Donald Trump left critics scratching their heads Monday with his rambling tribute to the Los Angeles Dodgers during the team’s visit to the White House to celebrate its 2024 World Series win.
The president’s attempt to praise the Dodgers’ tenacity amid injuries to key players quickly turned into a “WTF” moment for commenters online.
“All year, the Dodgers faced down adversity,” Trump said. “You entered the playoffs battered and bruised, but not broken.”
Then it took a weird turn:
“When you ran out the healthy arms — you ran out of really healthy — they had great arms, but they ran out. It’s called sports. It’s called baseball in particular. And pitchers, I guess you could say, and really particular.”
Watch here:

A real stable genius in action.

Where is that energy?! https://t.co/ftG0qhfyBW
Trump's rambling about "healthy arms" at the Dodgers' White House visit is just another incoherent mess. Can't he ever make sense? What an embarrassment.

Trump’s got this look on his face when he’s reading pretty much anything now — speeches, executive orders — that’s like, “oh interesting I wonder where this is going” https://t.co/qIi2eyWaK0
