Donald Trump Gets Tongue Tied During Speech Then Oddly Tries To Correct Himself

President Donald Trump's recent effort to pin the blame for the ongoing government shutdown on Democrats took an unexpected and peculiar turn on Friday when he stumbled over his words during a live address, igniting further public scrutiny regarding his capability to serve. This moment occurred while he spoke from the White House. “Our country’s doing well. The shutdown continues because the gener — the Dern, er — the Democrats just don’t know what they’re doing,” he stated, struggling repeatedly with the word “Democrats,” his hands flailing in frustration. Social media buzzed with reactions, including remarks questioning his awareness. Observers noted slurred speech and suggested deeper cognitive issues amid ongoing national crises. Despite Trump's insistence on his sound cognitive health, critics, including psychologist John Gartner, have raised alarms about signs of early dementia, particularly following a series of verbal gaffes and public fatigue. The unresolved shutdown persists, with opponents attributing the situation to Trump's inaction amidst calls for utilizing the Senate filibuster’s "nuclear option."
