Donald Trump’s continuing mental lapses are getting to be a major story, in the closing days of the presidential campaign. Trump had another one Wednesday, and the Harris campaign is seeking to capitalize on it.
Speaking at the Turning Point USA event in Georgia on Wednesday, Trump attempted to gesture at a chart featuring illegal immigration statistics. But appeared to get confused.
“Oooooh. There it is,” he said. “I was looking at me. I started looking at me and I’m looking, I do not like to wear, I don’t like my hair tonight.”
The Kamala HQ X account shared the video soon after:

Among those who appeared at the Turning Point event were the group’s leader, Charlie Kirk, as well as former Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, conspiracy theorist and former presidential campaign Robert Kennedy, Jr., and ex-Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
In his speech at the event, Carlson shared a bizarre analogy in which he compared Trump to the country’s “dad.”

“There has to be a point at which dad comes home…Dad comes home, and he’s pissed…You know what he says? ‘You’ve been a bad little girl, and you’re getting a vigorous spanking right now,'” Carlson said, to rapturous applause at the Turning Point event.
Also this week, Trump appeared on the podcast hosted by legendary pro wrestler The Undertaker, and got confused about something else. As pointed out by Wrestlezone, Trump misremembered which Wrestlemania events he “hosted” in Atlantic City. Trump stated that he was the host of Wrestlemania III and IV, but it was in fact IV and V, which took place at the building that’s now called Boardwalk Hall, adjacent to what was then Trump Plaza.
