Trump In PANIC Trying To Backtrack Humiliating Slip On Stage
Donald Trump completely loses it in rage over getting called out for humiliating slip between President Biden and former President Obama in multiple on stage appearances, a Fox News interview and recent Trump rally after continuously railing against Biden for his mental competency. John Iadarola and Adrienne Lawrence break it down on The Damage Report.

You don't mind if I go up
teleprompter like, a lot, do you?
So much more exciting, so much more.
But the head of Hungary, very tough,
strong guy, Victor Orban,
they were interviewing him two weeks ago,
and they said,
[00:00:16]
what would you advise President Obama?
The whole world seems to be exploding and
imploding.
And he said, it's very simple,
he should immediately resign and
they should replace him with
President Trump who kept the world safe.
And now they're getting hit
very hard by the north, and
[00:00:33]
I'm really shocked that the Obama
administration can be out there saying,
I hope they don't attack from the north.
Why are they doing that?
How stupid a statement.
Arrest their leading political opponent
and leading by a lot, including Obama.
I'll tell you what, you take a look
at Obama, and take a look at some
[00:00:50]
of the things that he's done, this is the
same thing, the country is very divided.
And we did with Obama,
we won an election that everyone
said couldn't be won,
we beat Hillary Clinton.
>> Speaker 4: Country is divided, yeah,
it's divided between people who think that
Obama is still president for some reason,
[00:01:09]
and people who know that's not true and
hasn't been true for many years.
Anyway, there are big divisions,
and his brain has some trubs,
clearly, he keeps mixing up Joe Biden and
Barack Obama.
In fact,
at least seven times in recent months,
[00:01:24]
he has made that very specific flub.
And so you combine that with his advanced
age and the fact that he has never once in
his life shown any interest whatsoever
in maintaining the health of his body or
his mind.
And some people are concerned
about his cognitive state,
is he actually capable of doing this job?
[00:01:42]
You can also add in that he's constantly
attacking Joe Biden for the same thing,
and we know that Donald Trump is a guy
who reflexively projects no one else in
American history.
But don't worry about all that,
he's got an explanation for
all the flubs that you've seen,
he put up a far too long truth.
[00:01:58]
Whenever I sarcastically insert the name
Obama for Biden as an indication that
others may actually be having a very
big influence in running our Country.
Ron Desantimonious and his failing
campaign apparatus, together with
the Democrats go wild saying that Trump
doesn't know the name of our president.
[00:02:14]
Crooked Joe Biden, he must be cognitively
impaired, no, I know both names very well,
never mix them up and
know that they are destroying our country.
Also, and as reported, I just took a
cognitive test as part of my Physical exam
and aced it, also aced a perfect score,
one taken while in the President.
[00:02:32]
That was, of course, the camera woman,
man, blah, blah, blah.
So, it is not that his
brain is Swiss cheese,
it's not leaking out of his ears,
he's just being sarcastic.
Adrian, do you buy that?
[00:02:48]
Perhaps more importantly,
cuz I think I know the answer to that,
do you think that conservatives
will buy that as an explanation?
>> Speaker 6: I think conservatives
are okay with being lied to to their face,
cuz I actually think the vast majority
of people are okay with that.
[00:03:03]
So I think as long as they think it
sits in their interest in the end game,
why acknowledge this reality?
As far as his cognitive decline,
I don't know that that man has
all been there to begin with,
his just appreciation for reality,
his willingness to fabricate things.
[00:03:20]
I don't know if there's ever been an
instance or a situation where he has been
candid or honest in any way,
maybe one of his wives has seen it.
It's kind of like the sighting of
some kind of Loch Ness Monster,
it maybe only comes up,
what, every thousand years?
And so I just don't know that if this
man is really on a cognitive decline, or
[00:03:39]
if he's just leaning into truly who he is.
Either way, I just really
wanna see him in handcuffs and
put away somewhere where he cannot hurt a
soul by being in a position of leadership.
>> Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, sign me up.
Has he ever been honest?
We don't know behind closed doors, you're
right, maybe with his wife, or something.
[00:03:58]
We do know he seemed to be pretty
honest in the Access Hollywood tape
when he didn't know audio was getting out.
