Donald Trump prompted a fresh wave of concern about his health on Monday night in New York City, after the 79-year-old president appeared to forget the name of the Lincoln Memorial during a live C‑SPAN interview at JFK International Airport. The moment came as Trump spoke to reporters about the NBA Finals and the war in Iran, before veering into a boast about recent changes he has ordered in Washington.

The news came after Trump travelled to Madison Square Garden to watch Game 3 of the NBA Finals, leaving the arena on 8 June and heading straight to the airport for his flight back to Washington, DC. In recent months, he has pushed through a number of conspicuous capital projects, including a $400 million White House ballroom and a new promenade for the Lincoln Memorial, both of which have drawn criticism from opponents who see them as vanity ventures rather than necessary upgrades.
