Tump’s Awkward Gaffe of Missing Leader Across Table Blows Up Online

President Donald Trump recently sparked speculation about his mental acuity during a meeting with European leaders at the White House, reflecting on Russia’s war against Ukraine. At 79 years of age, the oldest President in U.S. history, Trump awkwardly failed to recognize Finnish President Alexander Stubb, seated directly across from him. “President Stubb of Finland... and he’s somebody that we’re all, huh, huh, where, where?” Trump stuttered, seeming confused. “I’m right here,” Stubb replied, merely a couple of feet away. In a misguided attempt at camaraderie, Trump remarked, “Oh, you look better than I’ve ever seen you look,” oblivious to their recent golfing outing in May. This incident drew harsh commentary on social media, as observers reflected on previous gaffes. Earlier, Trump suggested Alaska was not part of the U.S. during a Fox News interview while discussing a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Such senior moments raise eyebrows and prompt discussions regarding Trump’s mental fitness for office.
