President Donald Trump brought his fascination with the term "groceries" with him to the Middle East on Thursday.

During a trip this week, Trump told the president of the United Arab Emirates, or UAE, it's an old-fashioned word that "means basically what you're buying, food, it's a pretty accurate term, but it's an old-fashioned sound, but groceries are down."

The obsession with the word sparked confusion and mockery from those online who saw the statement.

"What ... what are the youths calling groceries these days?" joked Josh Chafetz, professor of law and politics at Georgetown.

Author and former NFL player Chris Kluwe quipped, "Told my wife I was going to the grocery store for groceries and she asked why I was using that strange word and when I would be back with the victuals."

Former DOJ appointee Eric Columbus recalled, "In Trump’s first term he repeatedly insisted you need ID to buy groceries. Which was weird, but unlike now he never said the word 'groceries' was old-fashioned or anything."

Assistant professor in philosophy, Dr. Keith Wilson, commented on Trump's fascination with the word "is because Trump has never had to shop for groceries in his life, so he finds it an exotic concept."

Rolling Stone politics reporter Asawin Suebsaeng commented, "The Trump groceries things is an example of why he’s such a historic figure, you’re not getting this anywhere else, no other member of the trump clan, no other 'heir' apparent to the maga and gop throne, no influencer or conservative cable news hanger on; nobody. It rocks when JD Vance tries to sell himself as 'I’m Trump but I did the reading in school,' as if that is a thing voters want and as if those two things don’t conflict."

"For the life of me I will never understand why his mental deterioration isn't headline news every single day," remarked historian Heather Cox Richardson.

Anthropologist and archaeologist John Hoopes replied, "Trump grew up hearing his grandmother talk about 'groceries,' but his parents never troubled themselves with that stuff."

"The single thing I am most confounded with about Trump is why he thinks the word groceries is something people stopped saying in 1937," said influencer and podcaster Brendel.

"Has anyone heard of this word 'groceries' Trump keeps using? Is he demented?" asked Dan O'Sullivan.

President Donald Trump is asking the Supreme Court to lift lower court orders preventing him from continuing his mass firings of the civil service, reported The Associated Press on Friday.

These firings have been on hold in part due to a ruling by a federal judge in San Francisco last week.

The report noted that the lawsuit in question was brought by an array of plaintiffs, including "the cities of San Francisco, Chicago, and Baltimore; the labor group American Federation of Government Employees; and the nonprofit groups Alliance for Retired Americans, Center for Taxpayer Rights, and Coalition to Protect America’s National Parks."

U.S. District Judge Susan Illston, appointed by former President Bill Clinton, "questioned whether Trump's Republican administration was acting lawfully in trying to pare the federal workforce," the report noted.

She "directed numerous federal agencies to stop acting on Trump's workforce executive order signed in February and a subsequent memo issued by the Department of Government Efficiency and the Office of Personnel Management," although her order will expire on its own next week.

Since taking office, Trump has sought to slash personnel at agencies across the board, much of it with the blessing of tech billionaire Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency task force.

In many cases, these firings had to be walked back simply because critical functions broke. In one of the most high-profile cases, Trump fired hundreds of vital workers at the National Nuclear Safety Administration and had to re-hire many of them.
