It’s been over a week since President Donald Trump became the 47th President of the United States. During his first presidency, Mr Trump made history for his questionable quotes, such as the infamous ‘grab them’ line. And it appears he wants to add more to the list. Here are a few of Mr Trump’s most questionable quotes so far. Mr Trump kicked off the eve of his inauguration with the launch of a multibillion-dollar cryptocurrency meme coin.

The digital currency known as $TRUMP surfaced on his social media pages and swiftly rose to the top of the cryptocurrency market. Within a day, a single coin's value soared to $75, but it then dropped to $39. Mr Trump told reporters when announcing the launch: “I don't know much about it other than I launched it, other than it was very successful.”. However, industry insiders have openly questioned the introduction of the so-called meme-coin.

It wouldn’t be a Mr Trump speech if he didn’t comment on the outgoing president. Using his podium in the Capitol Rotunda to attack his predecessor, outgoing Democratic President Joe Biden, Mr Trump adopted an aggressive stance during his January 20 inaugural address. Mr Trump announced at his January news conference at Mar-a-Lago that he would rename the Gulf of Mexico to become the Gulf of America, claiming that cartels now control the gulf and that “it's ours”.

He said: “We're going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, which has a beautiful ring that covers a lot of territory, the Gulf of America. “What a beautiful name. And it's appropriate. It's appropriate. And Mexico has to stop allowing millions of people to pour into our country.”. Google is also running with it. In a statement on social media on Monday, it said: “We have a longstanding practice of applying name changes when they have been updated in official government sources.”.

However, Mexico contends that the United States cannot lawfully rename the Gulf since the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea stipulates that a nation's sovereign territory can only be extended 12 nautical miles offshore. Mr Trump revealed on January 29 that he was overseeing the construction of a detention facility at Guantanamo Bay that will house up to 30,000 migrants who are not authorised to be in the US.

He said: “Today I'm also signing an executive order to instruct the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security to begin preparing the 30,000-person migrant facility at Guantanamo Bay. Most people don't even know about it.”. After the September 11, 2001 attacks, then-US President George W Bush established the Guantanamo Bay detention centre in 2002 to house suspected foreign militants. In his first public speech after a midair collision between a US military helicopter and an American Airlines flight from Kansas killed all 67 aboard, Mr Trump speculated that diversity hiring may have been a factor in the disaster.

He said during a press conference on Thursday, January 30: “We do not know what led to this crash, but we have some very strong opinions and ideas.”. He claimed that the FAA website stated that persons with disabilities such as “hearing, vision, missing, extremities, partial paralysis, complete paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability and dwarfism” were “all qualified for the position of a controller of airplanes pouring into our country”.

Mr Trump added: “Brilliant people have to be in those positions, and their lives are actually shortened, very substantially shortened because of the stress where you have many, many planes coming into one target and you need a very special talent and a very special genius to be able to do it,”. There is no proof that the tragedy was caused by the FAA's diversity initiatives. Also during the with things he said during the press conference on January 30, when asked about his plans to visit the crash site, Mr Trump added: “I have a plan to visit, not the site. Because you tell me, what’s the site? The water? You want me to go swimming?”.
