President Donald Trump stumbled into a new word on Thursday during a Pentagon speech honoring Mark Esper, who earlier in the week was confirmed as his secretary of defense.

In going over Esper's career, the president made note of the fact that Esper had been awarded the Combat Infantryman's Badge for his service in the 101st Airborne Division during the first Iraq War.

However, when the president spoke, he called it the "Combat Infantroopen Badge."

Elsewhere in his speech, the president also erroneously described members of Congress as "lawmarkers."

Watch both videos below.

Meghan McCain complained that special counsel Robert Mueller didn't offer "smoking gun" proof of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia -- but Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) set her straight.

The former FBI director testified at length Wednesday before two House panels, and Schiff walked him through his findings that Russia had offered to help elect Donald Trump -- whose family members and other associates accepted that help and actively promoted emails stolen by Kremlin operatives, and then lied to cover up those efforts.

Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) on Thursday threw a tantrum over the House Oversight Committee's vote to subpoena emails that Ivanka Trump sent while using a private email account for government business.

During a hearing on the subpoenas, Roy bitterly complained that Congress was spending too much money -- even as he chided Congress for not spending more money to secure the southern border between the United States and Mexico.

"We're not doing anything to stop and deal with the problems we’ve got with cartels managing the border!" Roy complained. "And we're sitting here in a phishing expedition for emails about a law that's being complied with."
