Donald Trump Searches for Woman Sitting Right Next to Him
By: Jesus Mesa (Newsweek)
==============================================================================
Former President Donald Trump had an awkward moment at a recent Latino summit in Doral, Florida, when he failed to recognize Doral Mayor Christi Fraga, who was seated directly beside him.
"Where's Christi? Is she around?" Trump asked, scanning the room despite Fraga being right next to him. Fraga gently responded, "Right here," prompting laughter from the audience. Realizing his mistake, Trump exclaimed, "Oh, Christi! Christi, oh my Christi!" The light-hearted exchange was captured on video and quickly shared online.
The roundtable event, focused on issues relevant to Hispanic communities like economic growth and border security, had Trump addressing a room of supporters. He thanked several politicians, including Fraga, for their continued support.
"Oh Christi, my Christi. You've been great. We've worked together for 13 years. Thank you so much for everything," Trump said.
Despite the humorous moment, Trump shifted to more serious topics, emphasizing his administration's economic record and how he believes it benefited the Hispanic community more than the current Biden administration. Surrounded by Latino elected officials and business leaders, Trump argued that his policies led to stronger economic growth for Hispanic Americans.
Florida Republicans, including Miami Mayor Francis Suarez and U.S. Senator Rick Scott, highlighted Trump's past support for the Hispanic community. Scott, who is running for reelection, said that Trump is the best candidate to handle conflicts in Latin America and combat dictatorial regimes, from which many families in the audience had fled.
During his two-hour appearance, Trump also criticized Vice President Kamala Harris, his Democratic presidential election opponent, for her schedule, which he said lacked public events. "She's sleeping right now," Trump quipped. This followed Harris' remarks portraying Trump as "exhausted" after canceling several interviews, despite his active media presence with conservative outlets.
Trump praised Goya Foods, the largest Hispanic-owned food company in the U.S.
"It's actually quite good out of the can," he said, referring to the company's products. "I eat it whenever I can." Bob Unanue, Goya's CEO and a vocal Trump supporter, was also in attendance. Unanue expressed his frustration with Harris and the Biden administration, referring to her as "exploiter-in-chief."
The roundtable concluded with a prayer, with participants placing their hands on Trump's shoulders as he sat with his eyes closed. They asked for God's protection and strength for Trump, and prayed to "make America godly again."
Miami is home to one of the largest Hispanic populations in the U.S., with about 70 percent of Miami-Dade County's residents identifying as Hispanic, according to 2023 Census data. Throughout his campaign, Trump has heavily focused on appealing to young male voters, including Latinos. Recently, he appeared alongside Puerto Rican reggaeton stars Anuel AA and Nicky Jam—though he mistakenly referred to Nicky Jam by the wrong gender during his introduction—as part of his strategy to attract young Latino men.
Trump believes he has made significant inroads with Latino men, who could sway the outcome in key states like Pennsylvania, Arizona and Nevada if their traditional Democratic support shifts.
The dummies in the audience laughed aloud at this senior moment. No worries, they were laughing with him not at him.
And Biden once called out to a dead person in the audience but that was okay right?/s
Is it your opinion that Trump has the proper cognitive health to be PotUS?
My answer to that would be yes.
Mine too......
Same as tens of millions of other Americans.
Personally I would like to see anyone over 75 running for president take a cognitive test. I also have an issue taking an accusation that Trump is not capable seriously if made by the same folks that insisted Joe was mentally fit and needed no testing. Seems credibility is lacking.
Not mentally capable is the latest in a long list of accusations, including racist, Ender of Democracy, unfit and many others. Maybe the antichrist is next. I might have to ask my liberal brother in law for the full list, I am sure he knows them all.
It seems that ‘cognition is in the eye of the beholder’.
If he is not capable to fulfill his duties, then time will tell. If he is, and this is the frightening point, he has promoted so many things to subvert our democratic ideals that it remains a mystery why he still has a platform, much less a realistic chance. Shame does not begin to describe the potential ramifications.
Your vote for the former 'president' traitor is duly noted.
I question the cognitive health of those who don't question his.
The question was whether or not I thought Trump had the cognitive health to be PotUS and I answered yes. It was not asked whether I would vote for him or whether he would be a good one or not. If you have a problem with my answer to TiG it is on you not me, and what you "duly noted" or not is really of very little concern to me anyway.
I think he has already been accused of being the antichrist by some...
"You know what, honestly, nobody's ever asked me that question."
Gee, I wonder why.
Hitler is a more realistic comparison.
I believe Trumps nutcase spiritual adviser Paula White was one of the featured warm up acts for this event.
