    1. When Melania had to remind him to put his hand on his heart for the national anthem.
    2. When he forgot which country he was bombing.
    3. When he forgot Paul Ryan’s name. Twice.
    4. When he confused Kim Jong-Il and Kim Jong-Un.
    5. All the times he's asked a crowd if they were aware of widely-known facts.
    6. When he quoted an Irish proverb that is actually Nigerian.

    Donald Trump makes a lot of goofs. Yes, he’s seriously mistaken on nearly every aspect of foreign and domestic policy -- all the big, scary and dangerous stuff -- but he also just gets the little things wrong, too. He frequently sends out misspelled tweets. He makes off-the-cuff statements with colleagues that are meant to be self-aggrandizing but instead unintentionally drive home how much he doesn’t know about how things work. He thinks this is how you shake hands, unless he’s in the room with Angela Merkel, in which case he goes into girl-cooties avoidance mode. He’s just kind of a disaster, a butterfingers, a foot-in-mouth gaffetastic flub-machine that doesn’t know much and can’t be bothered to learn. He’s also a raging hypocrite, which makes the whole show even more irritating to watch.

    There’ve been a lot of examples of these public screw ups, the most minor are kind of funny. I mean, if you can stave off the tears from recognizing this guy is calling the shots for the next four years. Here are 6 times Donald Trump goofed up the simple stuff.

    The other day he congratulated a veteran for receiving a Purple Heart.

    A few of BHO's boners -

    "Cinco de Quattro,"

    "Navy Corpseman"

    "Countries like Europe."

    Oh there are more Obamisms.

    In Austria they speak "Austrian"

    "The US liberated Auschwitz and Treblinka"

    BHO was born 4 years before the Selma march, yet claimed he was born as a result of that march?

    Is that a record for the fewest of any president?

    No, it's the record for number of flubs in only 90 days.

    I doubt it. But maybe you could offer some proof. You seem to be so sure.

    There are more Trump gaffes also. The six listed are simply representative samples of his ignorance. Also, they are little mistakes, not the huge ones he has made. The man is a walking disaster. Obama is history. Trump is current and we are going to have to live with his mistake-driven administration for 3 3/4 years.

    Yup. The standard he holds for himself is a lot different than the one he holds for everyone else.

    Things Trump has said since President that are false:

    Biggest Inauguration crowd in history
    Biggest electoral college victory since Reagan
    Won the popular vote
    Up to three million illegal votes were cast for Hillary
    The murder rate is the highest it's been in 45 years.
    Filling his cabinet has been delayed by Democrats, the longest delay in history.
    Said terrorist attacks are not being reported.
    Said he was in Scotland the day before the Brexit vote.
    Said Mexico's president agreed to cancel a meeting.
    Said two people were killed in Chicago while Obama was making a speech there on January 10th.

    All of these occurred in January.

    If you consider a false statement a "gaffe", he's got a long way to go to catch at least one former president.

    It appears you have changed the standard and have offered no proof, by any standard.

    Today's goof up.

    Said that when he appeared on Face the Nation recently it garnered the highest ratings for that show since the "World Trade Center came down".

    The standard is most flubs in 90 days. It was stated just upstream this thread. You can read, right?

    Trump wins.

    So you consider a false statement a "flub".

    OK . No problem. You still have offered no proof Trump has set a record for his first 90 days, compared to other presidents.

    Your insult means absolutely nothing, except you're trying to establish cover for your own apparently false statement.

    Where's the proof he's the record setter?

    So you're saying he's lying. Well, I don't think Trump would admit to lying, so yes, these are mistakes on his part.

    In my memory. No other president has made so many mistakes, errors, goof-ups, or embarrassing statements that I can remember in such a short period of time. Feel free to prove me wrong.

    In your memory? Now we know the standard you are using.

    But that's hardly hardly proof for such a strong declarative statement, meaning simply that you can't prove your statement.

    Since no proof is required for such statements. I'll disagree. Trump hasn't come even close to setting a record for "flubs" in 90 days, not even for his first 90 days.
