Trump invents a new country: Nambia (Capital city --> Covfefe?)

[usmbguest5318]

He praised a country about their health system. YetHe has no clue about that country...does this guy do his homework before going up there?
I'm sorry but if you can see how stupid this guy, something is wrong with you too.

FYI: AIN'T a lefty and don't like Hillary.

Thank you!!!

Truly, there are several key things that the gaffe illustrates or suggests, and they really don't have much to do with any nation beyond the U.S:

• It's one more piece of evidence that we cannot rely on even the most basic promises/assertions Trump makes.
  • Trump said he'll hire the best people. Among those people are speechwriters, ostensibly "the best" ones. Did they do their homework, or even just proofread the document? Or run "spellcheck?" That speech and the luncheon at which it was delivered didn't "sneak up on" anybody. It was not an impromptu event or speech.
• That Trump twice in one read speech "mispronounced" Namibia, as is claimed, suggests the quality control process at the WH just isn't working.
  
• Trump has numerous times boasted that he is smart. Once again we see he is not.
  • Do smart people flub the name of a nation, while talking to the head of state of that nation at an event one is hosting, and not notice it, not apologize, not correct themselves, or immediately do/say something other than leave it to folks back in Washington to "atone" for one's error?
  • Screw, smart in a "book smart" way. How about just smart enough to be courteous?
  • The gaffe repetition suggests Trump is/was not himself fully engaged in what he's doing. It seems as though someone just handed him a speech and he just stood up and read it. Mind you, there's no one right way to get a speech composed and delivered, but all the right ways involve doing at least one "dry run" of the thing and making sure the damn thing doesn't have misspellings, grammatical errors and other tripping points in it. That's just how smart people go about things that are important; they don't leave it to chance.

Let's be clear. The reason the error is noteworthy is because Trump made it and he made it after having made attestations such as those noted above and he made the mistake he did in the setting where he made it.

I would bet that his IQ is twice what yours is, judging by your posts. People make mistakes sometimes. It's no big deal.

They do. Merely making the mistake is far less the issue. How it happened and was handled after it happened is what disconcerts me. And let's be clear. It is made all the more bothersome when considered in context, one aspect of which is that it was the POTUS who made it and it was the POTUS and his team who mishandled it. (See post 21.) Handled with aplomb, that Trump made the mistake wouldn't at all be something to talk about.

The document had the correct word, from what I've read. It was simply a mistake on his part. Shit happens. Try to excuse the fact that Trump is not perfect. Then again, you f*cking liberals would find fault even if he was perfect. It's called Trump derangement syndrome. Some people on here got it bad.

Remember when Obama said there were 57 states? I didn't see any liberals calling him on that one. Talk about DUMB.

 

[usmbguest5318]

I'm surprised that nobody has yet pointed this out...Given the race-related animus toward Trump, one'd have thought he and his team would have gone out of their way not to let happen anything that might be construed as a sign of Trump's insouciance toward minorities, most especially when delivering a speech to a room full of minority heads of state.

Can one make a race "thing" of the gaffe? Probably not much of one, if at all. One can say, however, that an unforced gaffe of the sort Trump made damn sure didn't help ameliorate his image among minorities.

I haven't seen anything indicating that. Would you point me to the document you read?

Watching the video, one must still ask how managed to make the same mistake twice if the paper from which he read correctly spelled Namibia. Perhaps Trump just needs new glasses/contact lens?

I'm not going to be drawn into a tu quoque line of discourse/debate because there is no arguing in such cases. The tu quoque line of defense is fallacious from the start; thus there is no point in trying to counter-argue it. Doing so is to just enter the "rabbit hole," as it were.

But 9 years later you are still talking about it... So are liberals allowed to talk about this for 6 or 7 years before it is old...

This is a typical double standard from the right... Trump misspoke, but while they went ape shit when Obama done it (and there is plenty of occasions), you said nothing this time...

We are showing your hypocrisy not ours...

He praised a country about their health system. Yet he has no clue about that country...does this guy do his homework before going up there?

Thank you!!!

Truly, there are several key things that the gaffe illustrates or suggests, and they really don't have much to do with any nation beyond the U.S:

• It's one more piece of evidence that we cannot rely on even the most basic promises/assertions Trump makes.
  • Trump said he'll hire the best people. Among those people are speechwriters, ostensibly "the best" ones. Did they do their homework, or even just proofread the document? Or run "spellcheck?" That speech and the luncheon at which it was delivered didn't "sneak up on" anybody. It was not an impromptu event or speech.
• That Trump twice in one read speech "mispronounced" Namibia, as is claimed, suggests the quality control process at the WH just isn't working.
  
• Trump has numerous times boasted that he is smart. Once again we see he is not.
  • Do smart people flub the name of a nation, while talking to the head of state of that nation at an event one is hosting, and not notice it, not apologize, not correct themselves, or immediately do/say something other than leave it to folks back in Washington to "atone" for one's error?
  • Screw, smart in a "book smart" way. How about just smart enough to be courteous?
  • The gaffe repetition suggests Trump is/was not himself fully engaged in what he's doing. It seems as though someone just handed him a speech and he just stood up and read it. Mind you, there's no one right way to get a speech composed and delivered, but all the right ways involve doing at least one "dry run" of the thing and making sure the damn thing doesn't have misspellings, grammatical errors and other tripping points in it. That's just how smart people go about things that are important; they don't leave it to chance.

Let's be clear. The reason the error is noteworthy is because Trump made it and he made it after having made attestations such as those noted above and he made the mistake he did in the setting where he made it.

Remember when Obama said there were 57 states? I didn't see any liberals calling him on that one. Talk about DUMB.

I'm not going to be drawn into a tu quoque line of discourse/debate because there is no arguing in such cases. The tu quoque line of defense is fallacious from the start; thus there is no point in trying to counter-argue it. Doing so is to just enter the "rabbit hole," as it were.

I asked a question. I would appreciate an answer. Did any liberals give Obama grief because he didn't even know how many states there are? I think not. And yet, here you are. verbally castrating Trump for a minor mistake. You people are such hypocrites. Trump has done more for this country in less than a year than obama did in eight years, yet you hate Trump. Why is that?

He knows how many states there are you moron.
