A thread for those who think @realDonaldTrump could find Ukraine on a marked map:

.@realDonaldTrump thinks Belgium is a city, albeit a pretty one.

https://www.politico.eu/article/donald-trump-belgium-is-a-beautiful-city-hellhole-us-presidential-election-2016-america/ …
Donald Trump: ‘Belgium is a beautiful city’
At least it’s better than being called a ‘hellhole.’

.@realDonaldTrump seems to think Paris is in Germany. (It kind of was for a few years in the 1940s, I guess.)

Donald J. Trump ✔@realDonaldTrump

Man shot inside Paris police station. Just announced that terror threat is at highest level. Germany is a total mess-big crime. GET SMART!

.@realDonaldTrump thinks there are countries on this planet called “Nipple” and “Button.” (Do NOT, under any circumstances, ask him to point them out. PLEASE.)

https://www.politico.com/story/2018/08/13/trump-world-knowledge-diplomatic-774801 …
Trump’s diplomatic learning curve: Time zones, ‘Nambia’ and ‘Nipple’

Also, @realDonaldTrump didn’t understand that when it’s the afternoon in Washington, it’s the middle of the night in Tokyo.

https://www.politico.com/story/2018/08/13/trump-world-knowledge-diplomatic-774801 …
The president has often perplexed foreign officials and his own aides as he learns how to deal with the world beyond America's borders.

In a meeting with leaders from the *Baltic* states, @realDonaldTrump thought he was talking to people from the *Balkans*. (No, seriously. This created quite a stir in diplomatic circles.)

https://www.baltictimes.com/trump_confused_baltics_with_balkans_at_a_meeting_with_baltic_presidents_in_april_-_newspaper/ …

I have to say that really is my personal favorite. @realDonaldTrump is there trashing the presidents of Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia for the breakup Yugoslavia, and they’re like, WTF. And then it dons on them—Balkans, Baltics ... buffoon.

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2018/11/baltics-vs-balkans-trump-reportedly-gets-the-two-confused-at-meeting-with-leaders-of-estonia-latvia-and-lithuania.html …
Is Anyone Surprised Trump Doesn’t Know the Difference Between Baltic States and the Balkans?
He reportedly mixed the two during a White House meeting with Dalia Grybauskaite of Lithuania, Kersti Kaljulaid of Estonia and Raimonds Vejonis of Latvia.

Don’t forget that beautiful border wall @realDonaldTrump is building between Colorado and Mexico.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/10/24/trump-colorado-wall-mocked-twitter/ …
‘Is Wyoming invading?’: Trump mocked for saying he’s building a wall in Colorado
“Well this is awkward ...” tweeted Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D). “Good thing Colorado now offers free full day kindergarten so our kids can learn basic geography.”

Oh, wait. A small correction. @realDonaldTrump thought Nipple and Button were in India, not separate countries. My bad—we all make mistakes. Sorry.

https://www.indiatoday.in/trending-news/story/donald-trump-nepal-bhutan-button-nipple-1449172-2019-02-06 …
Donald Trump thought Nepal and Bhutan were in India. Called them Nipple and Button
We're not kidding. Here's what the President of the United States once said about two independent South Asian countries -- both neighbours of India. (And what Twitterati said about that.)

.@realDonaldTrump once bombed Syria but thought he bombed Iraq.

https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2017/04/12/trump-xi-syria-iraq-misspeak-fox-intv-orig-vstop-aa.cnn …
Trump misspeaks, says US bombed Iraq - CNN Video
During an interview on Fox Business Network, President Trump mistakenly said the US launched 59 missiles, "Heading to Iraq."

.@realDonaldTrump once got a call from the president of *South* Korea, but then told hundreds of journalists that he’d gotten a call from the leader of *North* Korea.

https://qz.com/1222154/trump-said-he-talked-to-north-korea-but-it-was-actually-south-korean-president-moon-jae-in/ …
Trump said he spoke with North Korea, but it was actually South Korea

“After I had won, everybody was calling me from all over the world. I never knew we had so many countries.”
— @realDonaldTrump

At a Nov. 6 state banquet with Japan Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, President Trump said he did not know he wasn't supposed to take visits from world leaders until he was in office.

