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
"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.

"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."
"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."
"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.

"I don't know much about it other than I launched it, other than it was very successful." - about the $TRUMP meme coin
"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 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.

"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."
