Former President Donald Trump has recently been accused of confusing ex-President Barack Obama with President Joe Biden at least seven times. However, on Monday morning, Trump went on Truth Social to vehemently deny these claims, insisting that he is not 'cognitively impaired'.
In his post, Trump stated that his mix-ups of the 44th and 46th presidents were intentional, and instead blamed news reports as well as the 'Democrat's Radical Left "Disinformation Machine"' for suggesting otherwise. Trump also referred to a physical exam he had recently received, during which he 'ACED' a cognitive test.
Trump's accusations came following a report by Forbes that clips of the 45th president's apparent gaffes had been circulating on social media. In particular, one of Trump's slip-ups was highlighted by Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis' campaign, in which Trump said 'We did it with Obama, we won an election they said couldn't be won.'
It is worth noting that Trump defeated Obama's Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, in the 2016 election and lost to Biden in 2020. To further contrast himself from his 2024 opponent, Trump even suggested that Biden should take a cognitive test as well.
Trump's health report by his personal physician, Dr. Bruce Aronwald, stated that his 'cognitive exams were exceptional'. This was likely shared to differentiate him from Biden, whose age has raised concerns among Americans around whether he is fit to serve another four years. Biden would be 86 years old if he is re-elected and completes a second term. Biden himself has had numerous gaffes, including one on his birthday in which he confused pop stars Britney Spears and Taylor Swift.
