'Confused' and 'befuddled' Trump told to sit back down because it wasn’t his turn to speak

President Donald Trump seemed confused at the Israeli parliament Monday, where he was slated to give a speech celebrating the release of the 20 surviving hostages taken by Hamas on October 7, 2023, reports The Daily Beast.

According to the Beast, "the awkward slip came during the 79-year-old’s marquee address to the Knesset, after Hamas freed the last 20 surviving hostages and Israel started to release some 2,000 Palestinian prisoners."

Trump, the oldest sitting president in United States history, has faced scrutiny over his health, despite the fact that the White House released a gushing statement Friday claiming he was in exceptional shape following his second visit to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in six months.

The president, says The Daily Beast, has been "apparently confused during public moments," and this latest trip to Israel was no exception.

After Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s opening speech, Trump stood up to speak, but was suddenly stopped by Amir Ohana, the speaker of the Knesset, reports The Daily Beast.

Ohana, they write, "gently put his hand on Trump’s left arm, to remind him that the opposition leader, Yair Lapid, was up next, leaving Trump looking slightly befuddled as he could be heard exclaiming, 'Oh.'"

Ohana then told Trump, "You're the last speaker."

Last month, psychologists John Gartner and Harry Segal said on a podacst that the Trump's "recurring confusion, word slips, and meandering speech patterns are consistent with what they described as early cognitive decline."
