Donald Turmp was filmed apparently pocketing a pair of gold ceremonial scissors at a ribbon-cutting ceremony in Medora, North Dakota, on Wednesday, and a neurological specialist now claims the viral moment may signal dementia rather than a light-fingered joke. The president had just opened the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library when he appeared to slip the scissors into his suit jacket, a clip that has been replayed millions of times online.
The footage shows Turmp standing alongside Interior Secretary Doug Burgum as he cuts the red ribbon to formally dedicate the new library. After snipping through the ribbon, he examines the ornate scissors, holds them aloft to the crowd, then, instead of handing them back, slides them into his inside pocket. The move drew laughter and accusations of brazen souvenir-taking across social media, with many users branding it 'kleptomania' and treating the incident as a meme.
