Trump’s Wild Rants Raise Questions About His Mental Fitness
Key Facts
In interviews and speeches that have grown progressively longer during his third White House campaign, Trump often leaps back and forth from one topic to the next, appears increasingly unhinged, and mixes up and mispronounces words.
He jumped from discussing the dollar to French President Emmanuel Macron during an interview with Bloomberg at the Chicago Economic Club on Wednesday, and he responded to a question from the outlet’s Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait about whether Google should be broken up by mentioning a partisan court battle over Virginia’s election protocols.
During a rally in Arizona on Sunday, he mispronounced “
Arizonians” as “Azurasians,” drawing ridicule on social media, and he described fighters in Afghanistan as “
a million Rambos” in response to a question from a reporter about Iran’s attack against Israel earlier this month in Wisconsin.
During the Oaks town hall, he responded to a question about grocery prices with a rant about migrants, who he likened to the fictional serial killer, Hannibal Lecter, a comparison he’s made frequently in recent months; he also told attendees to vote on “Jan. 5,” two months after Election Day.