Meanwhile the lefts savior, Kamala-ala-flip flop takes the day off.
Awesome!
Its hard to tell if Trump makes these kinds of blunders because he's senile or because he is so absorbed in himself he doesnt notice anyone else. Its a coin flip.
No, she'd doing a couple of those interviews that the weird right wingers say she won't do.
She is exhausted and doesn't have the stamina to be president, Isn't that what the left would say about trump?
Why make such a ridiculous comment? Seriously, Trump is 78 years old with unknown medical conditions (will not release his medical report) while Harris just turned 60 and released her medical report showing she is in great health. She has shown no signs of fatigue whereas Trump has shown that he is either fatigued or losing his mind.
[✘]
Maybe she should consider the same
Unknown medical conditions means that we do not know if he has any medical conditions. Hello?
You think not campaigning every day means she is fatigued?? Does it not occur to you that she is also the sitting VP and is managing a campaign?
If Trump is not fatigued then I suppose that means he is losing his mind. How many presidential candidates do you know in history who talk about the size of a late famous golfer's junk? Or ramble on about Hannibal Lector? Or tell a Detroit audience that a Harris administration would make the country all look like Detroit? Or engage in an absurd narrative about Gettysburg ("Gettysburg ... Wow")? Or state that he would consider using the military against political opponents like Pelosi? Or claim that he will bring in an insane amount of revenue to pay for all his claimed programs by imposing gratuitous tariffs and not have clue one that this will inflate prices and stifle our economy?
Why do you defend this abysmal human being?
What a joke!
What is the problem, Goose? Trump refuses to release his medical records. Thus the public has no information about what medical conditions this 78 year old candidate might have. Why is this a joke?
Given his diet, lack of exercise other than golf, age, family history, and his obvious unhealthy weight, it is more likely than not that he has medical conditions.
Some info on family history:
Where were you when we asked Biden for a simple cognizant test ???
D E F L E C T I O N
Further, where do you find me arguing against Biden taking a cognitive test?
By now it should be obvious that defending Trump is a lost cause. If all one can do is deflect, lie, spin, etc. for Trump, that should be a clear indication that one is trying to defend the indefensible.
We never heard you agree to it when many were demanding it.
Now you can't say a damn thing about Trump.
That is some world-class feeble logic.
You create a bullshit condition that I must have penned a comment supporting Biden taking a cognitive test as a precondition for me to comment on Trump.
Laughably ridiculous.
Both - continues to decline mentally and physically before our eyes
Too late regarding 'losing his mind'
The only thing that you cut and pasted that has any bearing on DJ Trump is the first point, however, it does show that his father lived to 93 and his mother lived to 88, which gives a good indication of what DJTs lifespan could be. The only ones that are trying to say DJT is failing cognitively are the same ones who claimed Biden was sharp as a tack a week before he was booted out of the campaign. They did not start their screeching about his cognition after it was proven without a doubt that Biden has lost it. They figure the tactic (the truth) worked on Biden, it (wishful thinking) could work on Trump.
They failed.
The rest of your cut and paste has zero bearing on Trump's medical condition. To wit..
Unless DJT identifies as a woman, he has no fear of suffering from anything you posted his mother did, so that was a fail.
DJT does not drink, mainly because of what happened to his brother....another fail
You cannot opine on his younger brother because you, nor anyone else, has any clue as to why he died.
That is funnier than any sit-com currently on TV.
You conveniently ignore my point:
And instead focus on the family history aspect all the while missing the point that family history is a clue to genetic problems.
It is amusing watching someone attempt to argue —based on no supporting medical information about Trump— that an overweight 78 year old male with an unhealthy diet, insufficient exercise, and a family history of ailments has no real risk of health issues.
Trump refuses to release his medical report. Quite likely, per my argument, he has something to hide.
I did not ignore anything. I simply decided, like others on here, to ignore and not opine on matters that do not warrant opining. That was one of those times.
"And instead focus on the family history aspect all the while missing the point that family history is a clue to genetic problems"
Uh, no. If you paid attention to what I wrote, I specifically opined on point one which highlights his dad's Alzheimer's but also noted that, per his GENETICS, he has a good chance of living to the ages of his parents.....a good decade or better away. Your other cut and paste points were a waste of time.
"It is amusing watching someone attempt to argue —based on no supporting medical information about Trump— that an overweight 78 year old male with an unhealthy diet, insufficient exercise, and a family history of ailments has no real risk of health issues."
Point where I said I believe he has no medical issues. Your answer should be a blank spot because I didn't say anything like that.
