**Donald Trump Fuels Dementia Rumors with Bizarre Comments on Walking Down Stairs**
*Published: Oct. 1, 2025 | 4:00 p.m. ET*
Donald Trump has sparked renewed dementia rumors following a baffling rant in which he admitted to struggling to walk down flights of stairs, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
During a speech at the Marine Corps base in Quantico, Trump joked about falling down stairs being a top risk as president while addressing a room full of elite U.S. military officials. The event was organized for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s rollout of controversial new military standards.
### Trump Says He Has to Walk “Very Slowly” on Stairs
In his jumbled address to the nation’s top military brass, Trump took a swipe at former President Joe Biden, 82, who has been seen struggling with stairs and has started wearing special shoes for support.
Trump mockingly said:
“Every day, the guy’s falling down stairs. I’m very careful. You know, when I walk downstairs – like I’m on stairs like these stairs – I walk very slowly. Nobody has to set a record. Just try not to fall because it doesn’t work out well… Just walk nice and easy. You don’t have to set any record.”
### ‘Dementia Don’ Accusations Ramp Up
Trump’s Quantico speech quickly became the latest incident cited by critics claiming the 79-year-old is unfit for office. On social media, one user shared a clip of Trump rambling about descending stairs, captioned:
“Trump’s dementia takes more detours than a lost Uber driver.”
Another user commented:
“At this point [10:19 EST] during Trump’s hideous speech to generals and admirals at Quantico, he has begun slurring and struggling to pronounce words. The generals and admirals are witnessing that we don’t have a commander-in-chief, we have a dementia patient in the White House.”
### Gov. Pritzker Calls for Trump’s Removal from Office
While Trump’s rare admission of his mobility concerns raised eyebrows, it was not the most alarming statement from his nearly hour-long speech.
He declared, “America is under invasion from within,” and reiterated his promise to deploy National Guard troops to Democratic-run cities across the country. Trump even suggested Chicago could serve as “training grounds for our military.”
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker responded by calling for Trump’s removal from office, expressing deep concerns about the president’s health:
“There is something genuinely wrong with this man.”
Pritzker further explained:
“It appears that Donald Trump not only has dementia set in, but he’s copying tactics of Vladimir Putin. Sending troops into cities, thinking that’s some sort of proving ground for war, or that indeed there’s some internal war going on in the United States, is just, frankly, insane. I’m concerned for his health. There is something genuinely wrong with this man, and the 25th Amendment ought to be invoked.”
### Trump’s Concerning Health Signs Continue to Draw Attention
This is not the first time Trump’s mental and physical health have come under scrutiny. After photos of the president’s swollen ankles circulated widely, the White House disclosed that he was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a condition affecting blood circulation.
Additionally, Trump has been photographed with unusual bruising on his hands, which appeared to be poorly concealed with makeup. The White House dismissed these visible bruises, attributing them to the Commander-in-Chief shaking many hands.
As speculation grows, many watchdogs and political figures continue to raise alarms about Trump’s capacity to serve, spotlighting his recent public appearances as evidence of deteriorating health.
