I'd say touche, but that's the only way Trump speaks.

People just trying to make something that isn't a big deal into a big deal. If you want to bitch about Trump, do so about how he has handled Puerto Rico (which hasn't been the best is could be to be honest), not about this.

Interesting how you say this shouldnt be considered legitimate seeing as Gary Johnson was laughed out of running for president because he didnt know where Alepo was.

Is it possible he legit didn't know? Sure.

Is it more probable, as some here have already mentioned, that he made a mistake? Probably. When you have a job that is 24/7 for 4 years and about 3 hours of sleep a night (my estimation) and have cameras constantly around you and high level decisions to make, you tend to make slips ups from time to time. Reagon would fall asleep at meetings. Benjamin Franklin (who I know wasn't even a President, but still highly involved in government) would be known to reveal important government secrets to women flirting with him at salons. It just kind of comes with the career. They aren't perfect or robots, they are humans just like us.

No.  It is not more probable.  Because there is a clear pattern.

Trump doesn't kknow what the nuclear triangle refers to.  He claims that Clinton had a majority for 8 years (he didn't).  He claimed Andrew Jakcson was angry about the civil war (he was too dead to be angry).  He didn't know much about the relationship between China and North Korea.  He didn't know health care was complicated.  He's referred to non-existent terror attacks.  He doesn't know anything about "the cyber" except that his 10 year old son is amazing with it.  He seems completely unaware of the US' military arrangements with Japan.  He claimed he owns 100% of Trump vineyards (he owns none of it).  Etc etc.

When you make a mistake now and then you get the benefit of the doubt.  When you consistently show you have no idea what you're talking about, you are, as the Secretary of State allegedly said, a fucking moron.

Exactly. The most dangerous people to the cause of a nation are the ones who speak out of ignorance with a veil of confidence.

 Wouldnt you say that If you dont know your territories as president...one has little right to judge immigrants who have to take basic civics questions to become citizens to begin with?

He isn't concerned with immigrants not knowing their facts. He's concerned with terrorists and drug lords coming in. Also, I'd say the majority of Americans (probably 2/3's to 3/4's) wouldn't be able to do well on the civics exam immigrants have to take.

Thats sad, because in the US thats around 5th or 6th grade work depending on what school you go to. It also means those people whom are the most vocal and know very little about the basic are a great danger to others who exercise their rights as law abiding citizens. Anyone can preach about nationalism, but fail to understand the difference of hypocrisy about claiming everyone should be out for themselves and then claim businesses shouldnt do the same. Cognitive dissonance is a funny thing when it comes to politics because it is its own self-imposed checkmate.

A mistake. Like others I this thread have stated politicians tend to make mistakes once in a while.

There is a wealth of quotes you can find if you look closely.

A bit more serious, but it wouldn't have been a deal breaker if I wanted to vote for him.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).
