Donald Trump slammed over sweary speech and 'bizarre' analogy in front of faith leaders at White House
It's hardly a rarity to see Donald Trump criticised for his peculiar phrasing and often backwards postulations.
And this week, the US President has landed himself in a double-whammy of trouble, both for 'insulting' business leaders and veering off his tangent left, right and centre.
For those out of the loop with Trump's antics this week, the 79-year-old this week held the first White House Faith Office summit with business leaders on Monday (14 Jul), many of whom are famed for their contribution to religion-oriented charitable work.
Despite a plethora of serious subjects being on the cards for the high-profile get-together, including the ongoing crisis between Russia and Ukraine, it didn't take long for the President to become impassioned by his own right-wing principles.

He spent almost an hour discussing the anti-transgender executive orders his administration put into place earlier this year.
"We've restored the fundamental principle that God created two genders, male and female, that was a tough one," he kicked off. "And we're defending parents’ rights where the parents’ rights have been taken away from them in schools.
"You look at some of these school boards, it's like they're brutal dictatorships. And we brought it all back."
Within minutes, however, Trump had seemingly gotten himself riled up, and went on to drop a number of expletives whilst reflecting on the former political aims of his presidential predecessor, Joe Biden.
“I’ll tell you religion took a big hit because of the way they treated all of us," he went on to say of the Democratic party. "And, we now have a confident nation, an optimistic nation, and we have one nation under God. And we'll always keep that term."
Taking aim at Biden specifically, he branded the left-leaning leader's indictments 'bulls**t', whilst comparing himself to prolific gangster Al Capone. In doing so, Trump claimed he had 'always made money', wrongly insisting that gas prices are the lowest they've been under his rule.
He added that his administration needs to continue working on saving the economy, to prevent people that are 'so rich, so beautiful, so nice to look at' from going bankrupt, so their wives don't leave them.
"I said to one guy, he's a very, very unattractive man," he continued, discussing the possible passing of his controversial Big Beautiful Bill. "But he's smart and he's rich, and I said, 'You better hope we get this thing passed because your wife will be gone within about two minutes'.
Attempting to return the conversation back to faith, he couldn't help but continue firing shots at Biden.
"I think one of the reasons we won so bad is they really wanted to take God and religion out of your lives, and there was nobody to, you know, look up to," the Republican continued.
"There was just nobody. It was – we were freewheeling and we can't free wheel. No, we have to bring religion back into the country. And we're starting to do that, I think, at a very high level."
Criticising the ever-changing topics of conversation and lack of substance to any of Trump's statements, a number of social media users have had their say online.
"That’s bizarre," one wrote on X, as another added: "Imagine saying this at a faith luncheon. The man talks like a nightclub promoter."
And a third went on: "How this guy got elected president is proof that this is the dumbest country in the world."
