Proving once again that he’s in serious mental decline, failed former president Donald Trump claimed Wednesday evening during an appearance on Fox News that the “audience” at last week’s debate with Vice President Kamala Harris “went crazy” when he was fact-checked my moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis.
Speaking with Fox host Greg Gutfeld, Mediaite notes, Trump remarked, “And they didn’t correct her once. And they corrected me, everything I said, practically. I think nine times or 11 times. And the audience was absolutely– they went crazy.”
There was no studio audience at the debate. Just Trump, Harris, and the moderators.
Trump’s latest gaffe led to a larger discussion Thursday on “Morning Joe,” with co-host Joe Scarborough commenting, “Well, I mean, yeah. You know, the stagehands were going crazy.”
“What debate is he talking about?” Mika Brzezinski asked.
That led MSNBC host Jonathan Lemire to remind viewers of another verbal mixup from Trump earlier in the week when the ex-president confused Afghanistan with Alaska.
“This is happening more and more for Donald Trump. Let’s remember, he is 78 years old. With so much attention on [President Joe] Biden’s age when he was still in the race, it was overlooked that Trump is just a couple years younger and just as prone, maybe more so, to these verbal slips and confusion.”
“It’s harder to pick it up from Trump sometimes because he’s so loud and has been doing this for years, so we may be numb to it,” he added. “There is a new focus here about his mental capability and fitness for office — certainly one that Democrats are pointing to. These mistakes, the mix-ups are seemingly only increasing by the day. “
When will someone drop a net over Donald Trump and put him in an assisted living facility where he belongs? He can never again be allowed to control the U.S. nuclear arsenal, and he sure as hell can’t be trusted with top-secret information. He’d probably sell it to the Russians and think he’d given it to his son Barron.
