Former President Donald Trump spoke to the pro-MAGA crowd at the Turning Point USA People’s Convention in Detroit, Michigan, on Saturday, June 15, the day after his 78th Birthday. While he spoke, the adoring crowd sang “Happy Birthday” to him, something the former president used to roast the current president, Joe Biden.
The “Happy Birthday” song came in the middle of his hilarious slamming of Joe Biden, with the crowd breaking into song to sing for his birthday. He then thanked them for singing before turning back to his comments about the current president, joking that he feels better now, after his 78th birthday, than President Biden did three decades ago.
The fun moment came when Trump rhetorically asked, “Who are the people that are destroying our country?” Instead of answering that question, the crowd started singing “Happy Birthday” to the beloved former president, singing, “Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy Birthday to President Trump! Happy Birthday to you!”
Responding to the spontaneous song, Trump thanked the singing crowd for the song and then used the opportunity to poke at Biden for his age, saying, “Thank you very much. Thank you. I feel very young. I feel very young. I don’t know what it is, but I feel better than I did 30 years ago. I don’t know what the hell’s going on. I feel very good.”

During the event, Trump also joked about changing a curse word at the behest of a preacher, saying, “He couldn’t breathe. I said, ‘Are you okay in that beautiful suit?’ He was getting, his suit was getting very damp. I said, are you okay? He goes … ‘Oh, and by the way, I have to tell you, I had a great word that I was going to use, but it’s a curse word. And I was told by a great evangelical preacher just this week, ‘Sir, you tell the greatest stories, you, the greatest, everything. But, sir, please don’t use foul language.’”
He continued, “And I said, ‘sometimes you need foul language to tell a great story. Because there’s no words like this.’ He said, ‘Sir, you don’t–’ So I was going to use a really terrible word, but it’s over in an instant. But the truth is, I think it does look worse. Look at all the media back there. I think it does look worse on television than it sounds in a room. So did you notice I had a blank space right there?”
Watch that here:
The TPUSA event occurred the day before Father’s Day, about which Trump said, in a post on Truth Social, “HAPPY FATHER’S DAY TO ALL, INCLUDING THE RADICAL LEFT DEGENERATES THAT ARE RAPIDLY BRINGING THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA INTO THIRD WORLD NATION STATUS WITH THEIR MANY ATTEMPTS AT TRYING TO INFLUENCE OUR SACRED COURT SYSTEM INTO BREAKING TO THEIR VERY SICK AND DANGEROUS WILL. WE NEED STRENGTH AND LOYALTY TO OUR COUNTRY, AND ITS WONDERFUL CONSTITUTION. EVERYTHING WILL BE ON FULL DISPLAY COME NOVEMBER 5TH, 2024 – THE MOST IMPORTANT DAY IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY.
