[much ado]

Yes, that explanation makes sense.

Plant? was he trying to make a link to the Four Seasons Total Landscaping

[Slim Cognito]

I wonder if one, just one, yahoo out of that entire crowd heard that and for one brief microsecond, did this.

[Foggy]

I was sent to a plant yesterday. SEVERAL plants.

Ol' Wifehorn said the gardenias needed trimming.

[bill_g]

Considering how many factories are in Uh-hi-ya, he could be making a manufacturing reference.

[Dr. Ken]

Trump: …and sent a brave young man from Ohio to a plant. Think of it. You know who the man I’m talking about is?

He couldn't remember John Glenn's name ... nor that he went to the moon, not a "plant"

I think he's talking about neil armstrong

[northland10]

He seems to refuse to write anything down for his rally speeches and especially, he does not practice them. While many politicians are really good at remembering names, not all folks are (I being one). It can even happen with well-known names (this happens in part when the brain is too busy with other things to keep the connections flowing free). Even if his speech is not written word for word, on the outline, you write down things that are easy to forget, like names or dates, or state names, though that one was weird. If you want people to not think you're losing it, don't give them an opening to find out.

Trump probably thinks that proper preparation is showing weakness and he is so good, he does not need notes. TR did not seem to have an issue with written speeches and I'm pretty sure that TFG thinks TR was a tough guy. His speech once even saved him, in part, from an assassin as the bullet was slowed down by the speech and his glasses case.

I think that the explanation is much simpler. The moon landing and Neil Armstrong had nothing to do with Donald Trump, so he never stored that information in his long-term memory. AFAIK, Neil Armstrong never publicly said anything nice about TFG, either, so, again, no reason to remember him.

I was reading the tweets re his rally as it was going on and I remember one tweet saying that it was taking a bit of time before Trump could speak because they had to set up his TelePrompter. Trump's embarrassing gaffes usually come from his ad-libbing. Maybe the speechwriter assumed that Trump would know the well-known Ohioan who was sent to plant a flag on the moon.

BOOK EXCERPT 6:00 A.M.
Donald Trump’s January 6 The view from inside the Oval Office.
By Michael Wolff


The one person Trump did have at his side, Rudy Giuliani, was drinking heavily and in a constant state of excitation, often almost incoherent in his agitation and mania.

[Slim Cognito]

It would have been more shocking if he wasn’t. The alcoholism, and subsequent brain damage, would explain Rudy’s descent into madness

[Dr. Ken]

[Kendra]

Wonder who they will get to play Rudy in the movie version?

Umm ...

My Google search only finds three astronauts out of Ohio, none of them on a moon mission.
John H. Glenn
Robert F. Overmyer
Kenneth D. Cameron

so who was the man on the plant moon

Mmm, Neil Armstrong?
