Trump gleefully shows the world his stupidity during his RoseGarden #TrumpRally

Trump asks a reporter what the population of Seoul, South Korea, is.

"I know South Korea better than anybody," he says. "You know how many people are in Seoul?"

"38 million," he says.

It's about 10 million.

1. Someone on Twitter made the point that when you google Seoul, the wikipedia preview that comes

up with "38 m."

Which is of course the city's elevation.

2. Idiot strikes again. I alone, know it all!

3. "I know South Korea better than anybody"?

How can even he be stupid enough to make that claim?

4. According to Google...

In 2017, the population was 9.776 million.

He was only off about 28 million.

7. He would have been closer if he had said, "None."

5. This is so spot on! 😂

6. God... This sounds like something you'd hear on The Office

Great show, not something I'd want to live in real life and not be able to get away from.

Dwight: I know South Korea better than anybody.
Jim: Oh, so do you know how many people are in Seoul?
Dwight: 38 million.
Jim: No, I'm pretty sure it's about 10 million. (And Oscar verifies that Jim is indeed correct)

And let's be honest, you read this in their voices, didn't you?

8. Well- he apparently knows their elevation in meters. W/O even realizing it.

Someone is getting fired over that lost and staged attempt at brilliance.

9. Trump is counting those South Koreans who secretly live in rich people's bomb shelters.

I wonder who will get this reference.

10. So Trump knows more about South Korea

than every single South Korean alive today.

I wish a reporter had asked him to say one single word in Korean. Because, you know, Trump knows more about Korea than the Koreans.
