Trump didn't know China and India are neighbors and the significance of Pearl Harbor

[DemocratSinceBirth]

President Trump reveals himself as woefully uninformed about the basics of geography, incorrectly telling Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, “It’s not like you’ve got China on your border.” He toys with awarding himself the Medal of Freedom.

And, according to a new book by Washington Post reporters Philip Rucker and Carol D. Leonnig, Trump does not seem to grasp the fundamental history surrounding the attack on Pearl Harbor.

“Hey, John, what’s this all about? What’s this a tour of?” Trump asks his then-Chief of Staff John F. Kelly, as the men prepare to take a private tour of the USS Arizona Memorial, which commemorates the December 1941 Japanese surprise attack in the Pacific that pulled the United States into World War II.

China and India fought a border war, you blithering idiot.

2. Mark Twain must have known Trump in another life...thus,

"It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt."

3. Oh man, I hope he gives himself the Medal of Freedom

That would be amazing.

Yeah, I know, he's not trying to grift some suckers into building a tower there, so he has no interest and knows nothing about it.
