Donald Trump confused Ukraine with Iran, if you were wondering whether President Peace Prize should have the nuclear codes
It must be hard to keep track when you’ve ended eight to ten wars and can’t understand why the Nobel committee hasn’t been battering down your door to give you a Peace Prize for each one.
To add to the confusion, you might theoretically have started a war yourself, without thinking through the consequences, and vastly scaled back the aid you’re sending to another country, which just happens to be the victim of an invasion by a country under the control of a man you call a friend.
Poor Trump. It’s no wonder he gets a little mixed up at times – like when he’s in the middle of a lie about Iran, but he accidentally says “Ukraine”.
President Trump appears to mix up countries here

Coming just two weeks after this Truth Social post, it would be quite the concidence if Ukraine had 159 ships at the bottom of the sea.

Laser-focused as ever. Inevitably, eyebrows – and questions – were raised.

In an ideal world, the commander in chief of the most powerful military on th planet knows the difference between Iran and Ukraine.

He wants Ukraine defeated so I understand how he could conflate the two. https://t.co/FKyO8Ns0ae

Joe Biden said Hezbollah instead of Hamas and then quickly corrected himself and that was blaring front page headlines about his senility.

Trump is conflating Ukraine and Iran as an enemy—after talking to Putin. He is a demented, malfunctioning Manchurian Candidate. https://t.co/iSRjuPXYMl

Who can blame him? Ukraine. Iran. Both have two syllables. Both have an R in them. https://t.co/IanuGcTcP3

Um. This doesn’t reflect well on his analysis of the Iran war. https://t.co/gAJKO5SnYA

Ask Fox News.
Why isn’t Trump’s cognitive health (or lack thereof) a top story at every media outlet? https://t.co/tgc9NWGa0o
