Donald Trump Declares Himself the World’s Top Expert on One Topic – And the Internet is Having a Field Day
During his trip to Washington, D.C., on Thursday, President Donald Trump made headlines with an unusual claim: he said he’s the world’s leading authority on grass. Tying the remark to his experience as a golf course owner, Trump told the crowd, “I’m pretty good at grass because I have a lot of golf courses all over the place. I know more about grass than any human being, I think, anywhere in the world.”
The statement came as he defended his controversial decision to send federal troops into the capital, a move critics dismissed as political theater rather than a serious crime-fighting effort. But instead of focusing only on law and order, Trump shifted gears and began speaking about his latest idea — reviving the city’s parks by replanting their grass.
Using his typical mix of storytelling and bold comparisons, Trump explained, “Y’know, like everything else, grass has a life. Do you know that? Grass has a life. We have a life, and grass has a life, and the grass here died about 40 years ago.”
He proposed a fresh start: new sod, better maintenance, and upgraded irrigation systems. Trump promised that the difference would be striking. “With new grass and new sprinkler systems, the parks will look like a golf resort,” he said.
Leaning on his brand as a businessman and golf course mogul, Trump compared his vision for D.C. parks to world-class standards. “It’ll look like Augusta,” he said, referencing the Masters Tournament in Georgia. Quickly, he added, “It’ll look like more importantly Trump National Golf Club, that’s even better.”
The bizarre comments exploded across social media. Critics and amused viewers circulated clips of Trump talking about the “life of grass.” One user mocked the moment by writing, “Tonight’s headline: the president spent almost a minute rambling about grass and claiming he knows more about it than any human being. Now we go live to our political correspondent to discuss his mental health.”
Others piled on with sarcasm. “Grass has a life. We have a life. Grass has a life. The grass here died 40 years ago. He’s sounding almost philosophical lately,” one person wrote. Another questioned his credibility more bluntly: “Can’t walk a straight line, but knows more than anyone about grass?”
Though the remarks were widely ridiculed, they fit perfectly into Trump’s pattern of making bold, unexpected statements that grab attention. For his supporters, he was once again showing confidence and flair; for his critics, it was another bizarre example of a president who often strays into unpredictable territory. Either way, Trump seemed unfazed by the online backlash and is likely to continue pushing his ideas exactly the way he sees fit — whether it’s about law enforcement or the secret life of grass.
