Mental acuity

Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission:

“Every single child has to go back to its family. This should be one of our main priorities also in these negotiations, to make sure that the children come back to Ukraine to their families.”

And the current occupant replied:

“Thank you, and we did. I was just thinking we’re here for a different reason, but we just a couple weeks ago made the largest trade deal in history, so that’s a big, that’s a big thing, and congratulations, that’s great. Thank you very much, Ursula.”

See also the current occupant failing to register that Alexander Stubb, president of Finland, was sitting right in front of him.
