In a recent Oval Office event, President Trump spoke for nearly an hour on various topics before nearly forgetting to sign a bill funding immigration and border enforcement. He discussed the refurbished Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool, downplayed inflation caused by his actions against Iran, and attacked Democrats. Despite questions about his mental acuity, he asserted his intelligence and the validity of his medical assessments. He also boasted about his plans to increase attacks on Iran and claimed his war would ultimately lower inflation.
