Donald Trump leaves people baffled after seemingly taking credit for historical event and claiming he ‘invented’ common word
Donald Trump has always been a skilled master of dramatics and he likes to beautify things but his more recent comments have simply struck his audience as dumbfounded — and bewildered.
The former president in a period of 24 hours has made two powerfully outrageous claims, even by his own standards which have shot wide-spread unbelief and laughter.
The first news was a response to the historic announcement that Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost had been elected Pope Leo XIV and therefore became the first American to become Such.
Trump went to Truth Social to congratulate, but, of course, not without hinting that he did kind of influence the decision somehow. “How great an honor to realize that he’s the first American Pope!”
Trump wrote before adding, “What excitement, and what a Great Honor for our Country”. Pope Leo XIV waits to be seen by me and I am excited to meet him.
It is going to be a very significant moment!” The congratulatory tone would have raised minimal outrage, but that was not all that Trump did. In his second follow-up post, he homed in on journalist Martha Raddatz – misnaming her “Raditz” – for the reason that she implied that Trump had nothing to do with the Vatican’s decision.
The former president took her remarks to be an act of political hostility and not a plain reporting of facts. “It just came out of nowhere but it was on her Trump Deranged Mind,” he wrote. He then switched to the issue of his showing with Catholic voters: “Remember, I did WIN the Catholic Vote, by a lot!”
– with his usual hyperbole: “It’s time for change. MAGA!!!” The idea that the vitriolic victory of Trump might have had an impact on the internal affairs of the Vatican, had it crept into thoughts of reasonably well-informed people somewhere in this earth, it would have been seen as farcical in global mediasphere.
The process of selection of a Pope is saturated with centuries of traditions and not exposed to external, political pressure, especially from the non-Catholic, and secular political power.
As if that were not odd enough, Trump went on to make yet another mind-boggling claim at a White House press conference that had to do with drug pricing reforms. During the discussion of a new executive order that should help to correct pharmaceutical costs, Trump spoke of the goal as “equalizing” the price between the U.S. and other countries.
“So basically what we are doing is equalizing”, Trump said. “It’s a new word that I made up – I think probably the best of the words. We’re gonna equalize. We are all going to pay the same”.
The claim of inventing the word “equalize”, a word that has been part of the English language at least since 1599, and which is a staple in all fields from mathematics to economics to social justice debate was met with instant rebuke and ridicule. So many people went on social media to wonder how it is that a person could make a claim for ownership of such a common term.
One of the users joked, “There was a TV show in the 80s called “The equalizer”. Did he coin the word in 1983 and he is just reminiscing? Another looked at it and said, “If he came up with it how does everybody already know what it means lol” Third one sarcastically commented “Horses**t, a word I just came up with, never used by anyone ever!”
Although, perhaps, Trump’s supporters can see such comments as a typical case of his freewheeling bombast or rhetorical overstatement, his critics are likely to find them signs of either a disconnect from reality, or a conscious willingness to manipulate by relentless repetition.
Either of the two episodes makes clear once again the former president’s flawless capacity to command headlines, control discourse and provoke controversy with utterances that appear to buck both recorded history and common sense.
Some of Trump’s recent remarks, such as taking partial credit for a papal election or coining centuries-old vocabulary on retrospective basis have caused, and are still causing, broad amusement, puzzlement, and worries, not infrequently simultaneously.

Baba Vanga’s Prediction About Donald Trump Leaves Many Stunned
Baba Vanga made chillingly accurate prediction about Donald Trump’s life
A prophet named Baba Vanaga made a prediction that turned out to be disturbingly true on a major occasion in Donald Trump’s election campaign.
Her birth year was 1911, and she is a well-known Bulgarian psychic who has spent the majority of her life making prophecies about specific events that have occurred throughout the world that have been shockingly accurate.
When Baba Vanga was 12 years old, she was trapped in a storm that caused her to go blind. Although some of her prophecies may not always come true, she has been so accurate that she has been able to convince many that she possesses mystic powers.
The events that she predicted with the greatest accuracy were things like the Second World War and the Chernobyl disaster.
She may have been able to foresee a significant historical event that took place during the election campaign of 2024, despite the fact that she passed away in 1996, which was a significant amount of time before Donald Trump ran for president.
On July 13, 2024, a video was made public that showed President Trump being shot at a rally in Pennsylvania, United States, in what appears to be an attempt on his life.
Thomas Matthew Crooks was seen by law enforcement personnel at Butler Farm Show armed with a rifle. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) later confirmed that a SWAT officer had recognized him as a “suspicious person” prior to taking a photograph of him.
Witnesses reportedly saw him climbing closer to the stage, which is where he set up his pistol, as reported by the Associated Press (AP).
Trump was forced to duck from the stage as Secret Service personnel clustered around him as additional rounds were fired, according to ABC News. The bullet, which was fired from the roof of the venue, grazed Trump’s right ear, causing him to duck.
Crooks himself and a spectator were the two people that passed away, and two more were left in critical condition on the scene.
Before Trump subsequently resorted to social media to reveal that he had been shot on the “upper right part of my right ear,” a representative for Trump issued a statement stating that the businessman was
“fine and being checked out at a local medical facility.” The statement was released after Trump had taken to social media.
When asked about the attempted assassination, Trump responded by saying, “I was saved by God to make America great again.” This statement was made during his inauguration.
But how could Baba Vanga have foreseen this attempt at assassination even though it had occurred decades before it actually took place?
Even while she did not precisely predict that Trump would be shot, she did predict that he would be afflicted with a strange ailment that would cause him to lose his hearing because of it.
.
Even though, to the best of our knowledge, the damage did not result in hearing loss, this does not diminish the remarkable accuracy of the forecast.
However, what did she have planned for the year 2025?
Before she passed away, the mystic said that the year 2025 would be the year that human telepathy would become a reality. This prediction is as intriguing as it is disturbing.
Additionally, she forecasted that we will be able to cultivate human organs in laboratories, which would result in an increase in the average lifespan.
One other prediction suggested that extraterrestrial beings would make contact with humans during a major athletic event. This would be an odd timing, but we will have to wait and see.
