repeatedly said “oranges” in place of “origins”?
The gaffe came up while Trump was calling for an investigation into the beginning of the Special Council investigation and Mueller report.
The same day, Trump claimed that windmills cause cancer.
said windmills cause cancer?
In an April 3, 2019 speech to the National Republican Congressional Committee, Trump said, “If you have a windmill anywhere near your house, congratulations, your house just went down 75 percent in value. And they say the noise causes cancer.” He didn’t elaborate on who “they” are or offer evidence.
His speech came the same day he repeatedly mispronounced the word “origins.”
Trump repeatedly tried to fight the construction of wind farms, especially near his properties, which in one instance left him as the target of laughter by Scottish parliament. He also referred to climate change as a “Chinese hoax.”

said he had broken more records than Elton John with only a mouth and “the brain attached to the mouth”?
The full statement was,
“I have broken more Elton John records. He seems to have a lot of records. And I, by the way, I don’t have a musical instrument. I don’t have a guitar or an organ. No organ. Elton has an organ. And lots of other people helping. No, we’ve broken a lot of records. We’ve broken virtually every record. Because you know, look, I only need this space.
They need much more room. For basketball, for hockey and all of the sports, they need a lot of room. We don’t need it. We have people in that space. So we break all of these records. Really, we do it without, like, the musical instruments. This is the only musical – the mouth. And hopefully the brain attached to the mouth, right? The brain. More important than the mouth is the brain. The brain is much more important.”
As awkward as Trump’s phrasing was, he has in fact drawn larger audiences than Elton John. Trump has been a longtime fan of the artist, despite Elton John having turned down an offer to perform at Trump’s inauguration.
