The day after he danced to "YMCA" at an October 7th remembrance event that he made all about himself, Donald Trump was doubling down on his false claim that he's visited Gaza despite there being no record of him ever traveling there.
Trump displayed his profound lack of world geography during an interview with conservative talk show host Hugh Hewitt, claiming he had once been to war-torn Palestinian territory where more than 41,000 people have been killed by Hamas in the last year.
Asked by Hewitt if Gaza could be like the royal principality of Monaco, Trump displayed his trademark lack of knowledge with his nonsensical reply.
“It could be better than Monaco. It has the best location in the Middle East, the best water, the best everything. It’s got, it is the best, I’ve said it for years," Trump said. “I’ve been there, and it’s rough. It’s a rough place … before all of the attacks and before the back and forth what’s happened over the last couple of years.”
Trump's claims have already been fact-checked as false by CNN's Daniel Dale.
Trump was also taking heat on Twitter after photos from the October 7th ceremony he attended began circulating online. In one, Trump is seen grinning at the camera while holding a photo of a kidnapped man.
In another, he's giving his trademark thumbs up along with the grin.
The video of him dancing during an event marking the slaughter of thousands at a music festival is downright ghoulish.
In his remarks, Trump couldn't stay on the day's somber topic, as usual.
