Donald Trump’s recent rallies have been marred by a series of increasingly erratic and incoherent behaviors, including failed attempts to pronounce names, bizarre facial expressions, strange vocalizations, and inappropriate physical commentary on political figures. A notable incident involved his struggle to say Ken Paxton’s name, followed by a disorganized, nonsensical rant that has been labeled a "dementia glitch" by commentators. These episodes—such as mispronunciations, repetitive corrections, and explicit remarks about politicians’ bodies—reflect a troubling pattern of cognitive and behavioral decline. The behavior is not isolated, with similar incidents appearing across multiple rallies in the past week. Unlike Joe Biden’s occasional misstatements, which attract media attention, Trump’s more frequent and absurd outbursts have largely gone unreported or unaddressed by mainstream outlets, including Fox News, which has even cut him off during remarks about being married to his sister. This lack of public scrutiny raises serious questions about transparency and the president’s fitness for office, especially as the midterm elections approach. The incidents suggest a deeper issue in Trump’s mental capacity and speech coherence, prompting calls for a public conversation about his health and eligibility.
Look, the Republicans can't ignore this anymore.
There has to be a conversation about what we've seen from Donald Trump recently.
The weird sounds, the weird faces, the weird moments on stage at his recent rallies.
The thing is, he's been campaigning more and more because of the upcoming midterm elections
that are now less than a week away, which is crazy to think about.
Less than a week away, which means the American people have seen more of him,
which is not good for the Republicans and good in the name of transparency,
because now we know that there's something more going on with Donald Trump,
that his decline is even worse than we previously thought.
And he's having moments on stage that are sparking some fresh health concerns,
especially with this glitchy onstage moment that we're going to talk about right now,
among others, that I think the American people need to be well aware of
going into the midterm elections, because this is the guy that Republicans continue to defend
and say is perfectly fit to serve, is perfectly fit to make decisions
about the Iran war and important topics like that.
And, you know, obviously that's not the case.
So let's start here.
A viral onstage vocal glitch has renewed scrutiny of Donald Trump's health, rightfully so.
The latest glitch came as the 80-year-old president tried to pronounce Republican Senate candidate
Ken Paxton's name at a rally in Corpus Christi, Texas on Tuesday.
So all he did was try to pronounce his name.
His name.
You know, this is a candidate he's endorsed and he's struggling with it.
Trump appeared to falter mid-rant while trying to juxtapose Democratic candidate James Tallarico
with the embattled Texas attorney.
The president's attorney general suddenly trailing off at Ken Paxton.
He didn't even get the extun part of the name.
He just did Ken Pa.
The president paused, eyebrows raised as if registering the stumble before attempting to carry on.
And here's a clip, actually.
Tallarico will kill millions of Texas jobs.
Ken Paxton.
Ken, I'll tell you what.
Ken Paxton is. Look, the description really wasn't kidding.
He just got like half the name and then gave up after that and was like,
yeah, I don't want to do it anymore.
And then he moved into, and Ken, I'll tell you what, said, looking up to his right.
Ken Paxton is, and he trailed off again before launching into a word salad rant of, quote,
you know, we, they talk about him as a lawyer, everything he did.
In fact, maybe I sort of said, look, we got to look at it a little differently.
Everything he did was for Texas.
Can anybody translate?
That makes absolutely no sense.
Can anybody translate that for me?
I don't think anybody knows what Donald Trump is saying here.
Another dementia glitch, said Midas Touch editor-in-chief Ron Filipowski,
who wrote a response.
The president's failed attempt to say Ken Paxton, saying also something is clearly going on.
The octogenarian president's botched attempt to say Paxton is just the latest garbled utterance
he has made at his rallies over the past week.
And this is not a, you know, incorrect description of what we've seen.
Like, for example, let me show you this clip that took place last night.
I want to show you a few clips, actually, from just the past 48 to 72 hours.
Maybe, you know, just the past week of rallies that Donald Trump has had.
And I want to start here with this one.
It has a lot of people talking where Donald Trump said, I love the meat.
And then he made this interesting gesture that I'll put mildly.
I love the meat.
Ah, I love it.
Look.
You know, wow.
Number one.
Wow.
Okay.
Wow.
Look, I've already talked about this clip in a video before on the show.
Every time I see it, I just can't believe it's real.
I really just, I can't believe it's real.
And you know that people are baffled by it.
Because look at his supporters in the background.
The guy in the red or burgundy hat, like, turned to his friend and was like,
did the president of the United States just do that on stage in front of the entire country?
It seems, yeah, the answer is yes.
He did just do that.
I still don't really understand what he was going for there.
I don't think anybody does.
What about when he had a short circuit when he tried to say the word better?
Better.
He couldn't really do it.
The next two years, bigger, better.
We just want to make them better, stronger.
You know, I've noticed something.
I've noticed something about Donald Trump.
Well, first of all, that was pretty bad.
Second of all, I've noticed something about Donald Trump.
When he mispronounces a word and completely fumbles it, he'll go back to it.
So check, like, look what he did here.
We just want to make them better, strong.
So you see, he did it again.
He's like, I just want to make it better.
And then he stumbles.
And then he goes immediately back to it, trying to catch himself and correct himself.
But, like, we just saw what happened, right?
