**Donald Trump Fuels Dementia Rumors with Latest Unhinged Rant on Mobility and Military Matters**
*Published Oct. 1, 2025, 4:00 p.m. ET*
Donald Trump has once again sparked rumors about his cognitive health following a bizarre and unhinged rant in which he confessed to struggling to walk down flights of stairs, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
During a speech to a room full of elite U.S. military officials at the Marine Corps base in Quantico, Trump oddly joked that falling down stairs is one of the top risks as president. The military leaders had been summoned for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s rollout of controversial new military standards.
### Trump Says He Has to Walk ‘Very Slowly’ on Stairs
At one point in his jumbled address to the nation’s top military brass, Trump took a pointed jab at former President Joe Biden, 82. After several public incidents where Biden appeared to struggle navigating stairs—and subsequently began wearing special shoes for support—Trump mocked him, saying:
> “Every day, the guy’s falling down stairs. I’m very careful. You know, when I walk downstairs—like I’m on stairs like these stairs—I walk very slowly. Nobody has to set a record. Just try not to fall because it doesn’t work out well… Just walk nice and easy. You don’t have to set any record.”
### ‘Dementia Don’ Accusations Ramp Up
Trump’s Quantico speech quickly became the latest focal point for critics who claim the 79-year-old is unfit for office.
One user on X posted a clip of Trump rambling about descending stairs, captioning it, “Trump’s dementia takes more detours than a lost Uber driver.”
Another remarked:
> “At this point 10:19 EST during Trump’s hideous speech to generals and admirals at Quantico, he has begun slurring and struggling to pronounce words. The generals and admirals are witnessing that we don’t have a commander and chief; we have a dementia patient in the White House.”
### Gov. Pritzker Calls for Trump’s Removal from Oval Office
While Trump’s rare admission of his mobility concerns was shocking, it was far from the most eyebrow-raising comment during his nearly hour-long speech.
He declared to his top generals and officers that “America is under invasion from within” and doubled down on his promise to deploy National Guard troops to Democratic-run cities across the country.
After Trump suggested Chicago could be used as “training grounds for our military,” Illinois Governor JB Pritzker responded by calling for the president’s removal, citing serious concerns about his health and mental state.
> “There is something genuinely wrong with this man,” Pritzker said. “It appears that Donald Trump not only has dementia set in, but he’s copying tactics of Vladimir Putin.”
Pritzker continued:
> “Sending troops into cities, thinking that that’s some sort of proving ground for war, or that indeed there’s some sort of internal war going on in the United States, is just, frankly, insane, and I’m concerned for his health. The 25th Amendment ought to be invoked.”
### Trump Poorly Conceals Concerning Bruises on Hands
This isn’t the first time Trump’s mental and physical health has raised eyebrows.
After photos of the president’s swollen ankles went viral, the White House announced he had been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency—a condition that affects blood flow.
Trump has also been photographed with unusual bruising on his hands, seemingly poorly concealed with makeup. The White House dismissed these visible bruises as the result of the Commander-in-Chief shaking so many hands.

As concerns about Trump’s health continue to mount, the debate over his fitness for office intensifies, especially among military officials and political leaders watching his recent public appearances.
