The White House's Rapid Response X account wanted to set the record straight after a clip of Trump being awkwardly led around by Japan's Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi went viral, but they only made matters worse.

MAGA Republican President Donald Trump went on a state visit to Japan for a meeting with the country's first female Prime Minister, Sanae Takaichi.

After a ceremonial meeting with Emperor Naruhito where Trump again broke an ally's royal protocol, shaking the Emperor's hand instead of bowing, the POTUS appeared confused and lost during a welcome ceremony with Prime Minister Takaichi.

Acyn, senior digital editor for MeidasTouch.com, shared a clip from Trump's welcoming ceremony.

Acyn routinely posts clips of newsworthy events, but this post evoked an angry reaction from the White House's Rapid Response 47 account.

They reshared Acyn's clip with a video of their own, captioned:

"Why didn't you share the full video, dumba**?"

The White House's full video—and their profane response to the clip—only made things worse by drawing more attention to Trump's embarrassing moment.

Rapid Response 47 lashed out at Acyn, but many are sharing videos from multiple sources capturing Trump's obvious confusion.






And the foreign press is having a field day with Trump's latest public display of cognitive decline.

The United Kingdom's Express titled their article "Trump health fears as 'confused' President salutes at wrong time and wanders aimlessly" while India's Hindustan Times wrote "Video showing Trump being guided around room by Japan’s PM creates buzz amid health concerns, Did White House react?"

Hindustan Times also shared a video on YouTube titled "Trump's Embarrassing Confusion In Japan, Wanders Off In Room While Meeting PM Takaichi."

India's CNN-News18 labeled their video "Donald Trump Appearing To Wander Ahead Of Takaichi During Ceremonial Inspection Of Guards."

The UK's Independent titled their YouTube compilation "Trump wanders off while meeting with Japanese prime minister."

And the UK's Mirror titled their YouTube video "Biden's Ghost Spooks Trump In Japan? POTUS Wanders Confused During Guard Of Honour, Takaichi Guides."

The Rapid Response 47 account can insult others for sharing the video on X all they want, but Trump is already an international laughingstock.

There's no putting that cat back in the bag, so maybe it's time to address Trump's health and fitness to serve.

MAGA Senator Slammed After Scolding Americans For Whining About High Gas Prices Amid Iran War—And Wow

Kansas Republican Senator Roger Marshall chastised Americans for complaining about high gas prices and insisted they should consider that their "national security is even more important" than whatever blows are being dealt to their wallets at the gas pump.

Consumer prices are up 3.3% compared to a year ago, largely fueled by a surge in energy costs. The energy index jumped 10.9% in a single month as oil and gas prices climbed sharply. Amid the Iran war and the U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, oil has risen back to around $100 a barrel, pushing gasoline prices up by a record 25%.

Kid Goes Viral After Leaving Sweet Note On Plane For The Person Sitting In Their Seat On The Next Flight

A lot is going on in our world right now that gives us pause, and some of us might feel our hearts breaking under the weight of all of it. That makes acts of kindness, no matter how small they are, more important than ever before.

X user @oatmilkanie shouted out an unidentified child who clearly got the memo when they boarded a plane and discovered that the child had written a note for the next person to sit in their seat, directly on the paper nausea bag that's snuggled in the seat pocket in front of the passenger's knees.

Woman Creeped All The Way Out After Finding Hidden Door In The Ceiling Of Her Airbnb

A lot of us already cannot sleep well when we're visiting someone else's home or staying in a hotel, because we're uncomfortable in a different bed and maybe even a little creeped out in the unusual space.

But discovering a whole other room with a creepy door would quickly transform a space from a rental to something out of a horror movie real quick for anybody.
