Donald Trump’s latest speech set off a firestorm of people online saying the address was “slurring” and “incoherent.”
Trump’s remarks in North Carolina on Friday raised red flags for many. One of the most-cited examples was him saying, “I took cognitive tests. By the way, not easy. The first question is like what is this and they show a lion, giraffe, fish and a hippopotamus. And they say which is the giraffe.”
Garry Kasparov responded to that, asking, “Who is running the country?”
National security analyst Barry R McCaffrey also pounced on that, saying, “This is our President. The most powerful nation on earth. The poor man is incoherent. Three more years. Dangerous future ahead.”
That led Dem lawmaker Ted Lieu to ask, “Why do doctors keep giving Trump cognitive tests?”
Popular liberal influencer Spiro’s Ghost also seized on that same testing line, simply writing, “oh my god.”
That same account also flagged another quote from Trump’s remarks:
“I renamed the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, right? That was a good one. I checked… for my whole life, I didn’t do it in my first term because I was the hunted. I had bigger problems. I had these animals trying to attack me at Mar-a-Lago,” he said. “They went into my wife’s closet… it sounds strange, but they looked at her drawers.”
The disjointed nature of the story Trump told led Spiro’s Ghost to wrote, “Wait…is he so dementia laden that he is saying that he couldn’t change the name in his first term (2017-2021) because of Mar-A-Lago raid in 2022?!? WUT???”
In another awkward moment, Trump was talking about insurance companies when he said, “They are totally beholden” and then said the letters “i-n.”
Governor Newsom Press Office pounced on that, writing, “He’s sundowning hard.”
Trump also caught attention with his rant against Marjorie Taylor Greene, which led ex-prosecutor Ron Filipkowski to say, “If you listen to this rant and think this demented, malevolent, addled, rambling old fool is fit to be president, you might be a MAGA cultist.”
Commenting on another Trump quote, “Her undergarments, sometimes to referred to as panties…. I think she steams them,” activist Amy Siskind said, “Listen to him slurring and sounding nuts!”
“Why isn’t his mental health a top story every single day?!?” she asked.
