10. Tried to Buy Greenland
Yes, really—Trump wanted to buy Greenland. In 2019, reports surfaced that he had asked advisors multiple times if the United States could purchase Greenland from Denmark. It wasn’t satire. He thought owning Greenland would be a strategic win for America—thanks to its location and untapped natural resources.
The idea was met with global laughter, especially in Denmark. Their Prime Minister called the proposal “absurd.” Trump, in turn, canceled a diplomatic visit and called her “nasty.” It wasn’t just a moment of international embarrassment—it revealed Trump’s mindset as a businessman first, politician second. For him, everything—even sovereign nations—was potentially for sale.
The internet erupted. Memes showed Trump holding a “For Sale” sign in front of a glacier. Late-night hosts had a field day. It reminded the world that when Trump is in charge, even geography can get weird.
9. Suggested Injecting Disinfectants
During an April 2020 coronavirus task force briefing, Trump heard about how disinfectants kill viruses on surfaces. That’s when he stunned the world by wondering aloud whether disinfectant could be injected into the body to kill COVID-19 from the inside.
The suggestion sent shockwaves through the medical community. Experts and health officials immediately warned people not to try it. Poison control centers saw a spike in calls. Trump's defenders said he was misunderstood, or being sarcastic, but the moment had already gone viral—no pun intended.
Even household cleaning companies released urgent statements clarifying that their products were not safe for internal use. It was a terrifying display of how dangerous misinformation from the top can be. And it proved how unfiltered Trump could be, even during a public health crisis.
8. Served Fast Food in the White House
In January 2019, during a government shutdown, Trump hosted the national college football champions, the Clemson Tigers. But with White House kitchen staff furloughed, Trump decided to do it his way: with over 300 hamburgers, fries, and pizza from McDonald’s, Wendy’s, and Domino’s.
He even paid for the food himself and proudly displayed it on silver platters in the State Dining Room. Candelabras stood behind towers of Big Macs. Trump called it “great American food,” and the players seemed to enjoy it.
Some found the gesture amusing. Others said it was another example of how Trump shattered presidential norms. Either way, it was fast food diplomacy—and it made headlines all over the world.
7. Altered a Hurricane Map With a Sharpie
In September 2019, Trump incorrectly tweeted that Hurricane Dorian was likely to hit Alabama. When meteorologists quickly corrected him, Trump doubled down. Instead of admitting the mistake, he showed off a hurricane path forecast map that had been visibly altered with a black Sharpie to include Alabama in the danger zone.
The moment became known as “Sharpiegate.” It triggered a formal investigation into whether political pressure was applied to NOAA scientists. Trump continued defending his original claim for days.
It was a bizarre hill to die on—an obsession with being “right,” even in the face of overwhelming evidence. But for Trump, being right wasn't just about facts. It was about image, dominance, and never backing down, even if it meant drawing hurricanes by hand.
6. Held a Bible Upside Down During Protests
In the wake of George Floyd’s death in 2020, protests erupted across the country. In Washington D.C., peaceful demonstrators outside the White House were suddenly cleared using tear gas and rubber bullets.
Moments later, Trump walked through Lafayette Square and posed in front of St. John’s Church, holding a Bible. Not opening it. Not reading it. Just holding it, awkwardly, and reportedly upside down.
Religious leaders were outraged. The Episcopal Bishop of Washington said Trump used a sacred space and holy book for a photo op. The image became instantly infamous—criticized as tone-deaf and inflammatory during a national moment of grief and protest.
The act wasn’t just controversial. It was symbolic of Trump’s larger-than-life presidency, where optics often took precedence over meaning.
5. Met with North Korea’s Kim Jong-un
For over 60 years, American presidents avoided direct meetings with North Korea’s leader. Not Trump. In a bold, historic move, he met with Kim Jong-un in Singapore, Hanoi, and even stepped into North Korea’s DMZ—a first for a sitting U.S. President.
The meetings were full of smiles, handshakes, and grand statements. Trump even said he and Kim “fell in love” because of the “beautiful letters” Kim sent him. It felt more like reality TV than global diplomacy.
Yet despite the show, nothing concrete was achieved. North Korea continued advancing its weapons programs. Critics said Trump legitimized a dictator without securing real concessions. Still, the moment marked a new era of personal diplomacy—Trump style.
4. Declared Himself a ‘Very Stable Genius’
When the media questioned Trump’s mental fitness in 2018, he didn’t issue a quiet statement. He tweeted a declaration that instantly went down in Twitter history: “I am a very stable genius.”
The phrase became an instant meme. Late-night hosts mocked it. Protest signs were printed. Books were written. It sounded like something a cartoon villain might say—but Trump was dead serious.
The statement reflected Trump’s defensive posture and oversized ego. In his mind, the best way to silence critics wasn’t by staying calm—it was by doubling down in the most grandiose way possible.
3. Claimed Windmills Cause Cancer
At a fundraiser in 2019, Trump railed against wind turbines—again. He claimed they were ugly, noisy, and worst of all, that the sound from windmills causes cancer.
There is no scientific evidence to support this. None. Zero. Yet the President of the United States was making this claim to donors.
Trump had long opposed wind power, especially after wind farms were built near his golf course in Scotland. His hostility toward wind energy bordered on obsession. And the cancer comment wasn’t a slip—it was another example of how Trump casually injected pseudoscience into serious discussions.
2. Encouraged People to Vote Twice
As the 2020 election loomed and mail-in voting surged due to COVID-19, Trump began casting doubt on the integrity of the process. Then, he crossed a line. While speaking to supporters in North Carolina, he suggested they vote by mail—and then try to vote in person too—“to test the system.”
Voting twice is a felony in every state. Election officials had to go into damage control, warning citizens not to follow Trump’s advice. The statement added fuel to the fire of voter suppression concerns and mistrust in the democratic process.
This wasn’t just another Trumpism—it was an actual call to commit voter fraud, broadcasted nationally. The consequences could’ve been devastating to the credibility of the entire election.
1. Refused to Concede and Sparked the Capitol Insurrection
The craziest, most dangerous thing Trump did wasn’t a single statement or policy—it was the fallout from his refusal to accept the results of the 2020 election.
He launched a campaign of disinformation, claiming the election was rigged. He filed dozens of lawsuits—all of which failed. He pressured state officials and even tried to get Vice President Mike Pence to overturn the results.
Then came January 6, 2021. Trump held a rally just before Congress was set to certify the election. He told his supporters to “fight like hell.” They did. What followed was one of the darkest days in American history. A violent mob stormed the U.S. Capitol. Legislators were evacuated. People died.
Trump was impeached for inciting an insurrection—his second impeachment, another historical first.
