Trump Roasted After Declaring Himself A 'Genius' For Realizing 'Us' And 'U.S.' Have Same Letters

The former President wondered during a speech to MAGA fans if anyone has 'ever thought of that before' after making the realization.

Former Republican President Donald Trump patted himself on the back after realizing in front of his MAGA crowd that the words "us" and the "U.S." had the same letters.

Trump, who is the current front-runner for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination while simultaneously facing charges for federal crimes, spoke at a rally on Monday in Derry, New Hampshire when he had his "a-ha" moment about the abbreviation for the United States.


After officially filing as a candidate for New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation primary, he mentioned French President Emmanuel Macron during a campaign speech.

He told the adoring crowd:

"You know, he's for France. I'm for us. I'm for us."
"You know how you spell 'us' right? You spell it U-S!"

"I just picked that up," he said and asked if he wasn't alone in that endeavor.

"Has anyone ever thought of that be—I just picked that up."

And the crowd went wild.

He continued:

"I'm reading and said us. You know, when you think about it, us, equals U.S."
"If we think of something genius, they will never say it."

The internet seized on a prime opportunity to ruthlessly mock him.






















But it was hardly the most bizarre part of the speech.

In one of his ramblings, he tried to articulate something about former U.S. Democratic President Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the words out of his mouth were:

"FDR was a great speaker. He sat. He sat because of the uhhh situat— but he was elegant, beautiful, eloquent, elegant and eloquent..."




Prior to his speech on Monday, Trump officially filed as a candidate for New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation primary.

This wasn't the first time he proclaimed himself as a very smart person.

In 2018, he wrote on X (formerly Twitter):

Actually, throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart."
"I went from VERY successful businessman, to top T.V. Star....."

Unfortunately, it doesn't take much convincing for his followers to buy into his touting himself as a "genius."

As one devoted Trump follower once said:

" Donald Trump is a genius."
"That's what the J stands for."

Oh boy.

GOP Senator Faces MAGA Backlash Over Plan To Sell Millions Of Acres Of Public Land

Utah Republican Senator Mike Lee is facing harsh criticism—including from Team MAGA—over his proposal to sell off millions of acres of public land in the American West owned by the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service to supposedly create more affordable housing.

Lee claimed in his proposal that there is an "extensive process for interested parties like States and local governments to nominate land for disposal to meet housing and community needs," noting that it specifically exempts national parks, monuments, and federally designated wilderness areas from potential land sales.

Trump Ripped For Complaining That Americans Get 'Too Many' Federal Holidays Off Work

While it was ultimately former President Joe Biden who established Juneteenth as a federal holiday, President Donald Trump—who once campaigned on that promise—took to Truth Social on Juneteenth to whine about the number of "non-working holidays" Americans get, claiming that it costs businesses "billions of dollars."

Juneteenth is derived from June 19, 1865, when Union troops led by General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and declared that all enslaved African Americans in the state were free.

TikToker @cassdamm, who previously went viral for sharing the unhinged, five-page letter her 15-year-old son's principal sent, complaining about him "wandering the halls" and "being truant" for buying a drink on his way back to class, is openly celebrating the death of her father, but it's not for the reason you'd think.
