Trump, 80, Posts Mystery Woman as 'Great Daughter,' Sparking Dementia Jibes

Summary

  • A Saturday-night Truth Social post from Donald Trump showed an unidentified blonde woman with the caption, “Great daughter, My Honor!!! President DJT,” leaving users unclear who she was or what he meant.
  • Internet sleuths floated competing identifications, including former wife Marla Maples and Margo Catsimatidis, but no explanation had emerged and the White House was asked for comment.
  • Critics quickly turned the confusion into fresh attacks on Trump’s mental acuity, reviving a line of criticism that has followed him since he became the oldest president to take office.
  • Hours later, ahead of Father’s Day, Trump returned to Truth Social with a conventional holiday message touting jobs, stocks and the economy.
