President Trump just hated a CNN clip mocking his geographical knowledge—one asserting he wouldn’t be able to “find Ukraine on a map if you had the letter U and a picture of an actual, physical crane next to it.”
The quip may have sent CNN’s Don Lemon into a giggle fit, but Trump was not amused. He lashed out on Twitter calling him the “dumbest man on television”
Trump’s tweet inspired George Conway to create a thread proving that there is a lot of proof to the joke.

Back in the summer of 2016, Trump told attendees at an Atlanta rally that Belgium was a “pretty city.” Belgium is, in fact, an entire country.

In another European geography mix-up, Trump tweeted about a problem in Paris which he apparently thinks is in Germany.
.@realDonaldTrump seems to think Paris is in Germany. (It kind of was for a few years in the 1940s, I guess.) https://t.co/RF5e3Rb1VO

In 2017, Trump had a giggle over the names of Asian countries while preparing for a meeting with India’s prime minister. Both Nepal and Bhutan were tricky ones for the President.
.@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://t.co/1rRD1SOw0C

Apparently, there were difficulties in the White House in the early days having to do with time zones. Trump thought he could call other world leaders whenever he wanted not realizing people might be sleeping on the other side of the world.
Also, @realDonaldTrump didn’t understand that when it’s the afternoon in Washington, it’s the middle of the night in Tokyo. https://t.co/1rRD1SOw0C

Someone skipped his European studies courses! Trump caused a bit of confusion in 2018 when speaking with the leaders of the Baltic states.
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://t.co/F5DzrV2E7y

During his confusing meeting with the Baltic leaders, he also blamed them for the break-up of Yugoslavia in the 1990s. He may want to brush up on the history of his wife’s birth country.

Remember those country names that gave Trump the giggles? Well…he actually thought they were cities in India.
Oh, wait. A small correction. @realDonaldTrump thought Nipple and Button were in India, not separate countries. My bad—we all make mistakes. Sorry. https://t.co/TfvMJ05n9m

While speaking with the Fox Business Network, Trump mentioned missiles that were “heading to Iraq.” Small problem though, the missiles were actually headed toward Syria.

President Moon Jae-in of South Korea was probably not thrilled to be confused with Kim Jong-un. It is also pretty important that President Trump understands that there are two Koreas…

Trump was surprised by how many world leaders were calling him after his election because he “never knew we had so many countries.” Has the President never seen a world map? Maybe someone needs to explain all those shapes and lines to him.
“After I had won, everybody was calling me from all over the world. I never knew we had so many countries.”

Trump should hire someone to hold up a world map every time he meets with a foreign leader. Then he won’t say things like this:

When bragging about his popularity in the UK, Trump told a reporter: “I believe that the people in the UK – Scotland, Ireland. They like me a lot.”

Not only did Trump mistake Nechirvan Barzani, the president of Iraqi Kurdistan, as the leader of the Syrian Kurds, the President also rambled on about safe zones in Turkey. He even thanked Barzani for “everything you’ve done to keep it as safe as possible.”
And just a few days ago, @realDonaldTrump earned global mockery when met with the president of *Iraqi* Kurdistan but thought he was talking to someone from *Syria*. https://t.co/tJjHWhZ3vk

During the impeachment inquiry, a tidbit of conversation between Trump and Gordon Sondland was put on record:
“I heard Ambassador Sondland greet the President and explain that he was calling from Kyiv. I heard President Trump then clarify that Ambassador Sondland was in Ukraine. Ambassador Sondland replied, yes, he was in Ukraine,”
When Gordon Sondland called @realDonaldTrump on July 26 and said he was in Kyiv, Trump had to ask whether Sondland was in Ukraine, according to the testimony of embassy staffer David Holmes. https://t.co/IXRiivo82z pic.twitter.com/RGkFTYCZ15

During a briefing regarding North Korea’s nuclear facilities, the President was amazed that South Korea would put its capital city so close to the border. “They have to move,” he said. Those in attendance weren’t sure whether or not he was joking.
.@realDonaldTrump asked, “Why is Seoul so close to the North Korean border?”
And then, referring to the 10 million inhabitants of South Korea’s capital, he said, “They have to move!”https://t.co/8JZTJQ5Qqt

Some people can’t tell the difference between Trump and PM Boris Johnson. That’s okay because Trump doesn’t know the difference between the UK and England.

After Super Bowl LIV, Conway was able to add another tweet to his thread when the President didn’t know where the winning NFL team, the Kansas City Chiefs hailed from.

The hilarious geography thread is only one of the ways that Conway rips on the President. He brings the sarcasm and the snark to Twitter nearly every day of the week.

There can’t be too many people that doubt the fact the President’s wallet has gotten fatter since he stepped into his role at the White House. His golf tab alone has already reached nearly $130 million, most of which is being paid to his own resorts.

The fact-checkers have been working overtime since Trump has taken office. If the President’s lips are moving there is a good chance lies and half-truths will follow.
So, it is really no wonder that Conway laid the sarcasm on thick when he read this CNN headline.

Trump brought out the four-letter words while giving his Impeachment victory speech. Conway gave him credit for being the first to use such presidential language during a national address.

Conway wrote a little piece for the Washington Post declaring his eternal belief in all things Donald Trump.
I believe Hurricane Dorian was headed straight for Alabama. I believe the president’s map wasn’t altered with a Sharpie, and that if it was, he didn’t do it, since he didn’t need to because he was right.

Recent allegations in the Washington Post suggest that Trump wants to prevent Bolton’s tell-all book from being published because it contains “classified information.” Except Trump isn’t aiming to keep it off the shelves forever – just until after the November elections.

Trump is playing a game, and he’s playing himself. Will he realize it before he leaves office?
What @realDonaldTrump doesn’t understand is that *his own* incompetence and corruption *creates* what he considers to be “disloyalty” (which really means any doubt about his competence and legitimacy).
So in reality he’s playing Whack-a-Mole with himself. https://t.co/4BrmzBDaWH
