Trump's ridiculous remarks: 37 of the president's most absurd statements

Donald Trump's presidency has been marked by his unfiltered opinions, which often spark laughter and ridicule. From his infamous 'covfefe' tweet to claiming Spain is a 'BRICS' nation, the president has made a plethora of bizarre statements.

Blundering facts

Trump's latest gaffe came when he said the Biden administration spent $8 million to make mice transgender. However, experts point out he's likely confusing it with 'transgenic mice', a scientific process that adds human cells to mice for disease research.

The president's incorrect claim about mice was just the latest in a long line of absurd statements. He once said Spain was a 'BRICS' country, despite the bloc consisting of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa – with no EU member states.

In the aftermath of a tragic plane crash in Washington D.C., Trump took the opportunity to blame the Biden administration's diversity and inclusion initiatives for the accident.

'I changed the Obama standards from very mediocre at best to extraordinary, you remember that only the highest aptitude they have to be the highest intellect and psychologically superior people were allowed to qualify for air traffic controllers,' he said. 'Then when I left office and Biden took over, he changed them back to lower than ever before. I put safety first.'

However, the FAA's 'diversity and inclusion hiring plan' actually emphasizes the importance of a diverse workforce for ensuring safe and efficient travel, a goal Trump appears to be at odds with.

Other notable Trump blunders include his claim that he won't deport Prince Harry because 'he's got enough problems with Meghan,' and his pledge to introduce mass deportations if he became president again.

Despite the absurdity of these statements, Trump remains unafraid to speak his mind, even if it means facing ridicule and criticism from the public and the media.
