US President Donald Trump held what was supposed to be an endorsement speech for Henry McMaster, the Republican candidate for South Carolina governor, on June 25, but he wound up touching on a wide array of issues across his political agenda, from migration policy to relations with Canada and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

The erratic structure of his speech, which strayed far from the key topic of McMaster's candidacy, drew the attention of many Twitter users, who expressed a variety of feelings ranging from outrage to concerns regarding the US president's mental health.
😂He is such an idiot. This is hilarious!

Trump is completely crazy! And his supporters still show adoration and rapt attention to him. Don’t they see he’s NUTS? Where is the country I was raised in?

I love the way Canadians are reacting to last night’s speech Trump gave in South Carolina, you know that one where the President acts like a 5 year old kid after someone ignores him. Because that’s what Canada is doing. Ignoring the furious little kid. pic.twitter.com/mqe1cM2lJb

Many users noted that Trump actually forgot the purpose of his speech and instead of promoting McMaster just went on with an "incoherent rant."
Hey, bubba @realDonaldTrump—I heard your campaign speech in South Carolina last night. Question: *who* were you campaigning for? I never once heard you mention the guy or gal’s name. All I heard was old smack—waah waah.

Oh, and you still aren’t President. And you never will be.

"Trump's South Carolina" — forgot the person he was endorsing five seconds into his incoherent rant.

Hearing Trump describe his vision of space policy right now in South Carolina is not to be missed. "Rich guys love rockets. They'll spend their money, and we'll take the credit. But to do so we need more Republicans in Washington."

Some Twitterians even suggested that listening to the president's speech was possibly harmful for one's mental health.

It was a great speech and rally. Although the loony left has no idea how important you are to both the country and the world, this Carolina girl is behind you all the way!
