KEY POINTS

  • Donald Trump sparks dementia rumors once again 
  • Donald Trump doesn't remember when the SOTU took place
  • Donald Trump hasn't been diagnosed with dementia 

Donald Trump once again ignited health worries among netizens after he seemingly forgot a basic detail about the State of the Union address.

On Wednesday night, the POTUS graced a rally in Phoenix, Arizona in an attempt to provide counter-programming to the Democratic debate in Las Vegas, Nevada.

During his speech, Melania Trump’s husband paid tribute to a World War II veteran that was carried into the venue by two of the president’s supporters. The veteran made headlines, and his video at the Trump rally went viral.

The POTUS also talked about the SOTU while at the rally, and he seemingly forgot when it took place. Trump claimed that the SOTU took place last week but it was actually held on Feb. 4.

According to Political Flare, Trump’s forgetfulness could be one of the first signs of dementia. Twitter user @atrupar shared a video of Trump mentioning the incorrect day when SOTU took place.

“TRUMP in Phoenix: ‘Do you remember the good time we had a week ago at the State of the Union?’ (State of the Union was actually more than two weeks ago),’” he captioned the video.

Some netizens are also convinced that the POTUS may be suffering from dementia. However, it is important to note that he has not yet been officially diagnosed.

“#DementiaAlert,” Twitter user @JMahoffer wrote.

“There’s a reason dementia tests start with clock exercises. Normal people take the concept of time for granted, but for dementia sufferers, it is often the first thing to go. #TrumpDementia,” Twitter user @audiomagnate wrote.

“This is maybe the third time this has happened in the last day or so. He’s losing track of time,” Twitter user @bobcesca_go said.

“His dementia is showing,” Twitter user @Rats0ffToYa said.

“Yikes… dementia hitting hard tonight,” Twitter user @TheBadNewsB said.

“#ProgressiveDementia,” Twitter user @surg2SAHM said.

“Time flies when you have dementia,” Twitter user @youmakemecrazy said.

“Trump has no real understanding of time,” Twitter user @carolyn_from said.
