Top 10 Stupidest Things President Trump has Said During His Second Term

Now, we normally wouldn't feel okay about making fun of the ramblings of a confused old man. And we certainly wouldn't take lightly the fact that such a person holds the most powerful position on the planet, with access to the nuclear codes.

But since he insists his cognitive health is among the best in the world, and since he has personally dictated notes from a physician to prove it, we can feel perfectly fine taking jabs at someone whose incoherent statements often sound like those of a prizefighter on the losing side of a standing eight count.

It's not a disability. He's just an idiot.

Of course, that doesn't make us feel any better about the codes.

The Top Ten

"When you ran out the healthy arms, you ran out of really healthy, they had great arms, but they ran out, it’s called sports, it’s called baseball in particular, and pitchers I guess you could say in really particular."
"An old fashioned term that we use - groceries. I used it on the campaign. It's such an old fashioned term, but a beautiful term. Groceries. It says a bag with different things in it."

Yes, definitely a man of the people.
"We're letting people build their own power plants. A lot of them being built with the AI and beyond the AI. Chips. We're letting them build their own power. Never been done before."

Imagine how this could go wrong, especially with access to nuclear weapons.
"I don't know much about it other than I launched it, other than it was very successful." - about the $TRUMP meme coin
"I have a plan to visit, not the site. Because you tell me, what’s the site? The water? You want me to go swimming?"

Is this Trump's version of a joke? Making fun of a disaster that killed 67 people, like when he joked about Corey Comperatore's death (the man who was killed as part of the failed assassination attempt in Pennsylvania)? Hard to say, given that Trump has the sense of humor of an 11-year-old school bully.
Or is this him being unnecessarily combative when asked a reasonable question by a reporter? The lashing out option is also a real possibility, since he was probably disappointed that DEI has nothing to do with the accident, which destroyed his narrative.
"They tried to bring back tariffs to save our country, but it was gone. It was gone. It was too late. Nothing could have been done - took years and years to get out of that depression."

Here's Trump claiming tariffs would have saved the U.S. from the Great Depression, when economists who actually graduated from Ivy League schools based on their own merits (you know, the ones who accurately predicted Trump's first tax breaks would balloon the deficit) agree that tariffs and a global trade war, like the one Trump is hell-bent on starting, were one of the main causes of the Depression.
"Canada only works as a state. We don’t need anything they have. As a state, it would be one of the great states anywhere. This would be the most incredible country, visually. If you look at a map, they drew an artificial line right through it..."

And then he proceeds to complain about a "$200 billion" trade deficit with Canada. Maybe the U.S. doesn't "need" hundreds of billions worth of stuff from Canada, but the market has decided that's the best way to get it. You know, capitalism.
But Trump would rather force Americans to pay more to spite Canada for whatever personal grievance he has. Maybe because Justin Trudeau made fun of him. Maybe because he finally had someone read "the fairest, most balanced, and beneficial trade agreement we have ever signed into law" NAFTA 2.0 agreement to him.
"[Mexico and Canada] made these great deals with the United States, took advantage of the United States on manufacturing... I look at some of these agreements, I'd read them at night, and I'd say, 'Who would ever sign a thing like this?'"

You, that's who. Clumsily, with world leaders and others standing around you literally trying to keep a straight face as you struggle to figure out how to sign them.
"We need Greenland for national security and even international security. I think we're going to get it. One way or the other, we're going to get it."

This absolutely reeks of Baby Trump trying to impress Daddy Putin. "See, I can take over other countries too."
Trying to rig elections, trying to imprison dissidents, enriching himself through the office... it checks out.

Conquering another country is just stupid.
“How do you get to be president and you’re stupid?”

The Newcomers

?
"Smart people don't like me, you know? And they don't like what we talk about."
?
"That was Photoshopped? Terry, you can't do that. He had 'MS-13' tattooed. Terry... Terry. Do you want me to show you the picture?"

The Contenders

"The egg prices are down 87 percent, but nobody talks about that. You can have all the eggs you want, we have too many eggs, in fact, if anything the prices are getting too low."

Trump said this halfway through April. In March (the most recent statistics available at the time of this comment), the average price of eggs was a record high $6.23 per dozen. So much for lowering grocery prices "on day one," like he repeatedly claimed he'd do while on the campaign trail.
And maybe prices are slightly lower in April, but there is no way they are 87% lower. That would be $0.81 a dozen.
It's yet another example of Trump saying whatever lie he wants people to believe and knowing that enough MAGA idiots will go along with it in defiance of all evidence and reason.
By the way, the day before, Trump said, "Now eggs are all over the place, and the price went down 92%." Further evidence of making things up on the spot.
"There was no reason for Putin to be shooting missiles into civilian areas, cities and towns, over the last few days. It makes me think that maybe he doesn't want to stop the war..."

Let's go ahead and file that in the no s--t folder. Of course Putin doesn't want to stop the war, or he would. Russia is the aggressor. They stop attacking and the war is over.
"I don’t think a beautiful baby girl that’s 11 years old needs to have 30 dolls. I think they can have three dolls or four dolls. They don’t need to have 250 pencils. They can have five."

For context, this is Trump's response to his tariffs raising prices for American consumers. And that's why he's a financial genius. I never thought to offset the thousands of extra dollars per year that I'm going to be charged for essential purchases by reigning in my doll and pencil collecting habits.
Thank you, Trump, the paragon of frugality and restraint, for showing me the way.
"Santa is a very good person. We want to make sure he's not infiltrated, that we're not infiltrating into our country a bad Santa."
"I believe [Putin] wants peace. I mean, I know him very well. Yeah, I think he wants peace. I think he would tell me if he didn't. ... I trust him on this subject."
"And such good English. Such beautiful. Where did you learn to speak so beautifully? Where were you educated? Where?"
"I'm saying 'Good night, First Lady, my darling,' because it reminds me that I'm the president, that's why. I said 'First Lady, it's terrible nobody wants to join our military force.'"
"What Vladimir Putin doesn't realize is that if it weren't for me, lots of really bad things would have already happened to Russia, and I mean REALLY BAD."
"People that were in jail for horrible, you know, they release jails from all over the world and release them. Not just South America. The Congo in Africa. Many many people come from the Congo. I don't know what that is, but they came from the Congo."
"You know, we’ve cut drug prices by 1,200, 1,300, 1,400, 1,500%. I don’t mean 50%, I mean 14-1,500%."
"THE BIDEN FBI PLACED 274 AGENTS INTO THE CROWD ON JANUARY 6."
"Trump in response to reporter question about China: I just like to watch her talk. Good job. Good job. Thank you, darling."
"I am a very aesthetic person. I don't like some of the ships you're doing aesthetically. They say, 'Oh, it's stealth.' That's not stealth. An ugly ship is not necessary in order to say you're stealth."
"What's illegal are the drugs that were on the boat, and the drugs that are being sent into our country and the fact that 300 million people died last year from drugs."
"When you go into a voting booth, and you do it the right way, and you go in - they even asked me, they asked me for my license plate."
