Critics have reacted with horror after Donald Trump made a 'disgusting' joke about a 'threesome' with his 'beautiful' sons.
The President has made more than a few strange remarks in his time, but this one has caused widespread revulsion.
Trump, 80, was speaking at the Congressional Medal of Honour ceremony at the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in North Dakota, ahead of Independence Day celebrations this week.
He was talking about how Roosevelt and his son were one of only two father-son pairs to earn the Medal of Honor in wartime in the US.

The Independent reports he said: “Except for Arthur and Douglas MacArthur... they're the only father and son pair to receive our nation's highest military award for courage above and beyond the call of duty," he began.
Gesturing to his two sons, Donald Trump Jr., 48, and Eric, 42, he made the unusual - and seemingly accidental - X-rated quip.
"Now, as I see my two beautiful sons sitting there, I think I'm going to give one to myself, one to them, and we'll have a threesome."
As the audience gasped, he continued: "Ok, I'll pick out one of the two. I'll give them the Congressional Medal of Honor for something for their genius at hunting, and I'll get one for taking on Russia, Russia, Russia, or something, and we'll have a third pair now."
He went on to say he was 'only kidding', but his son's reaction wasn't caught on camera.
Social media users slammed the remark as 'sick', adding "Trump wants a threesome with his sons. Disgusting."
"Could he be any more disgusting?" echoed one commenter, as another hit out: "Trump is so embarrassing. This just keeps getting worse."

Another wrote furiously: "An insult to all the soldiers who receive the medal of honour for real bravery and sacrifice. This clown is mocking them."
"Sweet dreams tonight everyone," added another, while another wrote sarcastically: "Oh.. very normal thing to say to your sons."
Trump supporters were quick to defend him, saying it was 'a golf term' , with another adding: "When you play golf often it’s not uncommon to use the word twosome. Threesome. And foursome. It’s about how many people are in a group. Not about sex. Idiots."
"A threesome, twosome, foursome… common terms used for golfing. It’s not that deep," added another.
Back in 2006 while appearing on The View, Trump made a controversial comment about his daughter, Ivanka, where he joked: “If Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her."
His spokesperson later insisted it was a joke, but it's just one of many strange things the President has said.
When speaking at the White House in June, the president told reporters: "You know what I really love? I love the inflation.”
For context, the US’ current inflation rate sits at a hefty 4%, the highest rate since April 2023.
When asked by a reporter at Easter how it isn't a war crime to strike Iran's bridges and power plants, Trump responded: "Because they killed 45,000 people in the last month. They kill protesters. They are animals, and we have to stop them."
Q: How would it not be a war crime to strike Iran's bridges and power plants?

In a June 2026 press conference, Trump said when being questioned on the shaky ceasefire with Iran: “It's a different part of the world, you know. I'd say in that part a ceasefire is when you're shooting in a more moderate manner.”
In a March 2026 press briefing with Japanese prime minster Sanae Takaichi, Trump made a joke about the 1941 attack on the US.
A Japanese journalist asked Trump about why the US didn't inform its allies about its plans to attack Iran, to which he responded by saying that the US 'went in very hard' and 'didn’t tell anybody about it because we wanted surprise'.
He then said: “Who knows better about surprise than Japan?”
While this comment drew polite laughter from US officials in the meeting, the room was then plunged into silence at Trump's next remark, in which he said to Sanae: "Why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbor, OK?"
In early 2025, Trump was asked during an interview with the New York Post if he had plans to kick Prince Harry out of the US amid ongoing questions about his immigration status.
"I don’t want to do that. I’ll leave him alone. He’s got enough problems with his wife," he said. "She’s terrible."
Ahead of a 2025 meeting in the Oval Office, the Ukrainian president wore a black, long-sleeved polo shirt featuring the Ukrainian trident - after which he'd vowed not to wear a suit until Russia's invasion of his country would come to an end.
Trump jokily said as he greeted Zelenskyy: "Oh look, you’re all dressed up."
When the US was involved in that dispute over Greenland, as Trump wanted the land to be America’s, he claimed that Denmark didn't have the 'right' to the country.
Well, it's clear Trump didn't realize that Greenland is a self-governing, autonomous country within the Kingdom of Denmark, and has been part of Denmark for 600 years.
During his address to Congress in March 2025, Trump accused the Biden administration of spending $8 million on 'transgender mice' experiments.
PBS later fact-checked this and concluded that this claim was false, with PBS News Hour's White House correspondent Laura Barrón-López saying 'the idea that scientists are making mice transgender is false'.
"These experiments were studying the effects of gender-affirming hormones on asthma and on whether gender-affirming hormones increase breast cancer risk," Barrón-López explained.
During his 2024 election campaign, Trump wildly called for 'one real rough, nasty' and 'violent day' of police retaliation in order to eradicate crime 'immediately' - which many drew comparisons to the thriller film The Purge.
"One rough hour — and I mean real rough — the word will get out and it will end immediately, you know? It will end immediately," Trump said to the crowd in Erie, Pennsylvania.
Another moment during his 2024 election campaign saw Trump take aim at his opponent, former vice president Kamala Harris.
He told his supporters: "We have to tell Kamala Harris that you’ve had enough, that you just can’t take it anymore. We can’t stand you, you’re a s**t vice president. The worst."
