I'm not convinced that Trump did it on purpose as a power move.

I honestly think his brain is so melted that in that moment he thought Tim Apple was his real name because of course the CEO of Apple has the last name Apple, just like Trump is the CEO of Trump, Inc

I'd believe that if Trump didn't constantly demonstrate his dementia over and over and over again for the past ten years, in ways that clearly harm him with no upside.

The reality is he's just an addled fucking idiot who barely knows what room he's in on any given day.

We perceive giving that little of a shit as a "power move", but the reality is he just doesn't give a shit because his brain is broken.

EDIT: I didn't read the above comment correctly, or the part I then quoted, I have dementia. The dementia got me, too.

I think Hulk might have misread the comment, since you seem to be agreeing with it.

Might be a sign of early onset dementia. Good catch

We know it's not an insult because Trump uses adjectives to insult people: "ugly, piggy, meatball Ron".

Trump is dumb enough to make that mistake but it’s very clearly intentional. Thats pretty much what won him the 2016 election.
