People spot Donald Trump regularly using two-word phrase and they’ve noticed a major issue with it

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt has issued a statement after Trump was called out for the habit

Donald Trump seems to have a whole bunch of catchphrases and go-to sayings.

From 'Make America Great Again' and 'America First' to 'fake news' and 'loser' - it's clear the 79-year-old Republican is no stranger to a repeated phrase or two when it comes to his social media posts, press conferences, public appearances and everything else in between.

But, there's another two-word phrase which Trump has opted for on a number of occasions now and people have noticed a pretty major issue with it.

One compilation video posted to X last week (19 June) by the Republicans Against Trump account saw the president give the answer of 'two weeks' several times when asked a series of questions by reporters.

One clip, from April, saw a reporter ask Trump whether he trusts Russian president Vladimir Putin, to which Trump vaguely replied: "I'll let you know in about two weeks."

Then, just last month, a second clip saw Trump being asked in the Oval Office whether he thought Putin wanted to end the war with Ukraine to which he said: "I can't tell you that, but I'll let you know in about two weeks."

"It's always “two weeks'," the clip was captioned, pointing issue with Trump's vague seemingly go-to response.

And one of the most recent instances of such a habit took place during a White House press briefing earlier this month.

White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, shared a statement after a reporter pointed out that 'two weeks' is often the unit of time Trump says when giving a response on deadlines.

The reporter specifically how the public and 'be sure he's going to stick to this one on making a decision on Iran'.

Leavitt responding by saying that Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Iran are 'two very different complicated global conflicts' and took the opportunity, once again, to slam the previous Biden administration.

Leavitt claimed they brought about a 'complete dereliction of duty on the world stage and American weakness'.

"With respect to Russia and Ukraine, because of that American strength and the President's leadership, we have seen these two sides engage in direct negotiations," she praised.

"And the last time the President said two weeks, you saw Russia and Ukraine have direct negotiations for the first time in years.


"And so, the President is always interested in a diplomatic solution to the problems and the global conflicts in this world."

Leavitt then dubbed Trump as 'peacemaker-in-chief' and the 'peace-through-strength President', adding: "[...] if there's a chance for diplomacy, the President's always going to grab it.

"But he's not afraid to use strength as well."
