One mistake?

Obama misspoke a LOT, so did every other president, things aren’t getting worse, our information is getting better. Let’s wait for a Dem president (or even the next administration) to get a twitter account, maybe the next one gets an instagram, snap-chat, tik tok, whatever and gives everyone a better view of how many gaffs they make, hell; look how the MSM basically ignores the dumb shit Biden says, you think they didn’t do that for Obama? The only reason people caught this tweet is because a ton of people hate follow Trump’s twitter account.
this isn’t even news worthy, let alone thread worthy, “Boomer gets confused, welcome to our 24hr coverage”
POTUS being wrong on geography is not news worthy, I agree, but the white-knighting actions of MAGAstan is newsworthy. And some of the responses to this thread more than proved that with Trump, it is a cult of personality populated by pseudo-rationalists who invoke "truth" and "facts" only when convenient, and distort it when the threat of being fucking wrong looms.
--Example of convenient truth: Trans people. Trumpists will say, "Dick, no dick, you were born a man. You are a man. Male. Facts, logic, /thread."
--Example of moving the goal posts: Hurricane Dorian. Most up to date, accurate, scientific projections leave Alabama out of the path. Trump announces that Alabama is in the path. The NWS, the service that does, ya know, weather shit, employing folks with PhDs in weather shit, says, no, AL not in the path, POTUS is incorrect. Trump cannot be wrong, then:
