WASHINGTON, DC: Donald Trump claimed during a speech at a rally in Philadelphia on June 22 that the media portrays him as "cognitively impaired" if he says anything like "one word slightly out", and he didn't seem too pleased about this, as per Newsweek.

Notably, Trump made a comparison between his press coverage and that of President Joe Biden. He claimed that even if Biden may "fall off the stage", he will not receive the same kind of criticism from the media.

Donald Trump rants about being called 'cognitively impaired'

After a series of wins in the primaries, Trump amassed enough delegates in March to be his party's presumed nominee. In a rematch of their contentious 2020 presidential race, Trump and Biden will likely face off in November for the 2024 election.

Given their ages and inclination for blunders, Biden and Trump have sparked concerns about their mental faculties and capacity to serve a second four-year term in office.

During the rally, Trump said while referring to the media, "If I blow it up here, though, they—actually, they take a perfect, brilliant, beautiful statement that I make. I go for two hours without teleprompters, and if I say one word slightly out they say, 'He's cognitively impaired'."

He added, "Whereas Biden can run into walls. He can fall off the stage. He can fall up the stairs. He falls up."

Over the past few months, Biden and Trump have both been under heavy fire for perceived gaffes. In a June interview with Time magazine, Biden seemed to mix up Chinese President Xi Jinping with Russian President Vladimir Putin, predicting that Africa's population will reach one billion people "in the next several years", despite the continent currently having more than 1.4 billion people.

However, Biden's yearly health review was written in February by the president's physician, Kevin O'Connor, who called Biden "a healthy, active, robust 81-year-old male, who remains fit to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency".

On the other hand, in May, during a rally in Phoenix, Trump remarked, "What they're doing here in Texas." Newsweek was then informed by his spokesman that "President Trump was obviously saying 'here' as in Arizona and then mentions Texas as well."
