Donald Trump comes out with ‘word salad’ after he’s confronted over something he originally ‘took credit for’
It's certainly been an eventful first 100 days back in office for President Donald Trump.
Since his re-election back in November, the world has been on a knife edge, with the 78-year-old seemingly only making things worse when it comes to stopping Russia from launching World War Three.
His tariffs have also gone down a storm with the rest of the world, with China in particular fighting back after Trump's attempt at 'liberating' the United States.
Not to mention his brutal treatment of so-called illegal aliens, many of whom have been deported to one of the world's worst prisons over suspicions about gang activity.

One thing the republican did have in his favour was the economy, which improved slightly after he took over from Joe Biden, but has now dipped in the wake of his trusty tariff announcement, while the price of eggs is still astronomically high.
Trump recently dismissed the fears of price increases and shortages of items such as toys, with trade between China and the US understandably falling off a cliff as their trade war continues.
He said: "This is Biden. Maybe the children will have to have two dolls instead of 30 dolls, you know? And maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more than they would normally."
However, journalist Andrew Feinberg recently called out the President for his actions, as he had previously taken the credit when the economy improved, only to blame Biden after it's dip.
He said: "You took credit for the stock market when it was doing well. Now it’s not doing so well and you blame Biden. But you’re the President; can you explain that?"
Trump replied with a string of answers, suggesting that he inherited a mess before switching the topic to 'mental institutions and gang members' that they've had to deal with since coming back into power.
A Twitter user who shared the video quickly labelled it as 'word salad', which, for those of you who don't know, is 'a confused or unintelligible mixture of seemingly random words and phrases'.
We Brits will be all too aware of the sort of 'word salad' that politicians can come up with when asked a question they don't like but Trump really takes the biscuit here.
And this may just be the beginning, with it still unclear how the tariffs will impact the US economy and relationships with other countries in the long term.
