President Trump has given us some golden quotes during his time in office.- “Turn off the lights! Turn off the lights!”
He said this after a lighting malfunction during a campaign speech in Georgia. A classic, and instantly quotable.
- “They’re eating the dogs, the cats …”
In the 2024 campaign, Trump accused Haitian immigrants in Ohio of eating pets. Not surprising.
- “Obamna.”
I have no clue where he got this pronunciation from, but it does have a certain ring to it.
- “A REAL DISGRACE took place at the United Nations yesterday — Not one, not two, but three very sinister events!”
One of his best on Truth Social. The disgraces he is referring to are the failures of an escalator, teleprompter and microphone at the UN General Assembly. Sinister, indeed.
- “Vladimir, STOP!”
Another Truth Social classic. I’m sure Vladimir Putin stopped everything after this strong statement.
- “My father gave me a small loan of one million dollars.”
This reads the same as Bella Hadid saying she didn’t get her first designer bag until she was 16.
- “I think I am humble. I think I’m much more humble than you would understand.”
I’m convinced.
- “This is a tough hurricane. One of the wettest we’ve ever seen from the standpoint of water.”
Could it get more insightful than this? I’m sure the victims of Hurricane Florence were reassured.
- “I solved wars that were unsolvable. Azerbaijan and Albania, it was going on for many, many years, I had the prime ministers and presidents in my office.”
The war between Azerbaijan and Albania was likely only unsolvable because it never existed at all. The video of Albanian prime minister Edi Rama mocking Trump’s statement in front of French and Azerbaijani presidents Macron and Aliyev was so surreal that I thought it was AI at first.
- “I have concepts of a plan.”
I say this so often, and the cadence at which Trump said it plays on repeat in my head. If this wasn’t said in a nationally broadcast debate about his actual plans for health care policies if elected, it would have been pretty relatable.
