TRUMP TERM 1: "Alternative facts." TRUMP TERM 2: He has "SILENT SUPPORT!" USA! USA! USA! USA!

Speaking at the White House at an event to honor families killed by illegal immigrants, he also singled out Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem—who has come under scrutiny over ICE’s heavy-handed tactics and her alleged affair with senior adviser Corey Lewandowski—insisting that she and border czar Tom Homan were doing an “incredible” job.

“It just amazes me that there’s not more support out there,” he said.

“We actually have silent support. I think it’s silent. I think that’s how I won.”

The comments capped off a head-scratching event in which the 79-year-old president mused about his mortality, pushed his ongoing election lies, and got so distracted at one point that he stopped mid-sentence to say hello to a woman in the audience who’d had eye problems.

“I gave her money to fix her eyes,” he said. “The doctor ripped me off, but that’s ok.”
