A fresh wave of concern has erupted regarding Donald Trump’s mental acuity, following a video clip that surfaced on social media, where he seemed to overlook a significant detail during a press conference.

In a recent appearance, Trump criticized both President Joe Biden and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, seemingly forgetting that it was he who originally appointed Powell. His remarks were meant to cast blame on Biden, but this oversight flipped the narrative.

Standing in the Oval Office earlier this week, Trump expressed his dissatisfaction with Powell’s performance, attributing economic challenges to him:

“I think [Powell] is doing a terrible job, he is costing us a lot of money. We fight through it.

The country has become so successful that it doesn’t have a big impact, but it does hurt people trying to get a mortgage, people who want to buy a house.

He is a terrible Fed chair. I’m surprised he was appointed. I was surprised, frankly, that Joe Biden put him in and extended him.”

This statement quickly caught the attention of social media users, pointing out Trump’s oversight as he was the one to appoint Powell back in 2018 during his presidential tenure.

Although Biden did extend Powell’s term, the initial choice undeniably belonged to Trump.

Observers noted a shift in Trump’s demeanor, suggesting he realized his mistake mid-sentence, pivoting focus to Biden’s reappointment of Powell.

The incident sparked online criticism, leading many to question Trump’s memory and mental capability.

Some recalled instances from Trump’s presidency where he had publicly praised Powell during the initial appointment.

A Twitter user remarked, “The man can’t even remember appointing the Fed Chair himself—yet we’re supposed to trust him with the economy, global diplomacy, and nuclear codes?

If Biden had a moment like this, it’d be a media firestorm. But Trump? Crickets. This isn’t leadership—it’s a slow-motion train wreck, and everyone’s pretending not to see it.”

Another individual chimed in, “Trump’s inability to recall his own decision to appoint Powell is a significant signal of cognitive decline and a neglect for the truth. It’s dangerous—for both the economy and our democracy.”

Someone humorously noted, “Damn, didn’t realize how much Trump is beginning to sound like Biden.”

Others were more straightforward, declaring, “Hard to deny this as evidence of severe mental decline!”

Despite these digitally voiced concerns, Trump’s medical team has consistently reported that he is in good health.

Earlier this year, White House physicians publicly confirmed that Trump is mentally sound and physically fit, quelling any speculation about cognitive issues.
