Trump’s second term has been rife with bizarre moments – here are seven

From derailing meetings by telling fictional stories about serial killers to Davos, the president has left people confused and concerned

Donald Trump vowed to plant the stars and stripes on the planet Mars" during his inauguration speech last year, a bold promise that spoke to otherworldly achievements.

He has deployed troops to US cities, as waves of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents terrorize communities. Trump has ordered the invasion of Venezuela and the capture of its leader, is engaged in ongoing saber-rattling over Greenland, and has threatened historic US allies should they oppose his efforts to seize the autonomous territory of the Danish kingdom. He has amplified online claims that Nato is a bigger threat to the US than historical adversaries China and Russia.
