Trump Once Again Proves Geography Is Not His Strong Suit At All
HuffPost
Spoiler alert: There was mockery.
Think Donald Trump is a bad president? He probably would have been an even worse geography teacher.
And he proved that in spades on Wednesday during a speech at the American Business Forum in Miami, when he confused the country of South Africa with the continent of South America.
“For generations, Miami has been a haven for those fleeing communist tyranny in South Africa,” Trump said. “If you take a look at what is going on in parts of South Africa. Look at what is going on in South Africa. Look at South America, what’s going on. We have a G20 meeting in South Africa. South Africa shouldn’t even be in the Gs anymore.”
There are many factual inaccuracies in Trump’s statement to go along with the obvious geographical gaffes.
For instance, South Africa has never had a communist government, so its citizens have never had to “flee communist tyranny” for Miami.
