Remember when he called himself a “very stable genius!” Hmmm… An Idiot Abroad. Trump tries to explain water to the Navy — then wanders off while meeting Japan’s Prime Minister. The same people who called Biden “senile” are dead silent now. It was supposed to be a show of strength: the commander-in-chief aboard an aircraft carrier in the Pacific, surrounded by sailors and flags. Instead, it was a brainfart in slow motion. Trump spent nearly twenty minutes rambling about magnets. Not defense strategy, not China, not even veterans — magnets. “You take a little glass of water, you drop it on magnets — I don’t know what’s going to happen,” he told the troops aboard the USS George Washington, before declaring that he’d sign an executive order to bring back “steam-powered catapults” and “hydraulic elevators.” At one point, he actually polled the audience: “Who prefers magnets? Who prefers hydraulics?” Sailors looked at each other in disbelief. Some laughed nervously. It was the kind of moment that would have dominated every front page — if Joe Biden had done it. But Trump wasn’t done. The next morning, during a welcoming ceremony in Tokyo, he seemed to lose track of where he was and walked away from Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi mid-procession. Cameras captured the awkward scene as a Secret Service agent gently redirected him back. No one shouted about it on Fox News. No pundits demanded a cognitive test. No endless cable loops calling it proof of decline. Yet just months ago, the same people mocked Biden for tripping on a sandbag. This isn’t about a stumble or a gaffe.This was a sitting president unraveling in real time — confusing basic technology, slurring through half-finished thoughts, and wandering off during a diplomatic event. Trump has insisted he “aced” a mental exam that asked him to identify animals like elephants and giraffes. Now, by his own admission, he’s taken another one — an MRI and a “very hard aptitude test” involving those same questions doctors use to check for dementia. It’s not hard to see why. The right spent years convincing voters that Biden’s age made him unfit for office. But what we’re watching with Trump isn’t age — it’s deterioration. He isn’t just forgetting words; he’s forgetting reality. A president who thinks water destroys magnets, who confuses himself mid-sentence, who loses his bearings beside a foreign leader — that’s not a punchline. That’s a crisis.
