  • Trump gets Seoul population wrong by 28 million

    It does not get much better than this:

    “I know South Korea better than anybody. It’s a very tight (sic). Do you know how many people are in Seoul? Do you know how big the city of Seoul is? 38 million people. Bigger than anything we have. 38 million people all tightly wound together.” https://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...-a9437846.html
    The truth is Seoul has a population of just under 10 million. This was seemingly unknown to the guy who knows South Korea better than anybody.

      In fact, Seoul has a population of just under 10 million. It is possible that Mr Trump confused the South Korean capital with Tokyo, the world’s largest metropolitan area, which has an estimated population of close to 38 million,

      Others have pointed out that Seoul is 38 metres above sea level, and that the figure is rendered as “38m” in the short Wikipedia summary that appears when the word “Seoul” is googled. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...-a9437846.html

        Presumably it was a mistake by a minion rather than Trump himself. Though it speaks to the (lack of) quality and competence in the people around him.

              Nope. But that sounds funny too. You have such competent people to choose from.

                And to his own lack of competence to identify a rather obvious error.

                  Oh, ye of little faith. The shadow task force led by Jared is doing so well; Trump is a business genius who is able to get the best minds into government to do battle with the deep state; his speech writers are unparalleled, writing only the best speeches.

                  The Anointed One is doing battle with the forces of evil. And if it weren't for the SEIU hoarding masks (https://www.factcheck.org/2020/03/un...wisted-online/ ), Cuomo hoarding ventilators, or the media trying to trap Trump, you'd see that.

                    Of course seer could have mentioned Biden not knowing what day it is, what year it is, what his name is or what office he's running for -- all of which happened just in the last month or so

                      Seer was friendly enough to let you make it even more obvious that most likely you will have two incompetent people to choose from. Too bad for you.

                        Making those sort of errors that Trump made aren't all that uncommon -- remember Obama's "57 states" remark? But talking about voting in the general election next year -- or in "Super Thursday, not knowing your own name, or talking about if you don't like him "vote for the other Biden," or forgetting what office he's running for, or confusing your sister for your wife (and no they had not switched places as he tried to claim) ... and of course this:




                        Taken separately they aren't that much of a big deal, but all together -- especially in a very short space of time... well

                          According to a funny picture on twitter Kim Jong-un is very happy about Trumps's statement and smilingly concludes: "I no longer craziest leader. Lol." https://twitter.com/Sharonmarlie/sta...54424175738880

                          However, we should remember there are quite many areas, not just South Korea, where no one knows more than Trump.

                          "I know more about courts than any human being on Earth."

                          "I know more about renewables than any human being on Earth."

                          "Technology — nobody knows more about technology than me."

                          I know more about drones than anybody. I know about every form of safety that you can have."

                            True for many many reasons, though incompetence, ignorance, and being a habitual liar pants on fire are not impeachable offences.

                              As we saw during the corrupt impeachment circus they don't need impeachable offences to impeach
