"The midterm strategy is examining another man's a-- live on stage. How is this real?" someone questioned.
"Someone needs to examine his head," another wrote.
"Just resign. You don't have to keep doing this," a user declared.
"There should be looks of horror, or at least deep concern, on the faces of those in the audience for this President. Instead, they treat the sad spectacle of the Commander-in-Chief's obvious descent into dementia as a big joke. This is what the fall of an empire looks like," a comment read.
Someone else said, "Okay, this is getting ridiculous."
