00:00Trump mocked after botching longtime pal Sylvester Stallone's name twice during speech.

00:06There was nothing sly about the way President Trump butchered the last name of his longtime

00:10friend Sylvester Stallone as he presented the action star icon with a Kennedy Center

00:15honor, fueling fresh concerns about his cognitive capabilities.

00:19Trump fumbles Stallone's name.

00:21Stallone and other Kennedy Center honorees were feted at a weekend gala and an Oval Office

00:27meet and greet where Trump presented medals of recognition.

00:30Introducing the beloved Rocky star, he called him a friend of mine, a wonderful person,

00:35a really spectacular person, one of the true great movie stars there are.

00:39Before reading the name as Stallone, dropping the T entirely, he did it again as he placed

00:45the medal around Stallone's neck.

00:47Critics go off on Trump.

00:49While Stallone didn't react, critics on social media did.

00:52He honored him so well by mispronouncing his last name, one person blasted on X.

00:58He's such a good friend that he can't even pronounce his name correctly.

01:02This minor gaffe underscores a broader, unsettling pattern of cognitive slips amid grave policy

01:07failures.

01:08The spectacle is painfully trivial, yet revealing.

01:12Sleepy, Don.

01:13The latest entry in that pattern of cognitive slips came last week, when Trump seemed to fall

01:18asleep during his cabinet meeting.

01:19In photos and videos with the heads of 15 executive departments, he slumped with eyes closed and

01:26struggled to stay engaged after a late-night truth social posting spree.

01:30As Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke, he kept his eyes

01:35downcast.

01:36Barely reacted to praise, briefly jolted awake for a side glance, then resumed his downward

01:40stare.

01:41M-R-I opened eyes.

01:44Insisting he was in tip-top shape, Trump acknowledged undergoing an M-R-I during a medical exam at Walter

01:50Reed in early October.

01:52The White House called it a semi-annual physical, though critics noted he'd had a routine physical

01:56six months earlier in April.

01:59Aboard Air Force One CBS News Wage Up, Jang asked which part of the body the M-R-I examined.

02:05I have no idea, it was just an M-R-I, Trump fired back, pointing his finger in her direction.

02:12It wasn't the brain, because I took a cognitive test and aced it.

02:15I got a perfect mark, which you would be incapable of doing.
