On Saturday, August 3, former President Donald Trump, who is 78 years old, absolutely ruined the word "wrecking" while he was speaking to fans in Atlanta, Georgia.
“Together we will stop Kamala Harris’ nation wrecktin —” Donald stated as he appeared to completely lose his train of thought. “I’ll tell you what, when you see what she’s done to our nation. She’s wrecking our nation,” the former POTUS continued in an attempt to recover.
One X, formerly known as Twitter, user then uploaded the video. “Trump glitching already early on: We will stop Kamala Harris’ nation wreckting—-,” the netizen penned in the caption.
The public reacted by criticizing the father of five for his inability to articulate logical thinking at the time of the incident. “Unfit loser,” one person wrote. “Dementia Don strikes again. He’s unfit,” another X user stated.
“Is that from Adderall or the cocaine?” a third netizen said. “'… I’ll tell you what’ = I just realized my words aren’t coming out right and I need to reboot!” a fourth X user commented.
According to OK! Magazine, this was not the only element of Donald's speech in Georgia that attracted people's attention. He was also criticized for declaring that he only likes those who like him.
“Trump: ‘Bruce Springsteen. I am not a huge fan. I have a bad trait. I only like people who like me. Does that make sense?’” one social media user said, quoting part of Donald’s speech from a clip.
“I have a bad trait: I fit the definition of a narcissist. Is that bad?” a netizen wrote in response to the video. “Yeah. Narcissistic people are usually like that,” another X user said.
“No s---. Trump doesn’t endorse conservatives based on policy — they just have to say nice things about him,” a third netizen stated. “Only one bad trait? It's more like he has a copious amount of them,” another X user shared.
Speculations regarding the former commander-in-chief's capacity to run for president in 2024 have been circulating for several months already, with one physician even asserting that the former president suffers from memory problems.
"Unlike normal aging, which is characterized by forgetting names or words, Trump repeatedly shows something very different: confusion about reality," Dr. Lance Dodes, a supervising analyst emeritus of the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute and retired Harvard Medical School professor, said of how Donald would mix up Barack Obama with Joe Biden.
"If he were to become president he would have to be immediately removed from office via the 25th Amendment as dangerously unable to fulfill the responsibilities of office," the doctor shared.
In addition to the opinion expressed by Dode, Suzanne Lachmann, a psychologist from New York, asserted that Donald frequently appears to "forget how the sentence began and invent something in the middle," which results in "an incomprehensible word salad." She went on to explain that this is a habit that she "frequently [sees] in patients who have dementia."
Business Times has reached out to Donald Trump for comments.
