On Monday, August 17, Miles Taylor, President Trump's former Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Chief of Staff, released an endorsement of Joe Biden, saying Trump was unfit for the position.
In his video, released on Twitter, Taylor said:
"We would go in to try to talk to him about a pressing national security issue — a cyberattack, a terrorism threat — he wasn't interested in those things. To him, they weren't priorities."

Unfortunately for the President, Taylor was prepared with receipts.

It's unclear whether the President actually forgot Taylor or whether he's simply lying.