.@realDonaldTrump once told the prime minister of India, “It’s not like you’ve got China on your border.” (India has a 2,520-mile border with China.)

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/its-not-like-youve-got-china-on-your-border-trump-geography-error-stunned-indian-prime-minister …
'It’s not like you’ve got China on your border': Trump geography error stunned Indian prime minister
President Trump’s shaky grasp of geography almost derailed America’s relations with India, according to a new account of his initial meeting with the country’s prime minister.

.@realDonaldTrump has to be told in 2018 that Ireland isn’t part of the U.K.

https://www.irishtimes.com/news/world/uk/embarrassing-trump-told-ireland-is-not-part-of-uk-1.3563769 …
‘Embarrassing’ Trump told Ireland is not part of UK
Politicians in UK and US respond with outrage to president’s undiplomatic comments

... yet made the mistake again in 2019.

US PRESIDENT Donald Trump confused Ireland and the UK while answering questions about a post-Brexit trade deal and listed Doonbeg among his properties in Britain.

And just a few days ago, @realDonaldTrump earned global mockery when met with the president of *Iraqi* Kurdistan but thought he was taking to someone from *Syria*.

Nice job, George!!

[Wounded Bear]

1. K & R...nt

[NewJeffCT]

2. he really tears the Very Stable Genius a new one

good collection of Trump idiocy

[dem4decades]

3. If only he wasn't married to Kelly Ann. But he's good at skewing Trump.

But Trump's too stupid to know.

[DemocracyMouse]

9. Skewering. Trump's already skewed. (And we're the ones who are screwed)

[dem4decades]

10. Thanks. I'm on the move, no time for corrections.

[not_the_one]

23. Simple bumper sticker...

TRUMPs skewed. WE'RE screwed.

[DemocracyMouse]

30. Nice 👍🏼

[Farmer-Rick]

4. Sometimes, I forget how absolutely stupid Dumpy Trumpy is.

Thanks for the laughs.

[Baitball Blogger]

5. The more I hear of Trump's brain void, the more I feel that his supporters like him

because he doesn't make them feel stupid about themselves.

[Dennis Donovan]

6. Yup, just like the old "who'd you rather have a beer with" thing during the 2000 election

Dubya never made anyone nervous about being too erudite.

[question everything]

14. BINGO!

[PatSeg]

7. Seeing so many

at one time is rather stunning. I am constantly amazed at how truly stupid the man is and too arrogant to admit he is mistaken.

[CaptYossarian]

8. When the tragedy in Benghazi was happening, Trump was thinking "We should bomb Labia".

Yeah, stable genius.

[hurple]

11. Oh my

I need a threadreader for this...

[pandr32]

12. Idiocy on full display for the whole world to see

What makes it worse is that with a good staff member he could be quickly briefed before each encounter or public comment about who and where. This would certainly be advisable, but we found out from Bloomberg that tRump claimed to be the smartest person and so (in tRump logic) did not need advice from anyone about anything.

[question everything]

13. It would be funny if it were not scary

And if so many still love him precisely for these “anti elite” comments.

Peggy Noonan once wrote that this is the revenge of the high school students who sat at the back of the class hating the ones who actually wanted to learn.

[IthinkThereforeIAM]

25. Yep...

... I use that example often when trying to explain why anyone other than big business and those with 401k's support him. That back of the class crowd hated anyone smarter than them, and I still see it to this day.

[Hekate]

15. This. Is. Priceless. And no, I am not laughing.

[erronis]

19. Dump don't know much about geography. Except for Queens, 5th Ave., and golf courses.

[progressoid]

16. Frightening.

[moondust]

17. Perfect.

Best geography teacher EVER!

