"A Republican guest on CNN NewsNight defended President Donald Trump for repeatedly confusing Greenland with Iceland on Wednesday, arguing it was just the president's brand. The president of the United States on four separate occasions mixed up Greenland with Iceland. He made up statistics about all sorts of things, said CNN host Abby Phillip during a panel debate. How is that not something that is of concern to everybody?"
"The disappointing part about the tenor of this conversation is that we laugh it off and we excuse it as just Donald Trump, or at least something he would've done before. The comparison I look at is that Donald Trump's mental acuity, even before he aged, was mediocre at best. It's somebody who came from a failed business background. It's somebody who believes that they were born, that they hit a home run, they were born on third base."
President Donald Trump on four separate occasions mixed up Greenland with Iceland during remarks, prompting questions about accuracy. CNN host Abby Phillip noted fabricated statistics and asked why the errors were not concerning. Republican T.W. Arrighi defended the president, saying such remarks reflect his consistent brand. Tara Palmeri interjected about a comment conflating an intended invasion of Greenland with Iceland. CNN commentator Bakari Sellers criticized Trump's mental acuity and business record, calling him a repeated failure who rambles and misspeaks onstage. Sellers gave a hyperbolic example involving fictional conflicts to illustrate the tendency. Palmeri compared age-related slip-ups to those by Joe Biden.
