Former US President Donald Trump has once again raised eyebrows after seemingly forgetting the name of his Republican rival, Dr. Ben Carson, during a public address. The incident has reignited debates about Trump's mental acuity as he campaigns for another term in the White House.
Trump's Awkward Moment
During a speech to supporters, Trump struggled to recall Carson's name, referring to him vaguely as "that one guy" before moving on. The awkward pause and apparent memory lapse were quickly picked up by critics, who have long questioned Trump's fitness for office.
History of Verbal Stumbles
This isn't the first time Trump has faced scrutiny over his speaking gaffes. The 77-year-old has previously:
- Confused Barack Obama with Joe Biden
- Mispronounced simple words during rallies
- Made factual errors about historical events
Political Reactions
Opponents have seized on the latest incident, with some suggesting it shows Trump is "losing his edge." Meanwhile, supporters dismiss such moments as unimportant, arguing that policy matters more than perfect recall.
Political analysts note that while gaffes can humanize candidates, repeated memory lapses might concern undecided voters in what promises to be a tight election race.
