WATCH: Trump Speaks With D-Day Veterans In Heartwarming Clip

On the solemn 80th anniversary of D-Day, former President Donald Trump shared a moment with veterans, offering his gratitude and respect during a call on Air Force One.

“It’s an honor to listen to you. It’s a real honor,” Trump told the veteran on the Zoom call. “I have all the time you want!”

“I hope you stay healthy [for] a good fight in November,” the World War II vet told Trump.

“I’ll make you a deal! I’ll see you in the White House in January,” Trump said. “You’ll be my first group!”

While Trump’s engagement with D-Day veterans showcased a connection to America’s military history, President Joe Biden’s appearance at the 80th-anniversary event in Normandy seemed less assured. Joined by world leaders such as French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Biden participated in the ceremony that marked a pivotal moment in World War II—the monumental U.S.-led invasion which is celebrated as the largest naval assault in history.

Despite the gravity of the occasion, however, Biden appeared visibly weary during the event. Video clips from the ceremony show him resting his eyes and displaying moments of stiffness, which was described as “robotic.” The instances have only intensified ongoing discussions about his fitness for office and raised questions about his potential second term, especially as he appeared to exit the ceremony earlier than planned, missing a significant opportunity to greet veterans alongside President Macron.

The optics were further complicated by an awkward moment captured on video, where Macron and his spouse, along with Jill Biden, appeared unsure how to react as Biden seemed to momentarily keel over during the ceremony.

The overseas trip provided Biden a stage to rebuke what he called a growing “isolationist” movement in the U.S. and around the world as disillusionment with globalism continues to spread. Leaders in Argentina, India, and other major nations have tapped into a sentiment catalyzed by the 2016 election of former President Donald Trump. “Isolation was not the answer 80 years ago, and is not the answer today,” Biden told the crowd, a coy reference to his Republican rival.

“The men who fought here became heroes, not because they were the strongest, toughest or fiercest, although they were, but because they were given an audacious mission,” he said. “They knew that things are worth fighting and dying for…here we proved the forces of liberty are stronger than the forces of conquest.”

The president’s abrupt departure comes just one day after the Wall Street Journal published an exposé of behind-the-scenes concerns about Biden’s mental acuity during high-stakes negotiations. Forty-five lawmakers and officials, both Republican and Democrat, told the outlet the president is “not the same” as they once knew him, in the words of former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Even Democrats, including Congressman Gregory Meeks (D-NY), expressed his concern over the president’s grasp of the facts before receiving calls from the White House demanding he change his tone. Meeks later called the Journal back.

“They just, you know, said that I should give you a callback,” said Rep. Meeks, referring to the White House.