That seems consistent with the rest of
his life, but yeah, so I cannot say for
sure, dear viewers, and
whether it's just sarcasm or not.
[00:04:15]
I mean, saying that Obama is
actually president would fit in
with right wing conspiracy theories,
so that's true.
I mean, you saw the video, and that
does not appear to be what he was doing.
But even if that is what he is doing,
saying Obama purposefully,
[00:04:33]
sarcastically to get Joe Biden, then
that answers that issue with his brain.
It doesn't answer some of the others.
And look, I don't have the time to put
together a comprehensive list of his
other little cognitive flubs,
but here are a few to consider.
[00:04:50]
He recently forgot what
state he was in and
needed to be told in real time that
it was not the state he thought.
He said he'd never said that he would use
Special Forces to attack drug cartels,
even though he has done that
multiple times, enthusiastically.
He has mixed up Kristi Noem, and Nikki
Haley, he has mixed up RFK Jr and JFK Jr.,
[00:05:07]
he's mixed up George W Bush and Joe Biden,
he confused George W Bush and Jeb Bush.
He said that Joe Biden would
get us into World War II,
he said that Hunter Biden got paid by
Afghanistan when the conspiracy theories
are that he got paid by Ukraine or
maybe China, but not Afghanistan.
He's mixed up the leadership of China and
North Korea,
[00:05:24]
he called Viktor Orbon the leader
of Turkey, he said that Hungary
borders Russia when it's a thousand
kilometers away at the shortest.
So there's a lot of stuff in there, and
I'm not exactly sure where sarcasm fits
into some of that, maybe some of
that would be funny, sarcastically.
I don't get the World War II thing,
is sarcasm,
[00:05:42]
I don't get the Kristi Noem and
Nikki Haley thing, is sarcasm.
So, I would say adding a little bit of
political sarcastic Occam's razor to this,
I think the simplest explanation is that
he is a guy who didn't have a particularly
strong mind when his body was at its best.
[00:05:58]
And we're now decades on from that,
and that,
the passage of time combined with a diet
of hamburgers over literally decades.
Probably, has resulted in
some cognitive decline,
which face all of us in the future.
I'm feeling a little bit of it too,
right now,
[00:06:14]
I think that that is a better explanation.
>> Speaker 6: Yes, and
the worst part is he doesn't even drink.
I'm just like, at least be like, hey, I'm
hungover, or I had a little bit to drink.
Nope, man isn't sober as a jailbird.
>> Speaker 4: If he was partying it up,
and then making little flubs,
[00:06:29]
or if we believe that he was an engaged
father to Baron, or something.
So he was having late nights,
like, Jr is tired all the time,
he's got [LAUGH], but no,
that's that's not it.
That's just who he is, but anyway,
despite all of that, we have a poll about
[00:06:46]
what people think about cognitive decline
and all that with these candidates.
So on Thursday, this poll from
NewsNation/Decision Desk found that more
than half of voters, 52%, were very
concerned about Biden's cognitive
health affecting his ability
to serve another term.
[00:07:02]
38.2% said the same for
Trump, additionally,
more voters said they were not at all
concerned about Trump's cognitive health,
that's 23% compared to Biden's.
So, yeah, look, I would say that 23% about
Trump could very well just be the 23% of
[00:07:17]
the country that think that Trump
could literally do no wrong,
that he is God incarnate,
so that's possibly true.
And in terms of the overall evaluation of
voters, I think it's that we have lower
expectations for Trump and
there's been a lot more focus on Biden,
I think it's a combination
of those two things.
[00:07:33]
They both make gaps all the time, they've
both had weird physical things happen.
They're both super old and
arguably not in great shape,
although Biden at least still riding
bikes around from time to time.
We're gonna have to see on into
the election, if this becomes a part of
the advertising against Trump,
maybe that can get through to people.
[00:07:51]
Any final thoughts?
>> Speaker 6: Yeah, and I think you're
right, unfortunately, the age thing,
I think is the strongest
argument Trump has going for him.
As ageist as it is,
the reality is you do decline and
it takes a lot off your
body to be president.
And like Jenkins said, I completely agree,
[00:08:06]
I think it's very selfish of Biden to even
try to run again, I think it's gross.
