Donald Trump may be president, but that doesn’t mean you want him as the navigator on a road trip.
That’s because the president made a claim about the Middle East on Sunday not supported by any map ― and one that would get him a failing grade on a geography test.
While talking with journalists on Air Force One, Trump praised Qatar for its role in the ceasefire and credited the “tremendous” help of the country’s emir, Tamim bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, in mediating the peace deal.
Trump could have left it there, but he went on to make an embarrassing gaffe.
“They were very brave and their leader, the emir, was very brave,” Trump said. “His country is right in the middle of everything. More so than any other country. His country, you walk across a line, and you’re there.”
