Trump claims he stopped 'wars with France' as POTUS, Internet says 'this is Sundowning syndrome'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: During a recent campaign rally in Georgia, Donald Trump asserted that his supporters were unaware of his achievements while in office, making an unusual claim about conflicts involving one of America's NATO allies.

"I stopped wars with France," he declared, prompting applause from some attendees.

Donald Trump mischaracterizes tax dispute with France as a 'war'

Donald Trump elaborated, “France. You know the France story? They were gonna charge us, think of this, 25% to all Amer — I have to protect American companies whether we like ’em or not, some of ’em I didn’t even like.”

This statement may have alluded to France’s 2019 initiative to impose a 3% tax on revenue from US tech companies operating within its borders.

Earlier this year, at a rally in Iowa, Trump claimed that France sought to levy a significant tax on American products while he was in office, which led him to threaten French President Emmanuel Macron with a 100% tax on “every bottle” of Champagne and wine imported from France.

Trump quickly transitioned from discussing France to his views on tech companies, stating, “You know, Google is treating us much better, did you notice that? What happened to Google they’re treating us much better, very nice, I appreciate that very much.” He then added, “They say McDonald’s was one of the most viewed things that they ever had. Can you believe, McDonald’s?”

These peculiar comments come amidst ongoing scrutiny regarding Trump’s mental sharpness during his campaign, as he has frequently lost his train of thought, rambled at rallies, and occasionally slurred his speech.
