Trump Claims World Would ‘D*e’ Without the U.S.
Donald Trump stunned the internet on Tuesday, suggesting, “Without the United States, everything in the world would d*e.” The former president made the remark during a press conference in the Oval Office announcing that the US Space Command will relocate from Colorado to Alabama.
Addressing Rumors About His Health
Ahead of the conference, social media buzzed with unfounded rumors about Trump’s health, with some claiming he had even died.
A reporter asked, “How did you find out over the weekend that you were dead? Did you see that?” Trump replied:
“No. Really, I didn’t see that… Last week, I did numerous news conferences—they went very well. I didn’t do any for two days, and they said, ‘there must be something wrong with him.’”
He added a comparison with President Biden:
“Biden wouldn’t do them for months, you wouldn’t see him, but nobody ever said anything was wrong with him. We know he wasn’t in the greatest shape.”
A body language expert noted Trump seemed uneasy answering the question.
Trump Boasts About U.S. Power
The press conference included several of Trump’s signature talking points. He claimed the U.S. is indispensable:
“Without the United States, the whole world would die. It’s so powerful, it’s so big. I made it really big in the first four years.”
He criticized the Biden administration, saying the country began to “degenerate” under their leadership. Now, according to Trump, he has “built it up to a level I never thought we’d be at this quick.”
Trump also touted the economy:
“We’re the hottest, we’re the best, we’re the best financially. The money coming in is so big because of tariffs. I settled seven wars, and numerous of those wars were because of trade.”