[WyattKansas]

18. I like the bumper sticker in the thread that says..

If you voted for Trump
stay back 500 feet
I don't trust your judgement

[PatrickforO]

44. Yeah that was great. n/t

[Hermit-The-Prog]

20. carpet-bomb twitter with all the stupidities of trumPutin ...

I hope this is picked up by other twitter users. Trump should experience a carpet-bombing of his ignorance in every field of education. He has not limited himself to geo-political commentary over the years, although that's still a target rich environment even after George Conway's series shown in the OP.

Trump has revealed his ignorance, stupidity and unwillingness to learn since before being installed in office. Collecting the drips and tweets, as above, makes his unfitness even more glaringly obvious.

[keithbvadu2]

21. British Isles and Great Britain

British Isles and Great Britain

[Beartracks]

35. This map is fantastic. Thanks for this!

[RVN VET71]

46. Please, somebody, ask him what he thinks of the Isle of Man!

Since it looks like we may all slip into the slough of authoritarian despond, we might as well look for as many laughs as we can find on the way down.

[not_the_one]

22. Individually these would make excellent 15 second tv pres campaign ads for democrats.

Include the tweet, with photo. I am sure George would be all in.

Brief, and points out his EPIC stupidity. Even his deplorable knuckledraggers would get it.

No offense meant to any Neanderthals.

[NJCher]

45. Love it

I used to write television commercials. I can see this working.

[Mike 03]

24. A Twitter masterpiece.

[nolabear]

26. He couldn't find his own ass with a GPS.

How’s he going to know Balkans and Nepal?

[NoMoreRepugs]

27. 60+ million Americans don't care he's a batshit

crazed loon, that should terrify all of us and serve as a reminder there will never be reconciliation of the populace.

[OAITW r.2.0]

28. A serially stupid man.

His Base: Trump telling it like it is.

[volstork]

29. I had no idea

that it was even possible to be that stupid.

[handmade34]

31. trump couldn't pass a citizenship test

why the hell is he living in the White House??

[NCLefty]

33. Because he hates the same people GOP does: Democrats and brown people.

[Karadeniz]

32. Thanks to Conway for assembling that homage to Dumb!

[Beartracks]

34. Trump's unwillingness to learn basic ANYTHING shows how little he cares. Or is it...

... an INABILITY to learn?? Perhaps both. Maybe being unable to learn has lead to him not caring to learn. But in any case, this is the narcissistic buffoon that too many Americans thought was a genius at... who the fuck knows.

============

[czarjak]

36. "India will help with Pakistan"

[yonder]

37. This is a keeper. Thanks DD

[BHDem53]

38. He probably thinks it borders Nambia.

[Ferrets are Cool]

39. Give that man some BUTTA, cuz he is ON A ROLL!!!!!

[Haggis for Breakfast]

40. "He was a fattish but active man of paralyzing stupidity,

a mass of imbecilic enthusiasms - one of those completely unquestioning, devoted drudges on whom, more even than on the thought police, the stability of the party depended."

1984, by George Orwell

[Rhiannon12866]

41. Twitter replies:

[coti]

42. He told the Baltic leaders that, as an "expert" in real estate, he didn't understand

why they were only charging $4 for rent.

[PatrickforO]

43. Utterly unfit.

Nipple. Button. Belgium. WHY did we elect this man?

Oh. We didn't. Clinton would be in there were it not for the Electoral College.

[colsohlibgal]

47. Stunning Stupidity

This is your hero Trumpsters. Not sure he could pass 2nd Grade. Many of his fans must know this and don’t care.....as long as he keeps going after who they resent or despise, the “Other”.

That has to either be strained relationship with his wife or she is Anonymous.

[Botany]

48. "Stunning Stupidity"

My favorite Trump dumb ass remark was something like, "Poland is a country."
He said that late last summer or in the early fall and I kept repeating for a few
days to people I met because it really was, "Stunning Stupidity."

[DeminPennswoods]

49. You got that right

Since Trump doesn't want to debate and like reality TV, maybe there could challenge matches of "Are you smarter than at 5th grader" instead.
