Donald Trump has left people scratching their heads over some random remarks he made about his sexual preferences while giving at speech at his first ever Board of Peace meeting.

The Board of Peace met for the first time today (February 19) where officials from nearly 50 countries came together to discuss world affairs.

27 of these countries have officially joined The Board of Peace — Trump's brainchild which was first proposed back in September 2025.

One of the key topics of discussion at today's meeting was Gaza, which is being destroyed in the ongoing tensions between Hamas and Israel.

The conflict is believed to have killed at least 75,000 people over the course of 16 months, The Guardian reported.

Nine members of Trump's new board have now agreed to pledge seven billion dollars towards a Gaza relief package, those countries being Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, the United Arab Emirates, Morocco, Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan, and Kuwait.

However, away from the serious topics discussed in Washington DC today, Trump randomly started discussing his sexual preferences...

He said of the President of Paraguay, Santiago Peña Palacios, who was in attendance: "[He's a] young, handsome guy. It's always nice to be young and handsome. Doesn't mean we have to like you."

Trump's ramblings continued: "I don’t like young, handsome men. Women, I like. Men, I don’t have any interest."

Thanks for sharing, Donald.

People have reacted to the POTUS' undeniably unusual comments on Reddit.

"What a f**king embarrassment," one person wrote, with a second saying: "His brain is so cooked. I hope it hurts."

Somebody else quipped: "Paraguayan President catching strays wondering what the f**k is happening. Next you know, the country will get a tariff for having a handsome young President."

"This is who the US picked to represent them. OMG," added another.

It's not uncommon for Trump to comment on people's appearances. A resurfaced video dating back to 2006 showed him boasting about hiring a 'pretty' teenager despite her having no experience.

In a more recent example, Trump gushed about a 'beautiful' Angolan reporter, Hariana Verás.

In the odd exchange at the White House in July, the president said: "You are beautiful and you’re beautiful inside. I wish I had more reporters like you."

He added: "Karoline [Leavitt] said this, number one, that I shouldn’t say this because it’s politically incorrect."

Evidently that didn't stop him, though...

Notable members of the Board Of Peace include Marco Rubio, Jared Kushner and Tony Blair.
