President Donald Trump seemed to stumble when responding to a reporter’s question during a press conference in Florida on Tuesday, where he had traveled for the opening of “Alligator Alcatraz,” a controversial detention facility designed to accommodate migrants.
When asked how long detainees are expected to remain at the detention center, the president replied, “I’m gonna spend a lot. This is my home state. I love it. I’ll spend a lot of time here,” sidestepping the actual question.
The president’s unexpected answer sparked concern, prompting political commentators to question his cognitive well-being.
Journalist Mike Rothschild said: “He’s obviously losing his cognition and coherence in a way that’s becoming impossible to cover up or work around. And the more he declines, the more his sycophants prop him up as doing ‘better than ever.’ It’s an unsustainable situation that could easily end in chaos.”
MSNBC contributor Rotimi Adeoye said: “Clear sign of cognitive decline here.”
