A video clip of US Presidential candidate Donald Trump appearing “lost and confused” has prompted fans of the 78-year old to claim he may be “unravelling before our eyes”.
So concerning was the footage, even his US election rival Kamala Harris sent her well wishes in a tweet in which she simply declared: “Hope he’s okay. Earlier in the day (Monday, October 14), the Kamala HQ X account shared a clip of Republican Party candidate Trump “frozen” on stage.
Harris and Trump will go head-to-head to become the next US president when the polls open on November 5. Success for the former would result in her becoming the first female president in history, whilst Trump is bidding for a second term after missing out to President Joe Biden in 2020.
The video, recorded on the Trump-Vance campaign trail in Oaks, Pennsylvania, sees the Town Hall event close with a song chosen by Trump himself as he sways to the music, with scores of supporters seemingly depart the scene early. In response to Harris’ concern, the Republicans against Trump X account declared: “He’s unraveling in front of our eyes.”
“Trump appears lost, confused, and frozen on stage as multiple songs play for 30+ minutes and the crowd pours out of the venue early,” penned Kamala HQ alongside the clip, which aired on US news network, RSBN.
It prompted a Harris fan to respond: “Trump is not well – JD Vance would be a Big Mac away from being president. This is crazy thought. Vote for Kamala Harris.”
Another agreed: “This job is massively hard and he’s not fit for it. I hope he’s okay too.” A third X user penned: “Thank you, Madame Vice President, for that moment of humanity. Yes,you are right, he does not look well. Worse than [82-year old Minority Leader of the United States Senate] Mitch McConnell when he froze for a few minutes twice earlier this year.”
And a fourth slammed: “That seems to be his signature move now, lost, confused, frozen and I’ll add stupid.”
Defending Trump, however, a US resident exclaimed: “He looks better than Joe [Biden] did and you said Joe was fine. There are people who leave early to beat the crowd. No one leaves yours early because they all fit in one taxi.”
A second claimed there were reasons behind Trumps demeanour. “I see that there are ‘Proposed Community Notes’ on this [tweet] already. There were two medical emergencies in the crowd. Trump did not want to walk out and leave the people whilst those were dealt with. He is loyal to America and Americans. Unlike you. Grow up, Kamala.”
And a third hit back at Harris: “Trump’s crowd loved him so much that they kept the music going until the end of the town hall.”
Trump, meanwhile, took to X yesterday to question Harris’ own health. In a lengthy rant he suggested was “bonkers” in answer to question in a recent interview. “I believe it is very important that Kamala Harris pass a test on Cognitive Stamina and Agility,” Trump wrote.
“Her actions have led many to believe that there could be something very wrong with her. Even 60 Minutes and CBS, in order to protect Lyin’ Kamala, illegally and unscrupulously replaced an answer she had given, which was totally ‘bonkers’, with another answer that had nothing to do with the question asked.”
He closed: “Also, she is slow and lethargic in answering even the easiest of questions. We just went through almost four years of that, we shouldn’t have to do it again!”
