President Donald Trump, 79, bragged to reporters that whoever he endorses in the Georgia special election to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene “is going to win”—except he apparently forgot he already endorsed someone nearly two weeks ago.
“We have a lot of people that want to take Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Greene’s place,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One Monday. “Many, many candidates, and I have to choose one.”
Except… he already chose one. On February 4, Trump posted on Truth Social that he was giving his “Complete and Total Endorsement” to Clay Fuller, a district attorney and Air National Guard member.

Fuller has since made Trump’s backing the centerpiece of his campaign, plastering it across his website and social media. An endorsement is only worth so much when the guy who made it can’t remember it exists.
Meanwhile, Trump keeps endorsing people who go on to lose in their races.
The crowded race has 14 Republican candidates vying for Greene’s seat in Georgia’s 14th Congressional District. At a recent forum, Fuller came in second in a straw poll with 19 percent—trailing state Sen. Colton Moore, who grabbed 45 percent.
Early voting started Monday. If nobody clears 50 percent on March 10, the top two candidates will face off in an April 7 runoff.
This isn’t the first time Trump’s social media activity has raised questions about who’s actually behind the keyboard. Last week, he tried to distance himself from a racist post about the Obamas, insisting a staffer was responsible. Critics noted the irony of Trump—who spent years attacking Biden’s mental acuity—now claiming he doesn’t know what’s being posted under his own name.
Trump is heading to Rome, Georgia on Thursday to campaign in the district. Whether he’ll remember who he’s campaigning for remains to be seen.
