2. I doubt he could find Iran on a map. And if he could, he clearly knows nothing about its borders

(both water and countries). Unfortunately that is probably true of most Americans today. But at least if shown several maps of the region, including the Strait of Hormuz, I do think they would "get it."

Trump has always been an ignorant, arrogant man who could not be bothered to try to learn. That said, I do believe he has had a lifelong difficulty with reading and comprehension. That which he accused Governor Newsom, most likely applies to him. But, now he has lost his filter with advancing dementia, so his delusions guide his actions. He is a seriously dangerous man and sadly, I'm not sure many of us will live to see things turn around. The latter will take decades, if that.
