Less than a week after the former US president confused Hungary and Turkey by calling Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán the head of Turkey, Trump completely confused Hungary’s borders.
“Has anyone ever heard of Viktor Orbán?” He is the leader of Hungary. Hungary borders both Ukraine and Russia,” Trump said at a rally in Sioux City, Iowa, on Sunday.
Although this time D. Trump assigned the leader to the right country, Hungary is not limited to Russia. The nearest point of the countries is separated by about 1,000 kilometers.
It wasn’t the first time Trump suggested Hungary borders Russia, as he made the same mistake at a rally in New Hampshire last week.
The “love story” between D. Trump and V. Orban is not new, but recently, with V. Orban isolated in the European arena, this relationship has blossomed even more, according to Politico.
On Sunday, Trump called Orbán a “very powerful player” and a “very tough guy” and praised the Hungarian leader for not letting migrants into his country.
In turn, V. Orban supported the campaign of D. Trump, even wearing the Republican candidate’s trademarked paraphernalia online.
Despite their friendship, Trump seems to have a hard time knowing exactly where Hungary is. However, V. Orban should not take it personally – D. Trump’s geographical mistakes are not limited to Hungary. Trump thanked the people of Sioux Falls when he took the stage Sunday. Only he was not in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, but in Sioux City, Iowa.
