Former President Donald Trump has once again sparked controversy with a recent statement that has left many scratching their heads.
During a speech at a rally in Florida, Trump claimed to have coined the word “equalize,” a term that has been in use for centuries. The comment came as he discussed his plan to reduce drug prices, saying,
“We’re going to equalize the cost of medicine. That’s a new word I came up with — equalize. It’s a great word.”
Linguists quickly pointed out that “equalize” has been a part of the English language since the 15th century and is well-documented in dictionaries.
Trump’s statement drew immediate reactions on social media, with many users mocking the former president for the bizarre claim.
