Trump mocked for forgetting words to US National Anthem

US president, Donald Trump was mocked on Twitter on Monday night after he appeared to stumble his way through the National Anthem during his appearance at the College Football Playoff National Championship Game between Alabama and Georgia.

Twitter also debated whether Trump’s fumble might be a sign of forgetfulness – and in turn, another sign that the 71-year-old might be developing dementia.

The public debate about Trump’s mental health has intensified in the face of author Michael Wolff’s assertion that the President is increasingly forgetful.

The Anthem was performed by the Zac Brown Band at Monday night’s game. Trump placed his right hand over his heart and he was flanked by military members who saluted.

He appeared to be fine at the start, clearly mouthing along to ‘say can you see, by the dawn’s early light…proudly we hailed’.
