A thread for those who think @realDonaldTrump could find Ukraine on a marked map:
. @realDonaldTrump seems to think Paris is in Germany. (It kind of was for a few years in the 1940s, I guess.) https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/685089631973601280">https://twitter.com/realDonal...
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.)

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.

National-security officials once showed @realDonaldTrump a map of Korea. What he saw stunned him: He had no idea Seoul was so close (15 mi) to the DMZ, well within the range of KPA-GF artillery. https://time.com/5744414/trump-generals-military-experience/">https://time.com/5744414/t...
. @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://time.com/5744414/trump-generals-military-experience/">https://time.com/5744414/t...
And now we have this for the Trump geography thread: https://twitter.com/steve_vladeck/status/1224170024572723200">https://twitter.com/steve_vla...
Update to my @realDonaldTrump-is-ignorant-about geography thread.

Trump didn’t know that Finland is separate country from Russia.
