There are new concerns this morning that former president Donald Trump may be mentally impaired and getting worse by the day after remarks he made Saturday at the National Rifle Association convention in Dallas, Texas.
Specifically, Trump stopped talking near the end of his speech for nearly two minutes.
The disgraced ex-president lavished praise on the Lone Star State, telling attendees, “You have a great governor, you have a great lieutenant governor. You have incredible congress people you have just fantastic people. The Texas spirit of proud independence was forged by cowboys and cattle hands, ranchers and rangers, oil workers, soldiers, and brave, brave, brave, pioneers. Many came here with nothing but the boots on their feet, the clothes on their back, and a gun…”
“Come and take it,” Trump added, referencing a phrase popular among pro-Second Amendment extremists.
“Come and take it. Together they helped make America into the single greatest nation in the history of the world.”
And then…nothing. Just music and no words.
When he finally began speaking again, Trump said, “But now we are a nation in decline. We are a failing nation. We are a nation that has the highest inflation in 58 years. Our banks are collapsing, and interest rates are skyrocketing.”
As the video began circulating on social media, many people noted that Trump may not make it to November while his supporters insisted he had just paused for “dramatic effect.”
Donald keeps saying that President Joe Biden should be drug tested before they debate for the first time on June 27. But perhaps Trump should have a full physical workup before he’s allowed to continue his campaign.
