Donald Trump appeared to confuse President Joe Biden with former President Barack Obama during a Fox News appearance.
Trump argued for presidential immunity, suggesting that without it, a president might face indictment for actions taken in office.
He referenced Obama’s actions and implied ongoing presidency, prompting concerns about Trump’s mental state.
Trump’s legal team argued for his immunity from prosecution, citing past presidents’ actions.
Judges and prosecutors questioned the extent of presidential immunity, with Trump’s lawyer arguing that prosecution would require impeachment and conviction by Congress.
Critics, including Joe Scarborough, expressed worry about Trump’s detachment from reality and potential danger.
Trump said, “If the president of the United States and I’m not talking about myself, I’m talking about any president, has to have immunity, because if you take immunity away from the president, so important, you will have you have a president that’s not going to be able to do anything.”
“Because when he leaves office, the opposing party, president, if it’s the opposing party, will indict the president for doing something that should have been good, like Obama dropped missiles, and they ended up hitting a kindergarten or school or the apartment house, a lot of people were killed,” continued the former president.
“Well, if that’s the case, he’s going to end up being indicted when he leaves office. He meant well, the missile went in the wrong direction and other things,” he added.
Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough said, “Donald Trump is not well, we know this”.
“He really does think that Barack Obama is still president of the United States,” he continued.
Scarborough srote on X, “Just curious: What is the ‘serious’ Trumper explanation for why Biden can’t order Seal Team Six to take out Trump right now, given that Trump says even presidential acts that ‘cross the line’ must be immune from criminal prosecution?”
“It is pure, sheer authoritarianism and tyranny,” chraged the TV host.
“We’ve been getting glimpses out of him shuffling around and looking lost, and getting up on stage talking about World War II, talking about President Obama, and here he did it again and said, ‘listen, President Obama may have bombed kindergartens, but he was trying to do good things. And when he leaves office, when he leaves office, he could face a conviction’. It’s crazy,” exclaimed Scarborough.
Trump previously dismissed confusion between Biden and Obama as sarcasm, attributing it to others’ influence and denying cognitive impairment.
Trump insisted, “Whenever I sarcastically insert the name Obama for Biden as an indication that others may actually be having a very big influence in running our Country.”
“Ron DeSanctimonious and his failing campaign apparatus, together with the Democrat’s Radical Left ‘Disinformation Machine,’ go wild saying that ‘Trump doesn’t know the name of our President, (CROOKED!) Joe Biden. He must be cognitively impaired,” he continued.
“No, I know both names very well, never mix them up, and know that they are destroying our Country,” he clarified.
