President Donald Trump is full of himself, and his narcissism is well known among both friend and foe, critics contend.
But, even by his standards, Trump made an astounding admission, replete with curse words and gutter talk, that gave his enemies a brutal new way to roast him.
It happened Tuesday morning, at the Andrew Mellon Auditorium in Washington, D.C. Trump was there to launch a new AI-powered website to help Americans access government benefits.
In the middle of his speech, he astonishingly said the quiet part out loud.
Trump began bragging about how a staffer told him the website is “the single biggest thing he’s done.”

“They looked at this over the last couple days, and they can’t believe it,” Trump crowed.
“They say, ‘This is one of the most incredible things that your government has done.’ I don’t think so. I think it’s damn good, but somebody said, ‘Sir, this is going to be the single biggest thing you’ve done in government.’ I said, ‘I don’t think so.’ But it’s damn good, OK?”
“It’s just another thing. Just another thing. ‘Sir, there’s no question this will be the biggest thing you’ve ever.’ If it is the biggest thing I’ve ever done, I’ve done a sh-tty job as president,” Trump amazingly admitted.
And roast him they did. Social media complied, raking him over the coals so badly he surely wished he hadn’t said it.
“Aw, come on, it hasn’t been that sh-tty except for the rising cost of living, pointless Iran war, ICE killing people, OK, come to think of it he has been quite sh-tty,” an X user declared.
Another proclaimed, “The only true thing he has EVER said.”
This commenter pointed out, “The first honest thing to come from his mouth in a long, long, long time. I didn’t hear the context or what he said afterwards; I’m sure he was joking! He never accepts the truth!”
Still others added to the uproar.
“Holy sh-t he actually admitted it LMAOOO.”
The new website, America.gov, will help Americans access information spread across government websites, according to a press release on the White House’s website.
The release calls it a “unified digital front door to the Federal Government for every individual in the United States seeking Federal information or services.”
Airbnb co-founder Joe Gebbia led the development of America.gov through the National Design Studio.
At its launch, Gebbia repeated what the website says: that it’s the “front door” to the federal government, simplifying information from passports to Medicare.
Trump also praised the new site at the launch event.
“With America.gov, the federal government no longer stands in your way, and it stands only at your service,” the president claimed.
He said the platform is “not just simply a website,” but “a restoration of America’s founding promise” and “a reinvention of your government for the 21st century and beyond.”
