Trump's comments on oil drilling and energy independence took a bizarre turn when he confused the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge with Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan, sparking widespread criticism.
He claimed, 'We were energy independent, we were soon going to be energy dominant,' only to mistakenly refer to Bagram when discussing oil drilling in Alaska, emphasizing his past achievements while muddling key facts.
The juxtaposition of ANWR and Bagram in Trump's speech not only showcased a significant mix-up but also elicited sharp social media responses, reflecting ongoing concerns about his cognitive clarity.
Critics like Amy McGrath highlighted the absurdity of Trump’s confusion, pointing out the stark differences between the oil-rich ANWR and the military background of the Bagram base.
