A thread for those who think @realDonaldTrump could find Ukraine on a marked map:
.@realDonaldTrump thinks Belgium is a city, albeit a pretty one.

politico.eu/article/donald…
.@realDonaldTrump seems to think Paris is in Germany. (It kind of was for a few years in the 1940s, I guess.)
.@realDonaldTrump thinks there are countries on this planet called “Nipple” and “Button.” (Do NOT, under any circumstances, ask him to point them out. PLEASE.)

politico.com/story/2018/08/…
Also, @realDonaldTrump didn’t understand that when it’s the afternoon in Washington, it’s the middle of the night in Tokyo.
politico.com/story/2018/08/…
In a meeting with leaders from the *Baltic* states, @realDonaldTrump thought he was talking to people from the *Balkans*. (No, seriously. This created quite a stir in diplomatic circles.)

baltictimes.com/trump_confused…
I have to say that really is my personal favorite. @realDonaldTrump is there trashing the presidents of Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia for the breakup Yugoslavia, and they’re like, WTF. And then it dons on them—Balkans, Baltics ... buffoon.

Don’t forget that beautiful border wall @realDonaldTrump is building between Colorado and Mexico.
washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/10…
Oh, wait. A small correction. @realDonaldTrump thought Nipple and Button were in India, not separate countries. My bad—we all make mistakes. Sorry.

.@realDonaldTrump once bombed Syria but thought he bombed Iraq.
cnn.com/videos/politic…
.@realDonaldTrump once got a call from the president of *South* Korea, but then told hundreds of journalists that he’d gotten a call from the leader of *North* Korea.

“After I had won, everybody was calling me from all over the world. I never knew we had so many countries.”
— @realDonaldTrump

.@realDonaldTrump once told the prime minister of India, “It’s not like you’ve got China on your border.” (India has a 2,520-mile border with China.)

.@realDonaldTrump has to be told in 2018 that Ireland isn’t part of the U.K. ....
irishtimes.com/news/world/uk/…
... yet made the mistake again in 2019.
independent.ie/world-news/eur…
And just a few days ago, @realDonaldTrump earned global mockery when met with the president of *Iraqi* Kurdistan but thought he was taking to someone from *Syria*.

* This anecdote is from the greatest book ever about Donald Trump, by @CarolLeonnig and @PhilipRucker, a book I wish @MikeBloomberg would put in every mailbox in America:

When Gordon Sondland called @realDonaldTrump on July 26 and said he was in Kyiv, Trump had to ask whether Sondland was in Ukraine, according to the testimony of embassy staffer David Holmes.
cbsnews.com/news/david-hol…
National-security officials once showed @realDonaldTrump a map of Korea. What he saw stunned him: He had no idea Seoul was so close (15 mi) to the DMZ, well within the range of KPA-GF artillery.

time.com/5744414/trump-…
.@realDonaldTrump asked, “Why is Seoul so close to the North Korean border?”

And then, referring to the 10 million inhabitants of South Korea’s capital, he said, “They have to move!”

time.com/5744414/trump-…
In 2018, @realDonaldTrump didn’t know the difference between England and the United Kingdom, our closest ally.
newsweek.com/donald-trump-b…
And in 2019, @realDonaldTrump remained blissfully ignorant, and confused about, the distinction between England and the UK. He seems to think that England changed its name. Maybe a branding thing. Who knows.

indy100.com/article/trump-…
And now we have this for the Trump geography thread:
And now it appears that the president of the United States of America thinks that one of the two military engagements that started America’s Revolutionary War was fought in Concord, *New Hampshire*.

“Shelton wants to politicize the Fed, because she explicitly said she wants to. In an op-ed last fall, she argued that the Fed should ‘pursue a more coordinated relationship’ with the White House.”
“Just as troubling as her many opportunistic policy reversals, though, are the ideas Shelton still hasn’t reversed herself on. Especially: her desire to bring back the gold standard.”
washingtonpost.com/opinions/yes-t…
“In short, Shelton is an opportunist and a quack. Senate Republicans seem to know this — but they still may be too craven to oppose her nomination, for fear of crossing Trump.”

The Paula Jones case would not speak to this, since these were official government acts and I can’t imagine they are suing him for damages personally (which would be barred by Nixon v. Fitzgerald).
The question of whether the president or other high officials could be deposed in a suit trying to reverse a government as improperly motivated would be dealt with by some other lines of cases I don’t think I’ve read.

As @RitaKonaev notes, "Mattis had no problem disagreeing w/Obama about transgender people in the military or women in combat but won’t criticize Trump for asking foreign powers for dirt about political opponents.

This isn’t about him being above politics. This is his politics."
Excellent point here, and makes you wonder why Mattis' deference to the commander-in-chief is selectively applied in this manner 🤔
7 freshman House Ds, all with natsec experience: "If true, we believe these actions represent an impeachable offense ...

We call on our colleagues in Congress to consider the use of all congressional authorities available, including inherent contempt."

‼️Boris Johnson is Britain's Donald Trump

– Complete with Breitbart's Bannon and Russia Cover-Up

BORIS JOHNSON
MAIN MEGA THREAD

H/T @paulhanley12

Boris Johnson is/was advised by Steve BANNON – Trump’s campaign manager & VP of the notorious, now-shuttered electioneering firm Cambridge Analytica, which he co-founded in 2014 w/ hedge fund billionaire Robert Mercer, who also backed the Breitbart sites.
bylinetimes.com/2019/06/12/bor…
📌Johnson and Bannon became friends when Johnson was still Foreign Secretary and Bannon was still in the White House in early 2017.

📌They have been in contact ever since and the fruits of this friendship have been evident for some time

1/ As we look forward to 2019 and all of the amazing things that are to come. We must first look at what has got us to this place we find ourselves today. #TheGreatAwakening of an entire planet. The change of a society from a malevolent one bent on our destruction to one that

.@realDonaldTrump's man in Brussels Ambassador @gordondsondland told me #EU is making mistake trying to wait out Trump & sneaks in assertion that Trump will win re-election in '20 "If a liberal democrat, succeeds the president as the next president when his two terms are up...
...they are still going to want the same result. I don't believe any president of any party is simply going to let the European Union continue to build its advantage, continue to proliferate regulation...

"Trump has used Harley-Davidson as an example of a US business that is being harmed by trade barriers. Yet Harley has warned consistently against tariffs, saying they would negatively impact sales"

Harley, hit by tariffs, shifts some production overseas apnews.com/6c8942f7363743…
Important issue highlighted by @riotwomennn: are tariff exemptions determined by bribes?

Corker: "22,000 companies have asked for exemptions.There is no basis to deal with them. Are they going to grant these exclusions based on political contributions?"
Trump’s trade war with the European Union is going to cost Harley-Davidson as much as $100 million a year and force the manufacturer to shift production out of the U.S. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
