Megyn Kelly: Trump has lost “multiple steps mentally"

According to podcast host Megyn Kelly, former President Donald J. Trump has lost  “multiple steps” mentally and wasn't the same man he was in 2016 cognitively.

Kelly, who is also a former Fox News anchor, said Trump, 77, was starting to show his age — and it wasn’t pretty.

“There’s no question Trump has lost a step or multiple steps,” Kelly told conservative commentator Glenn Beck Friday. “He is confusing Joe Biden for [Barack] Obama … I know he’s now saying he intentionally did that — go back and look at the clips, it wasn’t intentional.”

“The reference about how somebody is going to get us into World War II, confusing countries, confusing cities where he is, and it’s happening more and more,” she said.

The difference, of course, between Trump and Biden is that Trump has the self awareness to cover up his verbal mistakes, and will also close the border, restore law and order, and scare our enemies. Biden will continue to be confused, corrupt, weak and dishonest, and will continue to allow illegal aliens, some of whom are terrorists, to enter the country.

“This is what happens when you’re 77-years-old. Trump seems inhuman, but he’s not inhuman. He’s a human. He’s a man,” Kelly continued. “DeSantis’ line about ‘Father Time spares no one,’ was a good one. So, look, if it’s between Trump and Biden, I don’t think there’s any question who’s more fit and more capable. But are we really going to pretend that Donald Trump is just as vibrant and mentally sharp as he was in ’16?” 

Kelly and Trump have a long personal history dating to the 2016 presidential election during a Fox News debate when she challenged Trump regarding some of his rhetoric regarding women.

The Kelly-Beck interview was immediately seized upon by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis who circulated the clip on X. Team DeSantis has tried to make hay of Trump’s age and has noted that ‘Father Time is undefeated.’ Of course, the same holds true for Biden and there is no question that Trump’s cognitive status far outperforms Biden, who seems unable to string a pair of thoughts together.

Trump has repeatedly confused President Biden for Obama in recent public statements — but has insisted the slip-ups have been intentional, which actually seems unlikely. 

“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,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post last month.
