People Left Flabbergasted By Trump’s Explanation Of 1 English Word To UAE President

Donald Trump decided to give an English lesson to the president of the United Arab Emirates on Thursday, which gave him a chance to once again bizarrely obsess over one particular word.

During a televised meeting with UAE presidentSheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the president decided the best way forward was to ramble about the meaning of what he called an “old-fashioned term” — groceries.

“Costs are way down, groceries are way,” Trump began. “They have a term, ‘grocery.’ 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.”

Mediaite noted that Trump “never described who the ‘they’ is that has the term groceries because it’s a widely used term for anyone who, you know, shops for groceries.”

Trump then continued to ramble in a way that will remind “Simpsons” fans of the longwinded stories told by Grandpa Simpson.

“Costs are down, eggs are down,” Trump continued to mutter. “They were, first week they were hitting me with ‘Eggs were up 200%’ and now they’re down to a number that is amazing. We’re down 97, 98% from where they were. And everybody, they said, ‘You won’t have eggs for Easter.’ Well, everybody had eggs for Easter at a very reasonable price.”

Yes, there’s video of Trump, but, sadly, the camera doesn’t show Sheikh Mohammed’s reaction to the bizarre tangent.

Trump’s rant about the word “groceries,” seems to be one of his latest obsessions.

In fact, he’s been ranting about the word since October, when he told a crowd that it’s “a sort of simple word, but it sort of means, like, everything you eat. The stomach is speaking, it always does.”

Trump continued to bring it up in March and April, all while emphasizing that he thinks it’s an uncommon or “old-fashioned” word.

Spoiler alert: It’s not, as this “Daily Show” segment amply demonstrates.

Of course, people had thoughts about Trump’s “groceries” obsession ― that’s what social media is for, silly.