Like, this is the new normal for Donald Trump.
Or what about this one?
This happened last night as well, where he continued to talk about people's asses.
Which is just never, transparently, a sentence I'd ever thought I'd say on the show.
You know, we talk about politics, world news, updates for you on the show here.
I just never thought this would be one of them.
You know what I mean?
Yesterday, during his rally, he was comparing the behinds of different Republican senators or people that he's endorsed.
So he started with John Husted saying, I'm studying him.
I made the mistake of saying I started studying him.
And then he brought up Ken Paxton's body and said that maybe. Life is all about making decisions.
Sometimes you make questionable ones.
Like buying a new TV that's too big for the wall because the electronics store employee was a little too good at their job.

His body wouldn't be applicable to his description.
Studying him.
And I made the mistake of saying that I started off by studying his ass.
I just wanted to say.
And then I looked at his feet and they were massive.
Then I looked at his hands.
See these hands?
He's a nice head.
They're fine.
He had fingers like sausages.
I looked at his hands.
I said, "Look at it, guys."
And then I patted him on the shoulder.
I said, "Great job, John."
He said a few words.
I said, "Great job."
And I hurt my hand.
It was like I was hitting steel.
But I made the mistake of studying his anatomy and explaining it to the audience.
And the audience loved it.
By the way, he went up 12 points that day.
He went from being down to being up.
And I made the mistake of studying his anatomy and explaining it to the audience.
Maybe I should do that with Ken Paxton, but I'm not sure your body is going to qualify.
agree with it. You support it. Being a Republican, being a Trump supporter or a MAGA candidate is
just a self-humiliation ritual. It really is. I mean, you're part of a cult and you're constantly
being subjected to the most humiliating rhetoric. So whether you're John Husted, where Donald Trump
is inappropriately talking about your body and does it every single day, or Ken Paxton,
who Donald Trump has said, maybe you don't like his look. Maybe you don't like the way he sounds.
Maybe you don't like the way he dresses and maybe his body is not applicable. It doesn't,
it's not worthy of my analysis. I shouldn't be looking at his anatomy, essentially calling him
like ugly. You know, it's just a self-humiliation ritual and they like voluntarily do it. They're
like, yeah, no, I want to be a loyal to Donald Trump. And of course, I would like to point out
that Ken Paxton, it has been added to the list, just like yesterday, Nicki Minaj was, or two days
ago, I should say, where Donald Trump was talking about John Husted again, and then said, by the way,
I looked at one hell of a beautiful ass before Nicki Minaj.
That's hard to miss. Once again, just never thought I'd be talking about this on the show.
And then the other day, of course, he had this moment where he made this bizarre face.
I'm going to zoom in here and you'll see what I mean. It's pretty bad.
You're the president of Iran. It's good. I think he sounds good.
You're the president.
Like, look at the, like, what are we doing, folks? What is going on?
What is going on? I need, look, I don't think there's any MAGA people that watch the show,
because if you're a MAGA, you're a MAGA.
If you're MAGA and you watch the show and we talk about all this stuff and expose it,
I don't know what's going on there. I don't know what the disconnect is.
But can anybody explain to me what the president of the United States is doing in this?
Why is he making that face? Anybody? Any guesses? What's the best guess? At least give me a guess.
Or what about this, where he tried to, you know, he went on this rant about communists and jihadists
applying to the Democratic Senate candidate in Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed, and he glitched again.
He made this weird sound.
If you don't want communists controlling the U.S. Senate,
between Jay, how about the gentleman from Jait? Jait. Okay. I, you know,
I could, the list goes on. This will be the last one I show you. Trump makes this very,
very strange sound effect. It's indescribable as headquarters say. I'd say 90% of the reason I took
the governor and then he made that sound. That was a pretty good impression. If you like, it sounds
similar to what he said. Take a look. You know, he was a lieutenant governor and I'd say 90% of the
reason I took the governor and then he made that sound. If you
took the governor, I took the governor. I put her over at the United Nations.
What guys, you know, it's interesting. Donald Trump's rallies have gotten so crazy that even
Fox news has started to cut him off. Like, look at this. This was from his rally in Georgia the
other day. And Fox news actually cut him off when he started talking about being married to his
sister. Well, they've asked me that question a few times. They said,
I had two wonderful sisters. I have one living who's fabulous, Elizabeth. They said,
were you ever married to your sister? I said, no. It's pretty simple.
All right. You've been watching President Trump and his rally there in Georgia in rare form
tonight. He's letting it all loose. Absolutely.
Wow. That was the best they could come up with in rare form tonight. He's letting it all loose
is the way that the Fox news reporters try to make sense of Donald Trump talking about being
married to his sister, dating his sister. I don't, again, no idea what the president of the United
States is talking about there, but there does need to be a conversation. There does need to
be a conversation about these weird moments. It's not like he misspoke once, you know,
that's what happened with Joe Biden. Joe Biden would misspeak once misspeak once. And it would
be a Fox news story. They'd write article after article, headline after headline story after story
about Joe Biden. But when Donald Trump is doing all of this, there's no Fox news story. They don't
even talk about it on Fox news. If you watch Fox news, you haven't seen any of these clips that we
just mentioned something to think about. So look, I will leave the video there. Thank you so much

rest of your day.
