Donald Trump recently met with the UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the two had a lot to talk about. The high-profile meeting generated significant buzz, specially due to a shocking response from the American president when asked about his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky. Following his blunder, many are concerned about Trump’s health status. During the meeting at the White House, he was seated beside Starmer, taking questions from the press. When a reporter asked the U.S. president if he remained firm about his opinion that Zelensky is a “dictator.”
It is evident that the question was intended to put him in a spot and to see whether he would have the confidence to brand the Ukrainian president again in front of another world leader. But to everyone’s surprise, Donald Trump responded, “Did I say that? I can’t believe I said that.”
Previously, on multiple occasions, President Trump called Volodymyr Zelensky a “dictator,”. The latest comment arrived after the Ukrainian leader expressed his outrage over not being part of the U.S. president’s conversation with Vladimir Putin. While speaking in Florida a few days ago, Trump mocked Zelensky’s approval saying, “He refuses to have elections. He’s low in the real Ukrainian polls. How can you be high with every city being demolished?” Then he went on to brand him as a “dictator.” Notably, he refused to say the same about Putin when a journalist asked his thoughts during the meeting with French president Emmanuel Macron.
Now, his latest response has shocked everyone, specially when he called Zelensky a “dictator” only a week ago. On the internet, people engaged in discussions over Donald Trump’s health. Many wondered if the president is battling dementia or other memory-loss related issues that often come with age.

The timing of his shocking blunder is also notable. Anthony Scaramucci, once a dedicated Trump supporter, who worked on his presidential campaign, recently parted with the White House to become an outspoken critic. Before his meeting with the POTUS, Keir Starmer was warned by Scaramucci. The former Trump supporter advised the UK Prime Minister to walk around carefully around someone he thinks is “dangerous.” “Trump’s obviously got something wrong with him,” Anthony said on the Off Air… with Jane and Fi podcast, “I would say to Keir Starmer the guy is unwell and he’s surrounded by willing sycophants that want to pretend that he’s not unwell.”
It is hard to confirm whether Scaramucci was indicating to the 78-year-old president’s health condition, or something else. However, he repeatedly warned about the chaos that could ensue after witnessing the beginning of Donald Trump’s second term in office.
