Trump Leaves Everyone Confused With Hilariously Bizarre Word Salad Tribute To The Dodgers

President Trump welcomed the 2024 World Series-winning Los Angeles Dodgers to the White House on Monday—but his speech honoring them went completely off the rails.

President Donald Trump was widely mocked after he welcomed the 2024 World Series-winning Los Angeles Dodgers to the White House on Monday with a bizarre, tangential, and rambling speech.

The team arrived at the White House on Monday morning, where Trump, in his remarks, praised two-way star Shohei Ohtani and infielder Mookie Betts. The Dodgers had defeated the New York Yankees in five games to clinch their second World Series title in five seasons.


Trump noted the team’s resilience, highlighting how the Dodgers pushed through a season and postseason marked by key injuries—yet still managed to come out on top:

“The resilient group used 40 different pitchers — the most ever by an eventual World Series championship team. They had to go and get them. I don’t know how they got him, and where they got them, but they got them because they won.”

But then things got weird:

“All year, the Dodgers faced down adversity. You entered the playoffs battered and bruised, but not broken. When you ran out the healthy arms — you ran out of really healthy — they had great arms, but they ran out."
"It’s called sports. It’s called baseball in particular; and pitchers, I guess you could say, and really particular.”

You can hear what Trump said in the video below.

What in the world was Trump even talking about? No one knew—and they criticized him for his rambling word salad.


Trump's weird tangents shouldn't be much of a surprise considering he's the same man who once referred to his ally, Elon Musk, as "Leon" during a rally, once praised Hannibal Lecter, the fictional serial killer most notably depicted in the 1991 thriller The Silence of the Lambs, and randomly gushed over the late golfer Arnold Palmer's genitalia during an appearance in Pennsylvania.

All in all, this was just another day for the self-identified "stable genius."

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
