That is irresponsible of the Republican Party!"---------------------------- Merkur Afghanistan or Alaska: Donald Trump's faux pas becomes a laughing stock Article by Simon Schröder • 2 hours • 2 minutes reading time Trump's age in focus of US election Afghanistan or Alaska: Donald Trump's faux pas becomes a laughing stock Trump moves Bagram to Alaska. This faux pas is causing a lot of ridicule from Harris' campaign. In the US election, Trump's age is also increasingly under the microscope. Washington D.C. - At a rally in the run-up to the 2024 US election, former President Donald Trump made an embarrassing mistake. While discussing the Middle East and energy policy, he mentioned the American Air Force, saying, "We have Bagram in Alaska. They say it could be as big (militarily, ed.) - maybe even bigger - than all of Saudi Arabia." The mistake: Bagram is in Afghanistan, not Alaska. Kamala Harris' campaign team was quick to capitalize on the Republican presidential candidate's misstep. An X-account posted a video clip and commented, "In a stunningly senile moment, Donald Trump tried to show how much he knows about the Air Force by claiming that Bagram Airfield is in Alaska." This faux pas could come back to haunt the 78-year-old Trump in the 2024 US election, as he has often poked fun at his opponent, President Joe Biden, in the past. Trump's criticism of Biden's age could backfire in the US election Trump has often criticized Biden for his age. He claimed that the 81-year-old president was too old and senile to lead the country, let alone become president again after the 2024 US elections. During a TV debate between the two, Biden kept lapses and appeared frail. Republicans used such moments to attack the president. Trump's nickname for the president was "Sleepy Joe," a reference to his age. However, Trump avoided making fun of Biden's age directly and instead liked to mock his frailty. Now the Harris campaign seems to be using a similar tactic. After withdrawing from the campaign for the 2024 US elections, Biden took his age with humor. During a visit to Shanksville, Pennsylvania, on the anniversary of September 11, he was asked by a Trump supporter: "Do you remember your name?" Biden humorously replied: "I don't remember my name. I'm slow." Biden takes his age with humor - Trump will need a new strategy against Harris The Trump fan continued: "You're an old geezer." Biden's answer: "Yes, I know, I'm an old guy. I know, you know that too." Biden then swapped hats with the man and wore a Trump cap for a few moments. Compared to Biden, Kamala Harris seems fit, energetic and ready to fight. Trump will have to come up with a new strategy to compete against her. (sischr)
