Trump goes on bizarre rant about 400-year-old mirror during Australia prime minister meeting

During a Monday meeting with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese at the White House, President Donald Trump went off on a bizarre rant after a cameraman accidentally hit a mirror.

The talks between the two were slated to focus on defense and trade — particularly on Australia's rare earth minerals, the AUKUS security pact and Chinese trade restrictions.

“You got to watch that. Watch that. You're not allowed to break that. That mirror is 400 years old. The camera just hit the mirror," Trump said.

“I just moved it up here special from the vaults," he continued as the Australian prime minister looked on. "And the first thing that happens, the camera hits it. Hard to believe, isn't it? Hard to believe. But these are the problems in life."

"A 400-year-old mirror gets more protection than our democracy," remarked one social media observer.

Psychologist Dr. John Gartner told The Daily Beast Podcast’s Joanna Coles that Trump's tendencies to go off on tangents points to his cognitive decline.

"He really is losing his ability to think clearly, to plan, to understand things and to inhibit his speech and his behavior,” Gartner said.
