Donald Trumpās repeated gaffes, non sequiturs and unusual behavior have opened the door to questions from opponents about the 78-year-old Republican presidential nomineeās mental and physical fitness.
From bopping to the beat of his music playlist for nearly 40 minutesĀ at a recent swing state town hallĀ to his pro-Vladimir Putin blaming of Ukraine forĀ Russiaās invasion, to criticizing former President Abraham Lincoln for not āsettlingā the Civil War, to riffing on locker room gossip aboutĀ a pro golferās anatomy, Trump is providing plenty of fodder for rivals whoāve declared him āunhingedā and worse.
