https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2026/1/20/2364447/-What-the-hell-is-Trump-talking-aboutI grew up in Queens, we had a place called Creedmoor [Psychiatric Center], Trump said, Creedmoor. Did anybody know that? Creedmoor. It was a big I said, Mom, why are those bars on the building? I used to play little league baseball there at a place called Cunningham Park. I was quite the baseball player, you wouldn't believe. But I said to my mother, Mom, she would be there, always there for me. She said, Son, you could be a professional baseball player. I said, Thanks, mom. I said, Why are those bars on the windows?
New Yorkers responded thus
the park is more than three miles from where the mental asylum is located. Many suggested that Trump, perhaps, meant the Alley Pond Park, which is just next to Creedmoor.

* No she wasnt she would leave the house when he came home from military school where he was
so he didnt have to go into a juvenile detention facility after putting a smaller child in a hospital and he tried to throw a teacher out a window because he scared her so much.

or even being on a team.

(76,536 posts)I was always the best athlete. Something that nobody knew about me.
I was the best baseball player in New York when I was young*.
But I also knew that it was very limited, because in those days you couldn't even make a lot of money playing baseball.
Everybody wanted me to be a baseball player. But I was good in other sports too. I was good in wrestling, I was very good at football. I was always the best at sports.
