'Is Trump ok?' Observers erupt after Trump appears to 'confuse the state he's in' at rally

Donald Trump on Saturday shouted out North Carolina from the stage while speaking at his rally in Pennsylvania, leading some observers to ask if the former president simply forgot where he was.

Trump, who earlier in the speech admitted to going "off teleprompter" to insult his former political foe, Joe Biden, was talking about how long his speeches are when he made the possible error. He was specifically noting that people demand he speak more than Biden.

"They have a tent, and the tent is set up. They have hundreds of them, and they wait," Trump said.

"And then I walk in, and speak for 15 minutes, and leave. I don't know... Would that be ok, North Carolina?" Trump asked the attendees of his rally located in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.

The backlash online came instantly.

No that they will, but maybe even his rally attendees—those not paid to show up—will finally see that he is not normal and belongs nowhere the White House.

Can you imagine the attention it would have gotten had it been Biden?

MSM would have been on it 24/7. Do you think any in MSM will mention that Trump didn't know where he was?

what if Harris or Walz or even Biden would've said what he did about vets and the medal of honor? There would've been a nuclear media meltdown of epic proportions. There's always a double standard for Dems...always. Look no further than Al Franken for another example. What he did was wrong but the Repukes have numerous pervs in office who are much worse. Orange Shitler, Gaetz, etc....

Even with the very psychotic patients I could usually get the drift of what they were
saying.

But Trump is hard to follow.

When asked why he quit, he said it was because he started to tell everybody to get a divorce.

Sometimes it doesn't make sense for a couple to spend years in therapy
constantly dealing with major issues all the time.

He doesn't know what state he's in or what normal is.
How can he be so depraved?
