Donald Trump is getting a quick reminder of one of his administrations low points after a verbal stumble during an interview that aired on Monday.
The former president claimed on Newsmax that the country wouldnt be able to function if President Joe Biden wins reelection.
Look at even things like supply change, Trump said, likely meaning supply chains, which he claimed was a little-known phrase.
Things we never even heard about, you never heard that term, Trump said. Everything worked under me. It all worked.

Trumps critics stepped in to correct him on a few issues, pointing out that supply chains (not supply change) is a common phrase, and that it didnt work under him when the COVID-19 pandemic began and everything from medical supplies to food items to toilet paper became hard to find:
Actually, we first heard about supply chain issues during the Covid pandemic, which occurred under Trump and which he seems to have forgotten about. Perhaps he should be tested. https://t.co/CUAc9drc8C

To think this is the best that Republicans have to offer. He is gone. https://t.co/mROb7rpXpn

4 years ago stores ran out of toilet paper when the supply chain broke. Folks got hand sanitizer & TP wholesale to re-sell, to gouge their neighbors.
Trump may have forgotten, we havent. https://t.co/rWZN12A4el
What was that hoarding toilet paper thing all about? Pretty sure he was president... https://t.co/zUmPtNShhs

Trump and Kushner never had their toilet paper supply change. But we did, because of their mishandling of the pandemic response. There is no way in the world that Trump should be in charge of anything, including a public restroom. https://t.co/Wk4cgwk2o8

Trump presidency was the only time I ever saw the store run out of toilet paper and milk.

Cant we all just accept once and for all that this man is a complete moron and shouldnt be trusted with a pair of scissors, let alone allowed within a million miles of the White House again?

Its a national embarrassment that hes even in the conversation at this point. https://t.co/yMZRSaBi2i
This is straight up gaslighting. Supply chains literally crumbled under Trump. Americans were fighting over toilet paper. And its supply chains, not change. His brain is mush. https://t.co/OUoP0PiWS9

I think everyone found out what supply chains were when we ran out of toilet paper under Trump. https://t.co/7avZ8jKyml

Things were very,very bad in the supply change during Trump time

Remember toilet paper, remember what happened to lumber , etc etc https://t.co/urF2T3Vv5w
Yeah! Getting masks, ppp supplies and toilet paper was so easy during the pandemic, thanks to Trumps management of the supply change. https://t.co/Qabegp8CAm
