Donald Trump made what critics online mocked as a Freudian slip while speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One.
The president was returning from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where he delivered a rambling address, when he was asked what the $1 billion price tag, which is requested for entry into his “Board of Peace” initiative that he claims will be used to resolve international conflicts, will be used for.
Trump swerved the specifics and instead just conceded it was “a lot of money” for countries to pay.
“But it’s nothing compared to the value of peace,” he continued.
Then he added: “Peace is so destructive for everyone. Even countries that are not involved. It’s so destructive for everyone, when you have wars.”
The “peace is so destructive” flub, which comes amid growing concern over the president’s mental acuity, went viral on social media.
