11 instances Donald Trump confirmed he is in want of a geography lesson

Donald Trump was the centre of yet another geographical blunder on Tuesday as he attended the UN General Assembly in New York City. While meeting with British Prime Minister Andy Burnham for the first time, the President insisted that “England,” “Britain,” and the “United Kingdom” can be used interchangeably – before voicing his bewilderment over the terminology, declaring that the nation has “more names than any other place.”

The 80-year-old appears to have a long track record of struggles regarding the world map, repeatedly facing mockery for his geographical gaffes. During his presidency, Trump famously claimed to have met with the “President of the Virgin Islands” – forgetting he held that title himself as US leader.

On another occasion, he praised the fictional African country “Nambia” in a speech to African leaders. He also suggested building a border wall in landlocked Colorado and once referred to Belgium as a “beautiful city,” demonstrating an enduring habit of redefining global cartography on the fly.

Let’s look at 11 of his cringeworthy geographical blunders below.
