Trump mocked for new video responding to Biden taunts over his gaffes: ‘So easily triggered!’

Donald Trump is being mocked for hitting out at President Biden after he suggested he forgot the name of his wife, Melania Trump.

During an appearance on NBC‘s Late Night with Seth Meyers on Monday, Mr Biden, 81, who has repeatedly faced concerns over his age and cognitive ability, turned the tables on his opponent, who he claimed “can’t remember his wife’s name”.

Mr Biden later posted a video of his appearance on X, adding the caption: “The other guy and I are about the same age. The question in this election is: How old are your ideas? He wants to take us back 60 years. I’m focused on the future.”

The president was referring to an appearance by Mr Trump at the recent Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), where he appeared to refer to his wife Melania as “Mercedes”.

“Well look, my wife, our great first lady, she was great… people love her,” Mr Trump told the CPAC crowd on Saturday. The audience applauded, to which he responded, “Oh, look at that, wow. Mercedes, that’s pretty good!”

The comments were highlighted by some of Mr Trump’s opponents as evidence of his “cognitive decline”.

Mr Trump hit out at these accusations in a video posted to his Truth Social account on Wednesday, where he accused Democrats of being “really dishonest,” adding: “They make up things constantly.”

“The radical left Democrats are at it again. They’re constantly making up stories about me, because their candidate is a mental and physical basket case. There has never been anything like it,” he said.
