US President Trump apparently has not idea about kidneys or doesn't really know what they are.
On Wednesday, Trump signed an executive order that aims to incentivise in-home dialysis, encourage kidney donations, and prevent kidney decline in the first place.
But while unveiling the policy in a speech, Trump said something odd about the vital organ's anatomical whereabouts.
"You've worked so hard on the kidney," Trump said. He then added that "Very exceptionally. The kidney has a special place in my heart. It is an incredible thing," which is most certainly not where it's located.
And Twitter can't get over his statement.
Trump thinks the kidney is part of the heart, I kidney you not. https://t.co/SJogiCqMy6

Trump has a kidney where normal humans have a heart.
Explains why he’s so full of piss and vinegar. https://t.co/i4kBLFwHBJ
As a former surgeon, the only time I've seen the kidney having a "special place in the heart" was after a fall from a 6-story building.

At first I thought this might just be clumsy phrasing, but the way he slows down and emphasizes "in the heart" makes me think, no, he believes the kidney is literally in the heart. https://t.co/ZZIkvn3aIy

"the kidney has a very special place in the heart" is just pure sublime. we finally have a challenger to "very legal and very cool" and "one of the wettest we've ever seen from the standpoint of water." https://t.co/vtcOgyElWo
