Trump’s shocking word invention claim revealed.
Donald Trump is once again igniting headlines, memes, and mass confusion after delivering not one but two eyebrow-raising statements that had social media in a frenzy.
Trump’s history with controversial claims highlighted.
And this isn’t even the first time Trump has hinted at divinity or genius status in the most unexpected ways.
Let’s rewind to another viral moment, when Trump shared a surreal AI-generated image of himself dressed as the Pope.
The image—robes, hat, halo and all—was posted to his official account. Trump claimed he wasn’t involved, but the post lingered.
The timing raised eyebrows: was it satire, a wink, or a pitch for papal power? No one’s sure, and Trump hasn’t clarified.
But this habit of blending fantasy with political branding isn’t new for him.
He once declared, “Nobody respects women more than me,” right before being accused of multiple offenses.
He called himself a “very stable genius” and said he knew more about ISIS than the generals.
In 2020, he floated the idea of delaying the election and told Americans to inject disinfectant.
These aren’t footnotes—they’re part of the brand. Every gaffe is part drama, part strategy, part viral bait.
Pope’s reaction to new Pope exposed.
The former president congratulated Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost on being elected as the first American pope — a historic Vatican moment.
“Congratulations to Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, who was just named Pope,” Trump posted on Truth Social, keeping things polite and patriotic—at first.
He continued: “What excitement, and what a Great Honor for our Country,” giving it the classic Trump flourish.
But the decorum didn’t last long—because soon, he hinted that maybe, just maybe, he had something to do with it.
“So funny to watch old timer Martha Raditz on ABC Fake News… blurt out that, effectively, Pope Leo’s selection had nothing to do with Donald Trump,” he wrote.
Yes, Trump appeared to suggest that his own popularity with Catholic voters might’ve nudged the papal conclave.
“Remember, I did WIN the Catholic Vote, by a lot!” he insisted, offering no data, just classic Trump confidence.
Cardinal Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV, has not commented on Trump’s assertion—and the Vatican hasn’t confirmed any MAGA influence.
Trump wasn’t done there. In the same breath, he threw shade at ABC and Disney CEO Bob Iger, calling for a shakeup of “low rated shows.”
Just another Sunday for the Truth Social warrior.
Trump’s new word confirmed.
But then came that moment—the one that launched a thousand tweets and countless double-takes.
At a press conference later that day, Trump unveiled a new drug pricing policy with a bold, very Trumpian twist.
“We’re gonna equalize,” he declared. “It’s a new word that I came up with, which I think is probably the best word.
Except… it isn’t. Merriam-Webster pegs “equalizing” as first recorded in 1559. Trump wasn’t even born in the 1800s.
Cue the internet’s collective gasp—and then giggles. “Did Trump just claim he invented a word?” one X user posted.
Another joked, “There was a show in the ’80s called The Equalizer. Is he taking credit for that too?”
In classic Trump fashion, he doubled down, touting “equalizing” as the future of economic fairness.
But language historians—and the rest of us—were left scratching our heads at the apparent rewrite of etymology.
Trump continues to stir controversy.
When Trump says “equalizing” is his invention, it’s not just a blunder—it’s part of a larger performance.
And when he implies that the Vatican might’ve been swayed by his Catholic voter numbers? That’s pure Trump showmanship.
Still, even by his standards, this week’s combination of papal pride and linguistic invention had fans and critics alike floored.
Because only Donald Trump could congratulate the Pope, troll the media, take credit for a 500-year-old word, and almost run for sainthood—all in 48 hours.
