In front of military veterans, US President Donald Trump gave a meandering address in which he had trouble pronouncing some phrases.
“In Less Than Two Years, My Admin Has Accomplished More Than Almost Any Admin”
Following President Donald Trump’s statement at the United Nations General Assembly that his administration had done more than any other in American history, world leaders chuckled on Tuesday.

Trump Complains About Foreign Governments Laughing at His Comments on Policies
A US president making inadvertent jokes at an international leaders’ conference is rare, and President Trump has often lamented that other countries make fun of the US for what he sees as its lax trade and other policies.
“They Laugh at Us Because of Our Own Stupidity”
“They laugh at us.” During an interview on “Larry King Live” thirty years ago, he added, “Behind our backs, they laugh at us because of our own stupidity,” according to NPR. Well before he ever started his presidential campaign, he tweeted in 2014, “We need a President who isn’t a laughing stock to the entire World.”
Trump Argues He Made the Country “Much Stronger and Richer Than It Was”

Trump Confuses Hungarian PM for “Great Leader” of Turkey
During a campaign address, Trump made the error of calling Viktor Orbán, the prime minister of Hungary, a “great leader” of Turkey. Speaking on Monday to a group of his supporters in Derry, New Hampshire, Trump began by discussing how the globe is “exploding” and criticizing the foreign policy of President Joe Biden. He then praised Orbán, an authoritarian leader well-known for his strict anti-immigration stances.
Trump Slammed for Calling Militant Group Hezbollah “Very Smart”
Instead of claiming that Orbán is the prime minister of Hungary, Trump referred to him as Turkey’s leader—that is, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. The former president’s endorsement of Orbán is also the most recent instance of his endorsing opponents of Washington or individuals who disagree with the United States. Hezbollah, an Islamist terrorist organization in Lebanon, came under fire recently when Trump called them “very smart” after they conducted a missile strike on Israel. He has previously expressed his admiration for Kim Jong Un, the leader of North Korea, President Xi Jinping of China, and President Vladimir Putin of Russia.
Trump Stumbles and Mumbles: “Probably One of the Strongest Leaders Anywhere in the World. Right? He’s the Leader of Turkey”
According to a supposedly leaked CIA study received by the Wall Street Journal, Orbán listed the United States as one of his top three rivals for his Fidesz Party in April, as tensions between the two countries rise. “The whole world is exploding. You know I was very honored—Victor Orbán, did anyone ever hear of him?” Trump posed the question to his New Hampshire backers. “He’s probably one of the strongest leaders anywhere in the world. Right? He’s the leader of Turkey.”
His Sheepish Correction: “Head of Hungary Who Runs It With Crime and Everything Else”
Trump continues, claiming that Orbán has a “front” with Russia, despite the fact that neither Hungary nor Turkey share a border with it. Later, after retracting his earlier remarks, Trump calls Orbán the “head of Hungary” who “runs it properly, with crime and everything else,” before resuming his criticism of Biden.
Whistleblower Alexander Vindman Pipes In
Alexander Vindman, the former U.S. Army lieutenant colonel and whistleblower whose evidence resulted in Trump’s first impeachment, shared a video of the initial blunder on X, a platform that was once Twitter. Vindman wrote, “The leader of Hungary is Viktor Orban… Turkey is Recep Erdogan.”
“Trump Not Remembering Who Leads Which Country Is Disturbing”: Vindman Insists “For a Mental Acuity Check”
“Both strongmen worked with the Pres Trump. Trump spoke to each a dozen times. That Trump couldn’t remember who leads which country or didn’t care to know is disturbing. Time for a mental acuity check,” Vindman further remarked.
Trump Receives More Flak After Branding Biden “Cognitively Impaired”
As the United States approaches the 2024 election, questions have been raised concerning the ages of both Trump, 77, and Biden, 80, following recent gaffes. In September, Trump made headlines when he called Biden “cognitively impaired,” said the president may take the country into “World War II,” and asserted that wind turbines were to blame for whale deaths that were “in numbers never seen before.”
Biden’s Turn To Confuse One Thing With Another
In the same month, Biden faced backlash for leaving a news conference without shaking the hand of Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and for seemingly confusing the Congressional Black Caucus with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus at a gala dinner. He did not appear to be in the city on September 11, the day after the terrorist attacks of 9/11, but he claimed to have visited Ground Zero in New York on that day.
“Come Back, Mr President”: Orbán Urges Trump to Make America Great Again

Come back, Mr President. Make America great again and bring us peace,” Orbán remarked.
