'Full Mental Decline': Donald Trump Forgets Kristi Noem's Name in Front of Cabinet Members

Kristi... who?

Donald Trump made a major mistake in front of his Cabinet members, sending social media into a frenzy over his “full mental decline.”

While introducing Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, the president embarrassingly forgot her name. When he attempted to fix the flub, he dug himself into an even bigger hole.

“Secretary of Homeland Security Cristie Kerr,” Trump said with Noem standing next to him at the podium.

The 79-year-old president, who is an avid golfer, clearly had the sport on his brain, as Kerr is a professional golfer.

Although shocking, Trump, in seconds, corrected his mistake and laughed it off with his Cabinet members beside him.

“Cristie Kerr, do you know who Cristie Kerr is?” the president asked. “She’s a friend of mine. Great golfer.”

“Kristi Noem, she’s a better golfer than you, that’s the only thing,” Trump continued. “But you’re better at a lot of other things, but I want to thank you for being here and for doing an unbelievable job.”

Noem handled the president’s mix-up well by keeping a smile on her face and imitating a golf swing; however, that didn’t stop social media users from tearing Trump down for being “Dementia Don.”

“Trump confusing Kristi Noem with a pro golfer is the mental equivalent of mixing up your dentures with your golf balls. The media knows, the public knows, and yet the circus keeps rolling. When does concern become urgent? Yesterday,” commented one on a viral X clip of the Tuesday, August 5, moment.

“Cognitive decline on live TV y’all,” wrote another.

Many others referred to the narrative of former President Joe Biden, which portrayed him as an absent leader who was unable to make or understand executive decisions due to a rapid decline in his cognitive abilities.

“They never acknowledged it with Biden. I wouldn’t expect much at this point,” said one.

“This isn’t about f------ Biden anymore, your Giant Orange Turd has been in office six months and declined every day, own up instead of hiding behind BS all the time!!” stated another.

Since taking office for his second term, Trump has been scrutinized for his health. While many are concerned that he could be on the brink of dementia — there’s reason to believe it could be a serious possibility.

Dementia actually runs in the Trump bloodline. The president’s nephew Fred Trump III joined The Dean Obeidallah Show in August 2024, where he discussed how Donald’s father, Fred Trump Sr., battled the disease for eight years before he died in 1999 at the age of 93.

“The things he’s spewing and the craziness, and he just can’t stick to a message,” Fred said of the president’s decline. “He used to be able to stick to a message.”
