AOC Raises A Red Flag On Trump: ‘Everyone Is Pretending This Is Normal’

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on Wednesday added her voice to growing concerns about Donald Trump’s mental acuity, saying the president “has been acting in increasingly erratic ways.”

Trump has drawn renewed scrutiny this week following a rambling press briefing marking his first year back in office — which critics labeled “incoherent” — and his address to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where he repeatedly went off on irrelevant tangents.

In a brief interview with Pablo Manríquez, the editor of Migrant Insider, Ocasio-Cortez contrasted the intense media scrutiny of Joe Biden’s health during his presidency with what she said was a lack of similar attention on Trump.

Trump’s behavior “is increasingly erratic and alarming, and everyone is pretending that this is normal,” she said. “I don’t really understand why that is. It is very bizarre.”

“But then, importantly, I think that for our European partners and for our global partners, I think what they also see is the result of not just one man but also the entire government apparatus and a party that is willing to watch someone decompensate in front of the world and do nothing about it,” she added.
