President Donald Trump was mercilessly mocked after a moment during a panel at the United Nations
General Assembly. He appeared unaware that Secretary of State and newly named National
Security Advisor Marco Rubio sat right next to him. During the event, Trump thanked Rubio,
stating,
I'd like to thank the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio.
However, Trump then asked,
Where's Marco?
While Rubio was directly seated on his right.
Rubio had to point to himself,
prompting laughter and sparking a wave of Marco Polo jokes on social media.
One user quipped,
Well, he is little Marco,
referring to Trump's nickname for him during the 2016 campaign.
Critics expressed concern with comments like,
A literal dementia patient is running the country. This is embarrassing.
Others questioned Trump's capability, wondering,
Do you think Trump can handle crises when he doesn't even know who is beside him?
Rubio is attending the UN General Assembly as both Secretary of State and National Security Advisor.
Concerns about Trump's cognitive abilities have been amplified,
especially following recent public appearances.
A recent poll revealed that about 59% of voters feel
the White House lacks clarity on his medical status.
