Former President Donald Trump faced criticism after mistakenly conflating the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) in Alaska with Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan during a town hall event in Michigan. Moderated by former White House press secretary and Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the event saw Trump making various claims about his administration's achievements. Despite the mix-up, Trump emphasized his administration's approval of drilling in ANWR and criticized the Biden administration for halting it. Additionally, Trump pledged to regain control of the Bagram airbase if re-elected and defended his speaking style against accusations of rambling. Trump's gaffe was widely mocked on social media, with critics questioning his mental acuity.
