During a rally in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, Donald Trump once again proved that he’s his own biggest fan. This time, he managed to get completely distracted by something quite unusual: his own hair. Yes, in the middle of a speech, Trump stopped to focus on his hair, telling the crowd, “I’m looking at my hair up there. Oh, I don’t like it. I don’t like it. I’m gonna re-comb my hair.”

This odd moment made people wonder whether he’s really fit to run for president again. It wasn’t the first time he’s lost track of his speech recently, either. During the same rally, he also went on a weird rant about golf legend Arnold Palmer. Trump said, “Arnold Palmer is all man. I mean no disrespect to women, I love women, but he was all man. When he took showers with the other pros, they came out saying, ‘Oh my God.’ I had to tell you the shower part because it’s true.”
Wait, what? What does Arnold Palmer taking showers have to do with anything? This left many people scratching their heads, and it’s no wonder some voters are questioning his mental state.

People had plenty of reactions on twitter. Zion Darkwood (@ZionDarkwood) asked what many of us are wondering:
“How is Trump even seriously considered to be President? What the hell was the Republican Party thinking sending this guy back in after we told them we didn’t want him in 2020? What the hell.”

That’s a good question. The fact that Trump is running again after losing the last election has baffled a lot of people.
Executive Team Coach (@wiley_inc) added some humor, tweeting:
“Trump brushes his hair in a blender and applies Miracle Whip.”

The visual of Trump doing his hair with a blender is both hilarious and kind of fitting!

“His number one priority is himself and that’s how he would govern (again).”

This is a sharp reminder of why so many people are wary of Trump’s return to politics.
Arbel Moyal (@ArbelPatootie) had stronger words, tweeting:
“Trump is running to be a fascist authoritarian dictator and I can’t understand how Americans don’t realize it yet, if he wins it’s on YOU.”
Another Twitter user, Gloria itsmommy (@itsmommy2024), pointed out the ridiculousness of Trump’s speech:
“At least he stopped talking about Arnold Palmer’s bits and pieces for 5 minutes to obsess about his own ridiculous hair. How on earth could ANYONE think this man is qualified to lead our great country?! Even if you love him, you must know he isn’t up to that!!”
Bart Furley (@DukeLawndale) summed it up nicely:
“‘Tired and exhausted’ is an excuse. That’s who he actually is!”

Trump’s strange behavior is making more people wonder if he’s still fit for the job. His focus on his hair and odd stories about Arnold Palmer are making things worse. It looks like his best days are behind him, but will the Republican Party realize this before it’s too late? Only time will tell.
