BREAKING NEWS: Trump Forgets He's the Current President of the United States!!!
President Donald Trump forgot he is still president during a rambling, low-energy address to the World Economic Forum in which he retracted his threat to use force to seize Greenland.
Trump, 79, said in the past tense that he “had” a great relationship with Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom when he “was” president during the Palisades Fire recovery in January 2025.
“We’re going to help the people in California. We want to have no crime,” Trump said. “I know Gavin was here. I used to get along so great with Gavin when I was president.”
He continued, “Gavin’s a good guy, and we’re going to. If he needed it, I would do it in a heartbeat. I’d love to see—we did help them a lot in Los Angeles, a lot with the early, early in my term, when they had some problems, but we would love to do it.”
The president’s gaffe came with Newsom in attendance.
A CNN broadcast of the speech cut to Newsom’s reaction—a grin, then later a full smile as he stood next to aides—as Trump spoke of their supposedly one-time friendly relationship.
Trump made a series of gaffes during the speech, repeatedly referring to Greenland as Iceland—a completely different island in the northern Atlantic Ocean.
“I know we’d be there for them. I don’t know that they’d be there for us with all of the money we expend, with all of the blood, sweat, and tears,” Trump said. “They’re not there for us on Iceland, I can tell you.”
He continued, “Their stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland.”
The final mix-up: “Iceland, they love me,” Trump said, referring to Greenland. “They called me ‘Daddy’ last time. A very smart man said, ‘He’s our daddy. He’s running it.’”
