NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Donald Trump's latest public appearance outside a Manhattan courtroom, where his hush money trial is taking place, has once again raised doubts about his mental sharpness and fitness for office.

The 77-year-old ex-president's rambling speech and apparent disorientation while talking to media members prompted a wave of mockery across social media platforms, with many questioning his cognitive abilities, as reported by OK! Magazine.



 

Donald Trump's latest remarks outside Manhattan courtroom lack his usual clarity and conviction

Trump's remarks to the press, captured in a clip uploaded on X, conveyed a sense of disconnect and rambling.

"Thank you very much, everybody. Today was breathtaking in this room. It was breathtaking. Amazing testimony. This is a case that should have never been filed, and it was really an incredible uhb incredible day. Open your eyes. We can't let this continue to happy to our country," he expressed, his words lacking the usual clarity and conviction.

Trump's baffling courtroom appearance was not an isolated incident; it followed a series of public appearances in which his mental state had been called into question.

Earlier this year, in February, he addressed the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) International Christian Media Convention, delivering a speech filled with bizarre statements.

During his address, Trump made claims suggesting a conspiracy against Roman Catholics by the Biden administration, stating, "No one will be touching the cross of Christ under the Trump administration, I swear to you. They want you to say what they want you… what they want to have you say. And we're not gonna let that happen."

He also made puzzling remarks about protecting AM radio content, adding, "I will protect the content that is pro-God. We're going to protect pro-God context and content. To that end, at the request of the NRB, I will do my part to protect AM radio in our cars. You know, we like to listen to AM radio."

Despite the mounting concerns over his mental faculties, Trump has consistently denied any cognitive decline. In a previous public appearance, he boasted about acing a cognitive test, stating, "I said, 'I gotta take it, 'cause I gotta shut it up.' And I took it, and I aced it."

Judge Juan Merchan scheduled Trump's criminal trial to begin on April 15, which would make it the first criminal prosecution of a former American president. Trump was charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records last year, which prosecutors say was an effort to hide a potential sex scandal, both before and after the 2016 election.
