Donald Trump leaves people baffled after seemingly taking credit for historical event and claiming he ‘invented’ common word
Donald Trump has sparked confusion with two bizarre claims within 24 hours. First, he implied he influenced the election of Pope Leo XIV as the new head of the Catholic Church, despite Pope Francis still being alive. Trump also suggested his popularity among Catholic voters played a role, reacting to an ABC interview that dismissed his involvement. He boasted about winning the Catholic vote and criticized the network’s coverage.
In another odd statement, Trump claimed he invented the word “equalize” while discussing drug price regulations. He insisted it was a “new word” he created, despite its existence since 1599. Social media users mocked the claim, pointing out the term’s long history and its use in pop culture, like the 1980s TV show *The Equalizer*. The remarks left many baffled and amused.
