Trump doesn't recognize Missourah

He rushed out the tweet because he’s excited about hosting the Chiefs to a fast food feast.
And rename Washington State. If you need to specify that it’s the state, and not the city, then you already lost. At least with New York there’s an assumption you mean the city, but a specification that you mean the city to boot (nyc). Washington state needs a facelift.
They should really consider renaming to Missouri City though. Shit's confusing
Dude obviously has geography issues.

During his speech at the Shale Insight Conference in Pennsylvania on Wednesday afternoon, President Donald Trump boasted about building a border wall in Colorado, which is hundreds of miles from the U.S.-Mexico border. “You know why we’re going to win New Mexico?” Trump exclaimed. “Because they want safety on their border. And they didn’t have it. And we’re building a wall on the border of New Mexico!”
“And we’re building a wall in Colorado,” the president continued. “We’re building a beautiful wall, a big one that really works—you can’t get over, you can’t get under.” Trump went on to note that “we’re not building a wall in Kansas”—which directly borders Colorado to the east—before making an odd pivot to declare that “Louisiana is incredible.”

President Donald Trump on Saturday boasted to reporters about how well San Antonio’s border wall is working. But the Texas city is 150 miles from the Mexican border and has no wall.
“Everybody knows that walls work. You look at different places, they put up a wall, no problem,” Trump said outside the White House. “You look at San Antonio, you look at so many different places, they go from one of the most unsafe cities in the country to one of the safest cities, immediately, immediately.”
The president may have intended to refer to El Paso, a Texas border city he referenced last week in an almost identical anecdote ― though he is wrong that the wall there had any effect on its crime rate.

As a candidate, Trump called Belgium “a beautiful city,” even though it’s a country.
He also tweeted about violence in Paris and then declared, “Germany is a total mess-big crime."
last month that Trump told Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at one point that “it’s not as though you have China right on your border.” India does border China, though, and then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson covered his face after Trump said it.
Man shot inside Paris police station. Just announced that terror threat is at highest level. Germany is a total mess-big crime. GET SMART!

He has reportedly expressed surprise that Nepal and Bhutan were countries, rather than parts of India, and he also pronounced them “nipple” and “button.”
There was the time he pronounced Tanzania, “Tan-ZAY-nee-uh,” like Tasmania (or the cartoon “Taz-Mania”). It’s pronounced “Tan-zuh-NEE-uh."
Trump’s troubles with Africa didn’t stop there. One of his most famous flubs was referring to the country of “Nambia” — twice. Aides clarified that he was referring to Namibia, not Zambia or Gambia.
Some of Trump’s other flubs or potential flubs in this arena include referring to Paradise, Calif., as “Pleasure” twice during the wildfires there.
He has referred to the Persian Gulf as the “Arabian Gulf.” (That might have been deliberately provocative — a dig at Iran — but it doesn’t appear to be U.S. government policy; the White House still refers to it as the Persian Gulf.)
The French newspaper Le Monde has reported that Trump accused the leaders of the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania of being responsible for the war in Yugoslavia in the 1990s. The leaders apparently deduced that he had mixed up “Baltic” with “Balkan.” (The Baltics border the Baltic Sea in northern Europe, while the Balkans are much further south, near the former Yugoslavia.)
Trump reportedly did this despite first lady Melania Trump hailing from Slovenia, which used to be part of Yugoslavia.
Perhaps Trump’s most persistent struggle with European geography, though, has to do with the United Kingdom. Trump has repeatedly suggested that the “United Kingdom,” “Great Britain” and “England” might be interchangeable and that one or the other might have simply fallen out of favor in contemporary usage.
“I have great respect for the U.K., United Kingdom. Great respect,” Trump said in August 2018. “People call it Britain. They call it Great Britain. They used to call it England, different parts.”
In an interview with Piers Morgan during August’s Group of Seven conference in France, Trump made similar comments, prompting his friend to clarify that “United Kingdom” and “Great Britain” were not interchangeable. Trump then insisted that he knew the difference, but “a lot of people” don’t:
TRUMP: You have different names — you can say “England,” you can say “UK,” you can say “United Kingdom” so many different — you know you have, you have so many different names — Great Britain. I always say: “Which one do you prefer? Great Britain? You understand what I’m saying?’
MORGAN: You know Great Britain and the United Kingdom aren’t exactly the same thing?
TRUMP: Right, yeah. You know I know, but a lot of people don’t know that. But you have lots of different names. The fact is you make great product, you make great things. Even your farm product is so fantastic.
During the same trip, Trump disclosed that he had quizzed new British Prime Minister Boris Johnson about the differences.
“We have been with, I guess I would start out by saying ‘England,’ right,” Trump said. “You know, I asked Boris, where’s ‘England’? What is happening with ‘England’? They don’t use it too much anymore; we talked about it. It was very interesting.”
