President Donald Trump appeared to get confused as he showered Rep. Tim Burchett with praise for a Fox News appearance, which he didn't make.
President Donald Trump made a rather awkward Truth Social faux pas.
The 79-year-old US leader took to Truth Social on Monday morning, specifically at 7:32 a.m., to prais Rep. Tim Burchett. "Republican (of course!) Congressman Tim Burchett was GREAT today on Fox & Friends - a Classic. His take on Marjorie “Traitor” Brown was 100% perfecto!!! Way to go, Tim!!! President DJT," he gushed in the early morning post.
However, Burchett did not actually appear on Fox & Friends on Monday. The program merely aired a brief, day-old clip of an interview he gave to Fox’s The Sunday Briefing, prompting critics to label the president as “confused.”
Trolls were quick to take to X to share their thoughts. Left-wing commentator Vince Wilson blasted, "This old man’s cognitive abilities are rapidly declining."
A second critic also poked fun at the president's gaffe, commenting, "It doesn't take much to confuse him, but it proves whose driving who."
"The president apparently can’t tell the difference between a preview and a live interview," a third pointed out. While another user suggested, "Imagine the media outrage if Biden had done that..."
"'Perfecto' - Now Trump thinks he speaks a little Espanol? After attacking every Spanish-speaker in the world with illegal assaults across the country?" a fifth person said.
Burchett’s appearance was to criticize Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s swift exit from the MAGA movement and, soon, Congress. The 61-year-old, who represents a portion of East Tennessee that is a short throw from Greene’s northwest Georgia district, said her political retirement in January is proof that Trump defeated her.
“President Trump’s the biggest dog in the pound,” he declared, adding, “You can take him on if you want, but the results are always the same.”
Fox Host Brian Kilmeade went on to suggest that Greene became obsessed with dropping in for chats on left-leaning programs, like ABC’s The View, and that she turned on her own people.
Greene, 51, has insisted that she holds Republican values, and part of her strife with Trump this year has been over his concealing of the same Epstein files that he promised to release and that millions of his voters are still clamoring to see.
She is also rumored to be eyeing a presidential run in 2028, trailing only Vice President JD Vance, who is in first, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who is a distant second.
Greene has maintained that she is not considering a run at the White House, writing in a statement addressing rumors of launching a presidential bid that she “never said I wanted to and have only laughed about it when anyone would mention it.”
