During a campaign event in Las Vegas over the weekend, Donald Trump made headlines by claiming that his Democratic opponents want to ban cows and windows in buildings, raising concerns about his mental fitness. Speaking to a crowd of Hispanic voters, the former president criticized Democrats, stating, “They just come up, they want to do things like no more cows and no windows in buildings. Honestly, they’re crazy, and they’re really hurting our country, badly.”
Trump's comments drew immediate backlash from Kamala Harris's presidential campaign, which took to social media to describe the remarks as “a confused Trump going on a delusional rant.” Other critics echoed this sentiment, calling the statements “stunningly senile” and “incoherent.” Nevada's Democratic Party also condemned Trump, remarking, “Trump came to town and questioned Nevadans’ values and rambled about cows and windows.”
This is not the first time Trump has claimed that Democrats want to eliminate cows. Earlier this summer, he suggested that if elected, Harris would pass laws outlawing red meat, which he connected to the disappearance of cows. Trump has also criticized the Green New Deal, a climate initiative backed by progressive Democrats, alleging that it would threaten the agricultural sector, including cows.
While Trump continues to assert these points, the Green New Deal does not advocate for the elimination of animal agriculture. Instead, it aims to collaborate with farmers to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the agricultural sector. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, one of the plan's proponents, has stated that the resolution does not entail ending cattle farming.
Trump's comments about cows and windows coincided with another unusual moment from his campaign, where he swayed and bobbed his head during a town hall meeting in Oaks, Pennsylvania. He also mistakenly told the crowd to vote on "January 5 or before," despite the election being scheduled for November 5. These incidents have fueled further discussions about Trump’s cognitive health.
In contrast, Harris recently released a medical report affirming her physical and mental resilience, stating that she is fit to carry out presidential duties if elected. This comes amid growing calls from over 230 healthcare professionals urging Trump to disclose his medical records, emphasizing the need for transparency regarding his health as he seeks to be the oldest president ever elected. Trump, however, dismissed these concerns, asserting on social media that his health is “PERFECT – NO PROBLEMS!!!”
