For numerous onlookers, both in the US and abroad, the president has been behaving strangely in recent times. Particularly on social media.

Recent Online Events

When a potential government closure neared within the United States last week, Trump shared an artificial intelligence creation portraying the House minority leader, the first Black House minority leader, donning a wide-brimmed hat and amplified facial hair, featuring traditional Mexican music in the background.

Hispanic advocacy bodies criticized the social media content labeling them "racist", "hazardous" and "disgraceful", however Trump intensified, publishing additional footage which showed himself in a sombrero strumming a guitar with a representation of the minority leader.

Artificial Intelligence Posts and Conspiracy Theories

This represented merely one example wherein Trump's actions has seemed unusual. The previous weekend Trump circulated on his social platform an artificially produced misleading footage which promoted "medical bed facilities".

All citizens will shortly get a personal medical bed card," the computer-generated president ostensibly in the presidential office declared. "With it, you'll have assured entry to our new hospitals managed by leading physicians throughout America."

Disregarding the truth that the idea of "med beds" represents a conservative conspiracy theory – one version of the theory posits that federal authorities and/or certain affluent citizens have access to medical bed-like devices capable of treating numerous diseases, but are withholding the technology – the president's share generated a number of questions.

White House Response

The content was eventually removed, but it remains baffling, and the White House's response failed to reduce the confusion.

"I think the president saw the video and shared it, subsequently deleted it," the administration spokesperson commented when asked about the video.

Further Concerning Events

During a latest address at the White House during which Trump stated – opposing current scientific consensus – that the medication could connect to autism spectrum if used by expectant mothers, Trump confusingly spoke about "specific aspects of brilliance that can be given to a baby".

A week earlier, while at a media briefing alongside UK leader Keir Starmer, Trump confused Albania with Armenia while talking about a peace agreement struck between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

Church Tragedy Response

Back in the social media world, the commander-in-chief shared via his preferred network that he "was informed" regarding a shooting at a religious facility in Michigan resulting in four fatalities.

He subsequently shared additional content. Yet, it didn't constitute news about the continuing incident across Michigan. Conversely, a few hours subsequently, he shared a video which showed an array of gold fixtures and fittings.

Commanders Meeting

Setting aside Trump's confusing online behavior, the commander-in-chief's live presentations have also become odd.

The other day, Trump gathered America's premier defense officials to a meeting in Virginia. Talking to high-ranking officers, Trump, sounding drained, touted his alleged successes.

Our nation is honored again as a country. We lacked respect under Biden," Trump stated. "They looked at him falling down stairs daily. Every day, the guy's falling down stairs."

Official Responses

The presentation caused immediate alarm, comprising retired armed forces personnel. Barry McCaffrey, a retired general told MSNBC that the president's presentation represented "among the strangest, unsettling events I've ever encountered".

"The president sounded incoherent, fatigued, rabidly partisan, occasionally foolish," the retired officer commented.

The president's address sufficed for Madeleine Dean, a Democratic congresswoman from Pennsylvania, to approach the Republican congressional leader, Speaker Johnson.

"The president is unhinged. He seems unhealthy," the representative stated to Johnson.

Johnson appeared unconcerned regarding the statements. "Well many individuals in your camp seem likewise," Johnson responded.
