People Left Flabbergasted By Trump's Explanation Of 1 English Word To UAE President

Donald Trump decided to give an English lesson to the president of the United Arab Emirates on Thursday, which gave him a chance to once again bizarrely obsess over one particular word.During a televised meeting with UAE presidentSheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the president decided the best way forward was to ramble about the meaning of what he called an “old-fashioned term” — groceries.“Costs are way down, groceries are way,” Trump began. “They have a term, ‘grocery.’ It’s an old term, but it means basically what you’re buying: food. It’s a pretty accurate term, but it’s an old-fashioned sound, but groceries are down.”Mediaite noted that Trump “never described who the ‘they’ is that has the term groceries because it’s a widely used term for anyone who, you know, shops for groceries.”Trump then continued to ramble in a way that will remind “Simpsons” fans of the longwinded stories told by Grandpa Simpson.“Costs are down, eggs are down,” Trump continued to mutter. “They were, first week they were hitting me with ‘Eggs were up 200%’ and now they’re down to a number that is amazing. We’re down 97, 98% from where they were. And everybody, they said, ‘You won’t have eggs for Easter.’ Well, everybody had eggs for Easter at a very reasonable price.”Yes, there’s video of Trump, but, sadly, the camera doesn’t show Sheikh Mohammed’s reaction to the bizarre tangent.Trump to UAE president: "We have a term 'groceries.' It's an old term but it means basically what you're buying, food, it's a pretty accurate term but it's an old fashioned sound but groceries are down." pic.twitter.com/TGe83GQyot— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) May 15, 2025Trump’s rant about the word “groceries,” seems to be one of his latest obsessions.In fact, he’s been ranting about the word since October, when he told a crowd that it’s “a sort of simple word, but it sort of means, like, everything you eat. The stomach is speaking, it always does.”Trump continued to bring it up in March and April, all while emphasizing that he thinks it’s an uncommon or “old-fashioned” word.Spoiler alert: It’s not, as this “Daily Show” segment amply demonstrates.Of course, people had thoughts about Trump’s “groceries” obsession ― that’s what social media is for, silly.Again, with the groceries?— N. Schmid ⚡️☀️💨💧🔋 (@N_Schmid) May 15, 2025Dada explaining ‘groceries’ like he just discovered nouns.“We have a term. It’s called groceries. It means food. Some people don’t know that. But I know that.”Meanwhile the UAE president is blinking in fluent oil diplomacy.— Ultramõrd Sillu (@suunasolkija) May 15, 2025He persists in repeating the same foolish things again and again. No one in his team has the guts to explain to him that this is idiotic.If you make a fool the most powerful person, basically, you give up on the prospect of making him smarter.— ϽΓΣⱤẛ∁ (@CholericCleric) May 15, 2025This just doesn’t make any sense. I went and got groceries today. I called them groceries.— Timothy Bellman (@Timothy_Bellman) May 15, 2025Can SOMEONE make Trump see that he sounds senile when he calls 'groceries' an old-fashioned word?!"Dada explaining ‘groceries’ like he just discovered nouns. 'We have a term. It’s called groceries. It means food.' Meanwhile the UAE president is blinking in fluent oil diplomacy" https://t.co/xpaIheih6Y— Robbie Wallin (@WallinRobbie) May 15, 2025I have to admit that I hold foreign leaders in high regard for their ability to refrain from rolling on the floor in laughter when he speaks.— Russ Hjelm (@russ_hjelm) May 15, 2025There’s no word we use more. Utterly out of touch dumbass. pic.twitter.com/wcWvVklUej— John Handem Piette (@JohnHPiette) May 15, 2025I laughed the first time he said that. Repeating that makes me think 1) His staff hates him and hasn't told him, 2) He forgot his staff told him to stop staying that. 3) He thinks it's a "smart" thing to say despite being told it makes him look out of touch.— Ginger Edwards 🐛 (@ginged78) May 15, 2025
