President Donald Trump got another meme out of a Cabinet meeting this week, this time by chanting “bing” repeatedly while narrating a missile intercept out loud.
The moment came at Camp David, during a discussion of whether Ukraine should be allowed to build its own Patriot interceptors under license. Trump drifted from that question into a description of a recent strike on five incoming ballistic missiles, running through the numbers before acting out the impacts himself.
“The other day you read that five missiles were shot. They were going 8,600 miles an hour. Think of it, eight thousand, six hundred,” he said. “Now a car, if you go 60, it gets to be a little faster if you go 100. 8,600 miles an hour, and they were big missiles and they were shot at Jordan. And our guys were there… bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing. Five. Bing, bing, bing, bing, bing.”

People in the room laughed. Trump then took a swipe at his predecessor: “I don’t want to be Joe Biden… I had to be careful… that would have been a great soundbite.”
The clip did what these clips always do now it was everywhere within hours. Some of the reaction was just mockery (“words elude him,” as one post put it). Some was more pointed, with users arguing the moment said something uncomfortable about who’s currently in charge. Someone else noted the stranger detail: Trump is apparently still the person most fixated on Joe Biden.
This isn’t an isolated thing. At Lindsey Graham’s funeral, Trump wandered off his prepared eulogy to argue with his own script — pushing back on the line about how “everyone” liked Graham. “Well, not everybody,” he said, before turning to address Graham’s sister directly: “He was a tough cookie, OK? I have to be I have to veer from this for a second. He was a tough cookie, Darline, but he was beautiful.” Worth noting: Darline Graham Nordone isn’t just a grieving sister in the crowd — she’s since been appointed to finish out her brother’s Senate term.

Then there was the EPA speech, where Trump resurrected a story about wind power that he’s told before and that simply isn’t true. Talking up his opposition to renewable energy, he told the audience the whole country had missed his 2024 debate against Biden because “the wind wasn’t blowing” and the power went out. It didn’t. Over 51 million people watched that debate on television — including plenty of viewers in Texas, which produces more wind power than any other state in the country.