"rump refuses to release his medical report. Quite likely, per my argument, he has something to hide."
Maybe, maybe not. That is simply your opinion.
You are attempting to argue against the idea (my point) that an overweight 78 year old male with an unhealthy diet, insufficient exercise, and a family history of ailments has a very likely risk of health issues.
If you recognize the potential medical conditions for Trump then you agree with me (and agree with common sense). Make up your mind.
Delusional.
I got your point the first time. You don't have to point it out. I correctly pointed out that he has a risk of Alzheimer's because of his father. I did not mention anything else about his health. What you imagined is not my problem.
"If you recognize the potential medical conditions for Trump then you agree with me (and agree with common sense)"
Everyone has potential health conditions. Wanting accolades for something that never happened is not my problem, and something I will not give you.
BTW....Have you ever heard of HIPPAA?
If you have, and I understand Trump is running, and winning, for president, but BY LAW, he does not have to divulge any of his health record. Not to me, not to you or any other hand wringing leftist.
Get over it.
Or just as likely a middle finger to those that would say a toothache he had 10 years ago makes him medically unfit for office. The trumphaters are getting more and more desperate with every poll that comes out.
He may very well have health issues or a potential for some in his future. And?
You don't think he should though? What if he had an ingrown toenail 3 years ago. People have a right to know.
You do not think the electorate should be informed of potentially serious health issues in someone who might be elected PotUS?
Not the point.
The point is an overweight 78 year old male with an unhealthy diet, insufficient exercise, and a family history of ailments has a very likely risk of health issues. The point is that any such condition should not be hidden from the public.
He is not required by law to divulge his medical records (your strawman) but it is the right thing to do. Of course, Trump does not give a shit about convention or being respectful to the public. Trump cares only about Trump.
And he has his faithful minions to try to defend him at every turn.
I mean...
I didn't think about it when Biden ran at 78. I have never thought about it before, why should I now? Oh.......... that's right.
Balances out his haters that have to attack him at every turn.
Lets not forget Bidens minions actively lied to the American people about Joes condition, Kamala still does. And all the American people get is "nothing to see here" about that. The hypocrisy is mind boggling.
You should have. I was certainly critical of Biden running for PotUS at 77 and 78.
The PotUS is an extremely important position and should be held by people between (roughly) 45 and 65 IMO. That age range gives time to gain experience and wisdom while still being youthful enough to be in top form.
Why are you trying to balance out the criticism? That is nuts. Trump is, by far, the most unfit person nominee for the presidency in our lifetimes and arguably in the history of our nation. Trying to 'balance out' the criticism is a disservice to the nation and fundamentally dishonest. Supporting / defending Trump is irrational, irresponsible, and unpatriotic.
The tiresome and endless defense of the indefensible
It is the point and definitely not a strawman. The LAW states he does not have to divulge his medical record. You don't like it, get the law changed or get over it.
"he point is an overweight 78 year old male with an unhealthy diet, insufficient exercise, and a family history of ailments has a very likely risk of health issues."
You have no idea if he is considered overweight, what his overall diet is or if he exercises. Even if he does fit all of what you imagine, he still does circles around Biden and Harris, cognitively and physically.
"Of course, Trump does not give a shit about convention or being respectful to the public. Trump cares only about Trump."
One has to remember that he was a democrat the majority of his life, so maybe that is just something as a democrat politician to shake off.
"And he has his faithful minions to try to defend him at every turn."
Only thing that is faithful is leftists that will criticize his every move, make opinions and try and pass them off as fact, and live with the name Trump on their minds 24/7.
S T R A W M A N. It is a strawman because I have never even hinted that Trump is required to release his medical records.
It is also deflection from my point:
The point is an overweight 78 year old male with an unhealthy diet, insufficient exercise, and a family history of ailments has a very likely risk of health issues. The point is that any such condition should not be hidden from the public.
Fantasy.
T H E T R U T H
"It is also deflection from my point: "
I answered your "point" directly
Move on
"The point is an overweight 78 year old male with an unhealthy diet, insufficient exercise, and a family history of ailments has a very likely risk of health issues. "
And I told you that you have zero proof of what you say. Let me guess...the media told you he likes McDonalds (sigh)
"Fantasy."
Delusional
If you consult her schedule you'll know that's a lie.
By all means, share her schedule Canadian chief of staff for Harris
In his senile old mind he was picturing Chris Christie.
No Christi Noem
He's moved on from Loomer and Habba already?
The puppy killer! lol
Moved on from one crazy bitch to the next
They must really like mushrooms.
It’s completely understandable that Trump overlooked the mayor, after all to him brown people all look alike.
