While discussing the status of the war during a Cabinet meeting on Wednesday, President Donald Trump gave a confusing answer to a question about the Strait of Hormuz, appearing to either confuse Iran with the nearby Gulf state of Oman, or threaten to attack the latter, which is a key US ally.<\/p>\n

“Oman will behave just like everyone else,\u201d said the Commander in Chief, \u201cor we’ll have to blow them up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Economist Middle East correspondent Gregg Carlstrom was quick to share his thoughts on the slip, posting<\/u>, \u201cWe are so far into \u2018mad king\u2019 territory that the White House may not even bother to clarify whether Trump just confused Oman with Iran or is indeed threatening to bomb Oman.\u201d <\/p>\n

The State Department went on to tweet Trump\u2019s quote<\/u>. Whether that verifies that he indeed meant Oman or is an attempt to pass off a gaffe as intentional is up for debate, and either is just as likely based on prior behavior. Whatever the case, it has experts worried.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat needs to be understood about this comment is that it does not come from the mind of Donald Trump alone. It comes from the minds of his closest advisors and inner circle that led us to this disaster,\u201d said noted security expert Brett Erickson<\/u> of the incident. \u201cThe same \u2018advisors\u2019 that pushed for [war with Iran] have been whispering in the ear of Trump that Qatar is the enemy. Oman is the enemy. NATO is the enemy. Everyone is the enemy if they do not blindly support the zealots and cult leaders within this administration\u2026 Bombing Oman? That\u2019s exactly what we need. ANOTHER war from the \u2018no new wars\u2019 President.\u201d<\/p>\n

If it were the case that Trump confused Oman with Iran, it would represent yet another gaffe that is sure to contribute to speculations about his mental fitness. Some have suggested that the president\u2019s frequent tendency to swap words \u2014 like Oman and Iran \u2014 could be a sign of early dementia<\/u>. Verbal problems such as this and other issues prompted a body of 36 leading medical experts<\/u> to send a letter to Congress in April, in which they argued that Trump may be mentally unfit to serve. <\/p>\n

One of the signatories, Dr. Henry David Abraham, professor of psychiatry emeritus at Tufts University School of Medicine, noted an example similar to Trump\u2019s Oman\/Iran moment: when he repeatedly confused Greenland and Iceland during a speech earlier this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot only did he have these kinds of linguistic failings,\u201d said Dr. Abraham, \u201cbut he began to exhibit more and more signs of rage and poor impulse control.\u201d<\/p>\n

And according to Harry Segal<\/u>, senior lecturer in the Psychology Department at Cornell University and in the Psychiatry Department at Weill Cornell Medicine, \u201cRecently, several clinicians have noted the ways he has begun to mistake words, lose his train of thought, confuse Biden with Obama, particularly during long rallies held in the evening. There are examples of phonemic paraphasia \u2014 swapping parts of words for others that sound similar; these are signs of early dementia.\u201d<\/p>\n
