Iraq or Syria? Trump recalls dessert perfectly, forgets who he bombed & internet erupts (VIDEO)
US President Donald Trump revealed he informed Chinese Premier Xi Jinping about the US air strike on a Syrian military base as the pair ate "the most beautiful" chocolate cake. He then mixed up Syria and Iraq – and the internet had a meltdown.
Trump was speaking with Fox Business about the bizarre exchange with Chinese leader during a summit at his Mar-a-Lago estate.
“We had finished dinner, we’re now having dessert,” Trump began. “And we had the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake that you’ve ever seen and President Xi was enjoying it.”
“We’ve just fired 59 missiles, all of which hit by the way, unbelievable, from hundreds of miles away, it’s brilliant, it’s genius, what we have in terms of technology no-one can come close to competing,” he continued.
“So I said, we’ve just launched 59 missiles, heading to Iraq,” said the President, seemingly oblivious to his mistake.
“Heading to Syria,” host Maria Bartiromo interjected. “Yes,” Trump replied, “heading toward Syria.”
Naturally, Twitter was set alight by the gaffe.
Disturbing that Trump remembers what he ate (chocolate cake) - but not where he sent missiles (Syria, not Iraq as he says until corrected) twitter.com/kylegriffin1/s…
Trump: President Xi, I just want you to know I just fired 59 cruise missiles at [Iraq] Syria. #RussiaGate #Cake
Trump: Over dessert “I said we’ve just launched 59 missiles heading to Iraq”
Maria: “Headed to Syria”
Trump: “Yes” pic.twitter.com/CTKtXBl9nI
Many rushed to troll Trump over the embarrassing flub, branding it “disturbing.”
