Talking about Puerto Rico is today’s Donald Trump facepalm
Donald Trump has been criticised for being oh, so slow in his response to delivering aid to storm-ravaged Puerto Rico. Here was his response today.

Our favourite bit is when he appears to look to the guy to the left for confirmation. ‘It’s a big ocean, right? Right?’
Now we know for sure, it's a big ocean. A very big ocean. Gee, thanks for sharing your esteemed wisdom with us.😶

Even that part is wrong. The Atlantic is half the size of the pacific.

I mean you can say Atlantic is big but I don't get how you call the second biggest ocean "very big" unless you routinely lie about size 🙃

It isn't like PR is far away, floating waywardly in said ocean. We know exactly WHERE PR is & we know how to get there. It's not Narnia FFS.
