There's a coupla best buddies right there.
Sure seems likely they'd do everyone together.
Diddy the diddler as wel
There is nothing strange about old people forgeting things.
There is something absolutely heinous about people who rape children.
Stay focused.
He's, unfit to lead for two reasons. But the Republicans in my country support him for both reasons.
Pretty fucked up.
Ironic. The Daily Beast sidebar:
(The ocean he forgot was the Atlantic.)
Could have been either one, I suppose. Did he mean the Atlantic separating us from Europe or the Pacific separating us from Russia. As is always the case with his babbling, it's not entirely clear what he was trying to say.
I'd say the Arctic might be more fitting than the Pacific for separating the US from Russia... But then I know the names of the oceans.
he should have just called it the pond.. where he belongs at the bottom of (cause we all know he can't swim without floaties)
He was pretty imprecise with his language. He needed to be more Pacific.
It's an older meme, sir, but it checks out.
This leads me to think renaming the Gulf of Mexico was because he couldn't remember the real name and everyone in the room went along with it
"Ocean 11? Ocean 12? Ocean 13? Which is the one that's all women? I hated that one."
that's Charlie's Oceans 14
Trump, pedophile, forgot a fact a kindergartener would know
He's been too busy to knowledge-sync with the kindergartners lately 😤
let's be honest.. he can't count to 7
Ummm Indian ocean? There's no India there. French Ocean? That's not right. Let's call it American Ocean!
stable beyond belief
Don't all oceans except maybe Indian touch the US or one of its territories? They're all Ocean of America now.
Trump 79, dies…
The headline I look for every day.
Same, I’m not a drinker but the day this happens I’m gonna get shit faced.
I will get drunk and high while pretending I am Ricky from Trailer Park Boys.
That sounds like a fun time, just don't mess up your brain compartments and departments.
naw.. I keep everything neatly bottled up in my modelo ablongata
I wish
Release the Trump/Epstein files
The Gulf of Dementia?
Waiting for Google to bend over and rename the ocean to appease the diaper dictator.
It is a "big beautiful" ocean.
The One Big Beautiful Obituary is coming.
Wandering around. Forgetting things. Now he's talking about getting into heaven.
Embarrassing of him.
Its not the calm one or the dark one or the bloody one. Its not America's golf of the brown Canada. Its not the one between Japan and China or the one by the Philippines or the one that sounds like it has its own mythology movie about fish guy. I don't know?!
is this a joke? what is it based on? there's no way he forgot the name of the ocean.
I'm certain he didn't know it in the first place.
Why do we think it was only the one though?
You can't forget what you never knew in the first place.
Do you know how many damn fucking oceans there are? Did you know the earth is mostly water? Why would he memorize every oceans name? He's not a fucking cartographer!
