Donald Trump made the speech while visiting the Mack Trucks Lehigh Valley Operations plant in Macungie, Pennsylvania.
The story kicked off after Trump claimed the stock market had improved exponentially since he returned to office.
"He said, 'My wife didn’t think very much of me. We were having marital difficulties, actually. She thought I was nothing. I’m a police officer. I’m a tough guy,'" Trump continued, pointing out that the officer's "muscles were all over the place."
The president downplayed the man's physique as the issue, adding, "Maybe that muscle wasn’t so good because he was always losing money in the stock market."

Donald Trump's Speech Raised Eyebrows
Social media wasn't convinced the police officer story really happened.
Trump's odd story quickly went viral, sparking widespread reactions on social media.
"Has anyone else noticed that 80 percent of his rally schtick is just him telling made up stories in which he is the hero?," one user wrote via X, while another critic added, "Another story that clearly never happened. The end!"
"It’s getting a bit ridiculous," a third added. "Can we please focus on real policies instead of these weird, made up police officer fan fictions?"
Donald Trump Mocked for 'MAGA Mullet'
Donald Trump reportedly stopped taking his hair-loss medication.
Trump sparked another strong social media response just one day earlier after showing off what critics called a "MAGA Mullet" hairstyle.
The new style comes as the Washington Post reported that the president's longtime hair-loss medication, finasteride (commonly known as Propecia), was omitted from his official White House medical summaries.
Three of Trump's former physicians — including Dr. Harold Bornstein, Dr. Ronny Jackson, and Dr. Sean Conley — previously confirmed he took 1 mg medication daily to prevent male-pattern baldness.
"Trump now has a mullet. He’s really trying to please the hillbillies," joked popular anti-Trump activist Brian Krassenstein via X, while another quipped, “This is literally fascism with party in the back.”
