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."

I cannot wait for the books which come out in 2029 about how "everyone knew" Trump was completely brain-meltingly senile from the jump but that it was hidden from the public. As if it's not comically obvious that the guy's noodle is completely baked at this point.

And why that's the Democrats fault.

We made them hide Trump’s sundowning by supporting trans civil rights.

Biden's senility would bother me a lot more if he had used the presidency to rake in billions of in corrupt giveaways to his family, destroy the international commerce system, authorize ethnic cleansing in Gaza, and send people legally in the U.S. to foreign gulags.

But but the Biden Crime Family! I can hear the right saying. Which is just sad.

Trump does a very poor job of hiding it from the public.

Maybe “groceries” seem like an antiquated term to him because he’s never actually gone grocery shopping in his entire pampered life.

Didn’t he claim you needed to show your ID when buying groceries a few years back?

It's not like we haven't been here before, either. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supermarket_scanner_moment

Also indicative of a person who has never actually been grocery shopping.

Can someone ask him or his press secretary what the modern term is? Really trying to understand what he thinks it is. There really isn't a good synonym...

It’s also revealing because it shows how completely out of touch he is with basic things that humans do - like shop for food. He has no concept of what day-to-day living is like. That’s something peasants deal with.

You just know that at some point he had to ask some long suffering aide what these 'groceries' were that everyone was so upset about the price of, and he sort of poorly memorized the answer.

Comestibles!

It had to be someone trying to get him to not say groceries and say something less likely to irritate the Common Man. Like "don't say groceries, say goods." But they knew he wouldn't understand why groceries would hit different.
