then.
