US President Donald Trump has been accused of suffering a ‘cognitive collapse’ after making historical errors about World War II, including suggesting that Vladimir Putin fought in the war. The comments were made during a White House press conference on Thursday, where Trump discussed commemorations with French President Emmanuel Macron.
Trump stated that he spoke to Putin at the time and suggested that Russia lost 51 million people, implying that Putin personally fought in the war. However, this contradicts historical facts, as Putin was born seven years after World War II ended. The Soviet Union, which fought alongside the Allied forces, suffered 24 million civilian and military deaths during the war.
Trump’s remarks were quickly ridiculed on social media, with many calling for his comments to be “explanatory.” Others questioned his cognitive ability, with some suggesting that he may have a “delusional” mental state. The incident has raised concerns about Trump’s health and led to calls for him to address the issue.
The White House has not commented on Trump’s comments or whether they are a cause for concern. However, Trump’s remarks have sparked debate about his ability to lead, with some calling for age limits for the presidency.
