Less than a week after the former U.S. president confused Hungary and Turkey — calling Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán the leader of Turkey — Trump got Hungary’s borders all wrong.

“Did anybody ever hear of Viktor Orbán? He’s the head of Hungary. Hungary fronts on both Ukraine and Russia,” Trump said on Sunday during a rally in Sioux City, Iowa.

While this time Trump did match the leader to the correct country, Hungary does not border Russia. The countries are about 1,000 kilometers apart at their closest point.

    He greeted Sioux City by saying Sioux Falls. He was corrected . If you listen to his speeches you can tell where he goes off script and talks about whatever bullshit happened to him recently. He went after low flow toilets having to be flushed several times in 2016. Everyone assumed he clogged the toilet earlier in the day. The crowds die down until he comes back with his biggest hits: xenophobia, homophobia, and those baby killing, blood sucking liberals.

      I’m sure the low flow toilets thing was written for him. Cheap low flow toilets have problems flushing. Mid-range and high end ones - i.e. any his ass has actually touched - flush just fine.

      That’s why you never go for the cheap option when toilet shopping. It’s not worth it.
