Trump's Ignorance

In January talking about tariffs. Trump claimed that Spain was a member of BRICS.

“They’re a BRICS nation, Spain. Do you know what a BRICS nation is? You’ll figure it out.”

BRICS refers to a bloc of 10 developing economies, including Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.

Spain is in the EU and not a member of BRICS.

Trump has staff who know these things, but he doesn’t listen to them because he’s an idiot who thinks he’s a genius.
