As Donald Trump got into one of his usual stream-of-consciousness asides during his “Liberation Day” speech on Wednesday, the president became enthralled for the word used to describe a common group of items.

“Likewise, an old fashioned term that we use: groceries. I used them in the campaign. It’s such an old-fashioned term but a beautiful term: groceries. So, it’s a bag with a lot of different things in it,” Trump said during the speech from the White House Rose Garden, where he announcing 50% reciprocal tariffs on several countries.

“Groceries went through the roof, and I campaigned on that,” Trump said. “I talked about the word ‘groceries’ for a lot” of time.

The president then went on to claim several everyday products — groceries, eggs and gas — have dropped in price since he became president for a second time.

During the address, Trump claimed “our country has been looted, pillaged, raped, plundered” by other nations.

The aggressive rhetoric came as Trump showed a willingness to dismantle a global economic system that the United States helped to build after World War II. Trump held up a chart while speaking, showing the United States would charge a 34% tax on imports from China, a 20% tax on imports from the European Union, 25% on South Korea, 24% on Japan and 32% on Taiwan.
