Moment 33 – Losing Voice from “Shouting at Stupid People”
In November 2025, Trump appeared hoarse during an Oval Office press conference. When asked about his voice, he explained: “I was shouting at people because they were stupid about something having to do with trade and a country, and I straightened it out. But I blew my stack at these people.” He insisted he felt “great,” blaming the roughness on yelling at “stupid” negotiators rather than health issues.
The excuse drew laughs and concern, with reporters pressing for details on which country inspired the tirade. It fit Trump’s pattern of deflecting personal matters onto others, often with colorful language. Media outlets and late-night shows mocked the “stupid people” line, turning it into viral clips. While supporters appreciated the “fighter” image, critics saw it as unpresidential. The incident added to the long list of quirky health-related explanations from his tenure.
