Megyn Kelly, the podcast host and former Fox News anchor, recently expressed her concerns about the mental fitness of former President Donald Trump.
In a conversation with conservative commentator Glenn Beck, Kelly suggested that Trump's cognitive abilities have significantly declined since his 2016 presidential campaign.
"Theres no question Trump has lost a step or multiple steps," Kelly stated. She pointed out instances where Trump had mistakenly referred to current President Joe Biden as former President Barack Obama. "He is confusing Joe Biden for [Barack] Obama I know hes now saying he intentionally did that go back and look at the clips, it wasnt intentional," she added.
Kelly also highlighted Trump's increasing tendency to mix up geographical locations and his alarming references to potential global conflicts. "The reference about how somebody is going to get us into World War II, confusing countries, confusing cities where he is, and its happening more and more," she noted.
Kelly further emphasized the inevitability of aging, even for someone as seemingly invincible as Trump. "This is what happens when youre 77-years-old. Trump seems inhuman, but hes not inhuman. Hes a human. Hes a man," she said. She also quoted Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' remark that 'Father Time spares no one,' and questioned the comparison between Trump and Biden's fitness for office.
Trump's primary opponents, particularly Governor DeSantis, have capitalized on these observations. DeSantis' team has been highlighting Trump's age and using the phrase 'Father Time is undefeated' to their advantage.
Kelly and Trump share a tumultuous history dating back to the 2016 presidential election, when Trump dismissed her challenging questions by making derogatory comments about her.
Despite the criticism, Trump has insisted that his misnaming of Biden was intentional. He defended himself in a post on Truth Social last month, stating, "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 Democrats Radical Left Disinformation Machine, go wild saying that Trump doesnt know the name of our President, (CROOKED!) Joe Biden. He must be cognitively impaired."
