Trump Mocked for Confusing Alaska Wildlife Refuge with Afghan Air Base at Michigan Rally

The former president's gaffe during a town hall has sparked renewed concerns about his cognitive abilities as he campaigns for re-election.

During a town hall in Flint, Michigan, Trump mistakenly referred to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) in Alaska as Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan.
The error occurred while Trump was discussing his energy policies and the oil drilling he approved in ANWR during his presidency.
Critics have used the gaffe to question Trump's cognitive abilities, drawing parallels to similar concerns previously raised about President Joe Biden.
Social media users and commentators have mocked Trump for the mistake, with some highlighting the lack of phonetic similarity between 'ANWR' and 'Bagram.'
Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who moderated the event, was also criticized for nodding in agreement during Trump's blunder.
