Shocker! The mainstream media didn't say a word about this piece of Trump brilliance

Think that would be the case if Biden had said it?

Donald Trump inexplicably asked the dumbest LA Olympic stadium question

Unless President Donald Trump is back to renaming long-established geographical regions, it sure seems like he either forgot where Los Angeles is, can't remember where the 2028 Summer Olympics are being held or has no clue that the World Cup is an entirely different event.

During his tour of the Middle East this week, Trump was seen in Abu Dhabi getting a look at a mock-up of the New York City Football Club's new stadium in Queens featuring the naming rights of Etihad — an airline based in UAE. While marveling at the graphics and mentioning how he grew up in Queens, Trump then bizarrely asked if the stadium would be ready for the 2028 Olympics...which are being held in Los Angeles.

Just as awkward is how everyone tried to respond to the question without correcting the president.

So really what we have here is a guy who doesn't know ball pretending like he does and an audience too afraid to tell him they know he doesn't know ball. On the other hand, Trump's team might want to make sure they booked the right travel accommodations for 2028. Those hotel rooms go quick.
