Trump: New Slip of the Tongue During Speech Fuels Health Concerns

Donald Trump has raised concerns about his health after a verbal slip during a speech at the White House. The 79-year-old president, where he was honored as a champion of coal after his order to strengthen electricity generation from coal, lost the flow of his speech for a few seconds before continuing. The incident sparked intense discussion on social media, with users commenting on the possible deterioration of his cognitive functions. Kamala Harris and California Governor Gavin Newsom sarcastically commented on the incident, while the White House dismissed the criticism as “baseless conspiracy theories.” During his speech, Trump also attacked wind turbines, calling them “crazy” and expressing the view that they are ineffective, contrary to data showing China leading in the development of renewable energy sources. In addition to the verbal slip, other indications of potential health deterioration have been observed, such as clumsy movements and difficulty speaking in public appearances. Concerns are growing as this incident adds to a series of similar ones, suggesting a possible decline in his physical and mental abilities.
