    Listening to this for the first time, and I don’t hear him say he’s the black woman. He starts saying something, then changes mid sentence and says, “like I said, the first black woman vice president, served with a black president, first black woman chief justice”. Are you saying he says he’s also the first black woman chief justice? There’s legitimately many concerning things he has said due to his mental issues, but this is just nitpicking.

      Except that’s not what he said. His exact words were:

      I’m proud to be, as I said, the first Vice President…the first black woman, to serve with a Black President.

      Now, do I think that means he was so confused he thought he was the country’s first Vice President, and also a black woman who served with the first black President? No, obviously he meant that he was the Vice President to the first black President, and was President with the first black woman to be Vice President.

      But do I think this is another example of him being unable to follow a train of thought long enough to complete a coherent sentence? Absolutely, yes.
