Donald Trump got his Eastern European conflicts mixed up and there are almost more mistakes than words in this short clip
Never let it be said that Donald Trump isn’t always totally on top of his brief. Well, maybe not always. How about rarely, if ever?
We say this after the American president was keen to point out his extraordinary conflict-solving prowess (source: Donald Trump) during his Chequers press conference with Keir Starmer.
Except he didn’t get his ducks lined up in a row and there were almost more mistakes than there were words.
Trump has difficultly pronouncing "Azerbaijan" while taking credit for ending a war between "Azerbaijan and Albania" (he meant Armenia) pic.twitter.com/7b80sMlVXZ

Close but no Diet Coke! And these people surely said it best.

He's right – the war between "Aberbaijan" and Albania was never going to be settled.

If Biden made a gaffe this egregious and embarrassing it would be front page news in the New York Times. But now it's just Trump being Trump! https://t.co/ArKFU0SLV3

I, for one, am very grateful to President Trump for ending the war between Aber-Baysian and Albania.

He’s taking credit for ending wars that never existed because he’s too stupid to know the names of the countries he’s talking about.

It was a big war, people said they’d never been a war like it. They said it’d go on forever, no-one could end this war. But I ended it. It’s the 61st war that I’ve ended. So many wars…

Trump has made this mistake – confusing Armenia and Albania – before, and it’s revealing nobody in his staff was brave enough to point it out. https://t.co/sm9Ug3bF87

BREAKING: In a moment of pure cognitive decline, stupidity, or both, Trump mixes up “Albania” with Armenia and has difficulty pronouncing "Azerbaijan" while taking credit for ending a war between the two.
When is it time to take away Grandpa’s keys?
