Donald Trump has cemented his legacy as a significant figure in American history. His political actions will certainly be talked about for years, but many will also remember the numerous amusing moments and memes from his time in office.
Here’s a look at five of the funniest highlights from Trump’s second term thus far.
5. Reviving Plastic Straws
In the early days of his second term, Trump signed an executive order to put an end to the “forced use” of paper straws. He jokingly pointed out their shortcomings, saying they tend to “explode” in drinks, leaving people frustrated.
“We’re going back to plastic straws,” he stated. “These things don’t work… They break or explode. It’s a ridiculous situation.” He shrugged off concerns about plastic, saying, “I don’t think plastic will have a big impact on sharks because they’re munching through the ocean.”
4. “Everything is a Computer!”
Trump has formed quite the bond with Elon Musk, the entrepreneur behind several well-known companies, such as Tesla. Musk’s electric cars have become symbols of their political camaraderie.
While supporting Musk, Trump showcased a few Teslas at the White House and shared his thoughts with unfiltered enthusiasm. “Wow, it’s beautiful!” he exclaimed while getting in one of the cars. “This is a different panel than I have. It’s all computers!”
3. Trick or Treat
This Halloween, Trump recreated a memorable moment from his past as he and the first lady distributed candy during the annual trick-or-treating event on the White House lawn.
Flashback to 2019: a child dressed as a Minion had left him humorously confused. He decided to place candy on the Minion’s head, resulting in a highly shareable moment. Fast forward to 2025, and Trump was again seen placing a candy bar on the head of a child dressed as a marshmallow, echoing his earlier antics.
2. Hall of Autopen
In an effort to enhance his legacy post-presidency, Trump made improvements to the White House, adding a new ballroom and a landscaped patio in the Rose Garden. He also paid homage to past presidents.
A standout feature is Trump’s Hall, which showcases gold-framed portraits of previous presidents. In a nod to the autopen controversy involving former President Biden, Trump humorously included a framed picture of an autopen in the corridor.
1. The N-word
Trump’s theatrical flair has always captivated audiences, harking back to his reality television days. Regardless of opinions about him, he certainly knows how to keep a crowd engaged.
In a surprisingly funny moment during a speech to military leaders at Quantico, he made a notable quip. “The person who said the word ‘nuclear’ was a really stupid person,” he remarked, while also revealing some unusual military maneuvers. “I moved one or two submarines to the Russian coast… I call it the N-word. There are two N-words, and you can’t use either of them.”
