Might also explain his attitude towards Puerto Rico if he thinks the same there.

In a speech Friday, Trump said he'd recently "met with the president of the Virgin Islands" to discuss the recent hurricanes that have devastated Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico and the island.

But Trump could not have spoken to the "president of the Virgin Islands" because, of course, he is the president of the U.S. Virgin Islands, whose residents are U.S. citizens.

“I would not want to in any way involve the governor of the Virgin Islands in any national dispute in the media about what the president knows about the relationship between the United States and the U.S. Virgin Islands,” Sam Topp, deputy communications director for Governor Mapp, tells Newsweek.

"It doesn't serve our purpose to participate in the national hoopla over whether Donald Trump is making competent comments or not. Just look at the documents that govern the relationship [between the United States and the U.S. Virgin Islands], and you can determine how relevant or irrelevant, or advised or ill-advised, his comments were. There’s no president of the United States other than the president of the United States," Topp adds.

That ether, it burns slow.

You can tell that the comms director just wants to call Trump a moron, but is too polite to do so.

Well, we all talk to ourselves sometimes, right?

 

[CookTrain]

Do you think he wakes up early to plan what he's going to screw up that day, or it's natural talent?

 

[shnurgleton]

Well, he isn’t president of all the Virgin Islands

 

[fluffydelusions]

 

[JonnyDBrit]

...so Trump looked in a mirror, and failed to show self-awareness?

 

[Shadow Puppetry]

Well, we all talk to ourselves sometimes, right?

Of course

 

[Pandora012]

Maybe he meant the other virgin islands, but then the other Islands don't have a president either.

 

[kmax]

The man doesn't even know that he's president himself sometimes.

 

[Toxi]

How stupid can one man be?

 

[Occam]

You could fill many volumes with all the things Trump doesn't know.

Actually, it would be simpler to catalog only what he does know. It would be a relatively short list.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

We let a man like this become president and he doesn't even fully comprehend the scope what's he the president of.

I know it's been months but it seems every day there is some crazy reminder of what we have done.

Good god, this man is president!?

My favorite kind of high road.

 

[Az]

I need a collection of Trump threads from just today. What a Friday

 

[Shadow Puppetry]

Trump: HOLD MY BEER

 

[Camwi]

Good lord, that gif drives me crazy every time it pops up. He's such an enormous asshole.

 

[Steel]

Yeah, I did a double take when he said that live. I was like, wtf?

 

[Phu]

ffs it's right there in the name.

 

[Steejee]

For once I believe him - I'm sure he's talked to himself many times.

 

[Knuckle Sandwich]

I'm gonna fracture my oribtal bones with all these facepalms.

 

[kevin1025]

ffs it's right there in the name.

Trump, probably: "They're just trying to copy us, that's all. They want to be successful by adding U.S. on there.

...wait, they're actually part of us? Oh."

 

[Nokterian]

Biggest dementia idiot in the world..fucking hell..

 

[Bruce Springsteen]

Beyond parody at this point

 

[eot]

the fuck?

 

[GrapeApes]

That should be moron

 

[Trojita]

It's like he's some device by the Bush family to make George W. look much better in comparison.

 

[Shadow Puppetry]

Where's the edited that has him small?

 

[turmoil]

I can't believe this timeline

 

[PandaPandaPanda]

the fuck?

no explanation needed

he is a terrible person

 

[Strike]

 

[Slayven]

It's in the fucking name "US Virgin Islands"

 

[L Thammy]

i though u.s. was just part of the name
i didn't think it was that u.s.

 

[Bits N Pieces]

This is the best Trump related tweet I've seen in a while, you think you've heard it all but he somehow always manages to top himself, lol.

[Ctlead]

This guy is so damn dumb.

 

[Vicetrailia]

Funniest thing is if that was Obama they would all be gravitating around him. There's no need to stage like Trump must do.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

No trump
You are the presidents
And then trump was a zombie

 

[TheOfficeMut]

This shit always kills me

 

[L Thammy]

Where's the edited that has him small?

 

[curi0usBystander]

Every day i find more difficult to find words to express my disbelief. The fact that he doesn't know his own country is just sad.

Spoiler

It's in the fucking name.

 

[old manatee]

I would have loved to see that arm wrestle of a handshake.

 

[jimmypython]

I was going to say he probably was reading from the teleprompter and blame Stephen Miller.

Then I saw the video...yep it was off teleprompter LOL

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

America doesn't need any virgins. Weak!

 

[CloudWolf]

This honestly sounds like it could be a joke in a bad Adam Sandler movie

 

[parrotbeak]

Goddamn that quote from the deputy communications director. That's beautiful.

 

[The Kree]

I have to share my air and my country with this moron and his stupid supporters.

 

[Horns]

Our national embarrassment now reminding us multiple times a day that he is an national embarrassment.

 

[L Thammy]

I have to share my air and my country with this moron and his stupid supporters.

Simple solution. Build a wall around them, then cover it with a lid so it's airtight.

 

[PeskyToaster]

What a dotard
