Former President Donald Trump had a bewildering moment during a campaign event in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, this week, mistakenly asserting that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is “trying to kill” him, apparently confusing the dictator with the president of Iran.
In a rambling and disjointed statement, Trump declared, “Washington would not get us… They said that we have to guard the United Nations, which meant the president of North Korea, who’s basically trying to kill me. So they want to guard him, but they don’t want to guard me. We’re going to start having it out with them because we sort of have it.”
This gaffe sparked an immediate wave of mockery on social media, with users quick to poke fun at the former president’s confusion.
“For the good of the country, it’s time for this old man to step aside,” one user commented.
“Grandpa is making all kinds of mistakes lately. How does he confuse that one?” another user chimed in.
“He’s completely lost it. He was already off his rocker, but now he seriously needs to go to a home, a hospital, or prison—his choice,” one reply stated.
“Imagine this happening in the Situation Room,” another user mused.
