US President Donald Trump sparked more speculation about his mental state as he wandered aimlessly and saluted at the wrong time during his visit to Japan. Sigurdur Nordal wrote on X: "Trump confused, saluting when he wasn't supposed to, and had to be shown the right way to walk by the PM of Japan." "During an official welcome ceremony in Tokyo, US President Donald Trump briskly walked ahead of Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, leaving his host momentarily trailing during the honor guard review," @PhoenixTVHK posted. "Japan’s PM repeatedly guided Trump along the route… but brief confusion still ensued."

@mrjeffu posted a video showing the current occupant of the White House walking past Japanese troops with the new prime minister of Japan, Sanae Takaichi. They said: "It looks like President Trump didn't realize he was supposed to stop in front of the US and Japanese flags. Prime Minister Takaichi seemed confused that Trump kept walking, and then followed proper protocol and bowed in front of the flags."
