Trump Responds To Claims He's 'Cognitively Challenged' In Bafflingly Weird Way
HuffPost
The former president brought it up twice during a rally in North Carolina.
Donald Trump on Wednesday twice denied accusations that he is “cognitively challenged” and “cognitively in trouble” during a rally in Charlotte.
Early in the speech, he delivered a shoutout to Lara Trump ― his daughter-in-law, co-chair of the Republican National Committee, and a North Carolina native ― in the middle of a sentence blaming Vice President Kamala Harris for inflation.
“As vice president, [Harris] cast the tie-breaking votes that created the worst inflation in a half a century, decimating middle class families and hurting very badly as you know all people in North Carolina, and by the way Lara says hello,” Trump said. “Lara. Do we love Lara? How good is Lara? She is terrific.”
He said he had to mention her at that point “because if I forget it later on they’ll say ‘He’s cognitively challenged.’ I don’t want to be cognitively, no, but I want to thank her because she’s unbelievable.”
About 45 minutes later, the speech took a strange turn when he brought his cognition up again as he turned to one of his favorite topics: Comparing migrants to Hannibal Lecter, the fictional serial killer from the “Silence of the Lambs” franchise.
