The CEOs of several US companies went along as part of the push to secure new contracts for the US, including the heads of Amazon, Boeing, Google and Halliburton. Of course, President Musk was there.

The Saudis pulled out all the stops to make Trump feel at home, short of – we presume – stacking confidential documents in the bathroom, and turning his bedroom into a putting green.

In spite of the homely atmosphere, in one pretty embarrassing moment, the President appeared to lose his bearings and wander off in the wrong direction before being steered back.

Apparently, the table with the US flag and a single empty chair wasn’t enough of a visual cue for the almost 79-year-old. The internet collectively rolled its eyes.

BREAKING: In a shocking senile
moment, Donald Trump appears confused as he walks to the opposite side of the room and needed to be guided back to the right direction. Should we start asking if he’s fit enough for the job?— CALL TO ACTIVISM (@CalltoActivism) May 13, 2025

He looked like a Roomba that lost signal mid-spin—just bumping into diplomacy and hoping someone claps. If this guy’s leading the free world, we better start printing instructions on the carpets.
