At a White House event, former President Donald Trump unexpectedly started talking about the word “groceries” while he was supposed to be discussing his new tariffs. Instead of sticking to the main topic, he went off on a tangent, saying that “groceries” is an old-fashioned but beautiful word. He described it as meaning “a bag with different things in it.” His comment caught many people off guard and sparked confusion online.
This isn’t the first time Trump has brought up the word in public. He mentioned it several times recently, calling it an old-fashioned term, even though most people still use it every day. He claimed it’s a simple word that describes everything you eat. During one of his campaign speeches, he even said, “The stomach is speaking, it always does,” which added to the strange way he was talking about it.
Many people on social media didn’t understand why Trump kept focusing on such a normal, everyday word. Some joked that he clearly hasn’t done his own grocery shopping in years, which is probably why he thinks it sounds unusual. Others pointed out that groceries are a serious part of many families’ budgets, and with prices going up, they didn’t find it amusing.
A few critics were sarcastic, saying things like, “I forgot to order my bag with different things in it,” mocking the way he described groceries. One person even said that Trump’s strange description sounded like what was going on inside his own head just a mix of random thoughts.
There was also a real concern among some people that Trump seemed disconnected from the everyday lives of regular Americans. Most people shop for groceries every week, so calling it an old-fashioned word made him seem out of touch. Some even wondered what “modern” word he thought people used instead. To many, this wasn’t just a weird moment it was a sign that Trump doesn’t really understand the struggles that normal people face with things like rising food prices.
