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.)

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.

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.)

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.

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.

https://www.independent.ie/world-news/europe/us-president-donald-trump-calls-ireland-part-of-uk-as-he-boasts-about-his-british-properties-38437690.html …
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*.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2020/01/23/trump-appears-confuse-kurds-syria-iraq-meeting-with-president-iraqi-kurdistan/
