What to Know
At some point, even those closest to Donald Trump are going to have a hard time making excuses for his obvious physical, mental, and emotional health issues. Although some might have you believe that the supreme leader, I mean, president, is in top shape and incapable of poor health, he is often his own undoing in clips that surface on social media.
In one clip on X (formerly Twitter), Trump says “adopt” instead of “adapt” repeatedly. He was also accused by someone on X of having a hard time clapping with both hands.
Are we witnessing the actual physical and mental deterioration of an elderly man in real time?
If you ask anyone in the Trump Administration, they would vehemently deny that.
But if this is what people are able to see out in the open, what are they potentially not showing the people about the president’s health? Insert double emoji eye here, thank you very much.
Trump: "Christians and more, think of this, more than twice as likely foster care they'll adopt the general population. They adopt to it so easily. When they get out, they adopt to it like it's become second nature. It's amazing." pic.twitter.com/L31i0pONzC

It’s becoming impossible to just explain away Trump’s verbal and physical flubs.
In the clip on X, Trump accidentally uses the wrong word repeatedly without noticing either the typo in his notes or the fact that he verbally says the wrong word. Either way, it’s cause for concern.
In speaking on either Christians being adopted or adapting to the United States, Trump says, “Christians and more… adopt to the general population. They adopt to it so easily. When they get out, they adopt to it like it’s become second nature. It’s amazing.”
If you got a headache just from reading that or listening to Trump say that in the clip from the Oval Office, you aren’t alone.
No one quite understands what he is trying to say or what his point, if any, is. In the comments under the X post with the clip, someone wrote, “His brain is all but leaking out of his ears.
He is just rambling on, mixing up the words “adopt” and “adapt” while he’s looking at words on a page, trying to read them, but his Swiss cheese brain isn’t at all functioning at a level to allow him to communicate.”
Another user commented to say that he thinks Trump is trying to explain both adoption rates among Christians and cultural assimilation. That’s all well and good, but the result is actual nonsense that Trump supporters are going to have a hard time explaining or blaming on other political parties.
Someone else on X commented on the thread, “Sad part is, [he’s] reading from what appears to be a script. Good news is, he didn’t bring up windmills or magnets.”
And somehow, a joke of a comment from someone else actually explained Trump’s point far better than the president’s rambling does in the clip.
“When Christians adapt kids, those kids tend to adopt to society quite easily. What say you??” They commented.
What does it say about Trump that this similarly incoherent comment makes more sense than he does in his remarks?
