Controversy-filled moments from his last term as US president began resurfacing online as Trump returned to the White House.
Viral moments of Donald Trump’s last presidency resurfaced as many took to social media, predicting similar antics from the infamous leader who returned to the Oval Office with more criminal convictions than any other president in US history.
Newly elected and ready to represent the US on the world stage, Donald Trump opted for a less-than-subtle way of moving around. The Republican was seen slapping the arm of Montenegro Prime Minister Dusko Markovic and pulling him back to the front.
The footage, which went viral on social media and was considered a global embarrassment, also captured Trump confidently adjusting his suit after the push. Stunned by his move, NATO leaders were seen forcing weak smiles as a cover-up.
During the height of the COVID pandemic in 2020, upon being told by an expert that COVID-19 could not survive for long in sunlight, Trump suggested that the medical community find a way to inject light into the body to kill the virus.
“So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it’s ultraviolet or just a very powerful light. Supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or some other way,” he was heard saying.
The worst came when he took these outlandish suggestions to the next level: injecting bleach or isopropyl alcohol into the veins could kill the virus. “I see the disinfectant that knocks it out in one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning? As you see, it gets in the lungs,” he said.
