Trump baffles with bizarre claim he had a conversation with Teddy Roosevelt

President Donald Trump stunned the internet on Wednesday when he talked about how he chatted with long-dead former President Teddy Roosevelt.

Trump was in Medora, North Dakota, to visit the newly built Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in the Badlands before it opens on July 4. He spoke to a crowd about how he talked to the nation's 26th president, who died in 1919.

"I even had a conversation with Theodore Roosevelt. I asked how do you feel about the fact that the Democrats gave the Panama Canal away to Panama for $1," Trump said.

You can "chat" with an AI Roosevelt, apparently. Of course Drumpf may have thought he was real. Wouldn't surprise me.
