Mark Meadows, best known as the White House Chief of Staff under former President Donald Trump, was mocked online after he claimed that Trump had shown "unbelievable prowess" while taking questions from the press during his time in office.

Meadows said that Trump "would do what we call chopper talk," likely referring to Trump's tendency to speak in short snippets while taking questions on the White House lawn, usually in front of Marine One, the call sign of any United States Marine Corps aircraft carrying the President of the United States.


Trump "would have rapid fire questions" from members of the press, Meadows added, saying that Trump would do so "for an hour with unbelievable prowess."

You can hear what Meadows said in the video below.

While Trump often did engage with the media, he often lied while doing so, a regular enough occurrence that a The Washington Post analysis found that Trump made 30,573 false or misleading statements during his four year tenure.

Meadows has faced regular criticism for covering for Trump and has in recent months been under heightened scrutiny due to his actions before, during, and after the Capitol riot of January 6, 2021, the day a mob of Trump's supporters attacked the United States Capitol on the false premise the 2020 general election had been stolen.

Earlier this month, the Department of Justice (DOJ) declined to prosecute Meadows on charges of criminal contempt after the House Select Commitee tasked with investigating the insurrection referred him for refusing to comply with subpoenas.

Meadows' seemingly deferential — perhaps even reverential — attitude toward Trump exposed him to significant mockery on social media.



Trump has been often been criticized for his freewheeling speaking style, which contains any number of rambling and disconnected thoughts. In fact, a Calvin University historian who has done a comparative study of Trump and Hillary Clinton’s speaking styles, once said that Trumps "speeches are full of non sequiturs."

Trump's speech pattern has also been a regular subject of discussion among those who question whether he was ever cognitively prepared to hold office. During a January 2018 press briefing, the former White House doctor Ronny Jackson vouched for Trump's health, saying his neurological functions are excellent and assuring the press corps that he would be able to serve his entire term.

Dr. Oz Slammed For Tone Deaf Health Advice For Americans On Medicaid And Medicare

Dr. Mehmet Oz—now the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services—was criticized after he offered Americans unsolicited health advice during a Fox News appearance, saying that Americans shouldn't "eat carrot cake" as millions face cuts to their government-funded health insurance.

The passage of President Donald Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" will cause 17 million people to lose valuable Medicare and Medicaid coverage. Under the bill, individuals earning just above the federal poverty line would be required to start paying out of pocket for certain Medicaid services, such as doctor visits and lab tests.

Adam Schiff Calls Out The Real Reason Trump Is Accusing Him Of 'Fraud'—And Yeah, That Tracks

California Democratic Senator Adam Schiff fired back at President Donald Trump after Trump accused Schiff of "possible mortgage fraud" in a Truth Social post—prompting Schiff to point out that Trump's attack is another attempt to take attention away from Trump's association with the late financier, pedophile, and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump, without citing evidence, said Fannie Mae’s financial crimes division found that Schiff had a “sustained pattern of possible Mortgage Fraud" that involved misstating which home Schiff used as a primary residence, allowing him to secure a cheaper mortgage.
