From The Stupidity Appendix:
Trump:
Threatened to annex Greenland by force, because he didn’t understand the Mercator projection makes it look nearly as big as the continent of Africa. https://foreignpolicy.com/2025/02/14/trump-greenland-obsession-map-threats/
Threatened to annex Canada and make it “our cherished 51st state” for the same reason. https://time.com/7297490/trump-plan-to-annex-canada-51st-state-mark-carney/
Claimed China was negotiating trade agreements with Canada because the Chinese wanted to eliminate the Stanley Cup. “The first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup.” https://www.newsweek.com/trump-china-eliminate-stanley-cup-canada-rant-11493556
Blamed Canada for smoke from wildfires that crossed over the US border because they didn’t rake their forest floors. https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/5981743-trump-canada-wildfires-tariffs/ .
Has a long-standing obsession with the idea that raking forest floors is the key to avoiding forest fires. https://www.politico.com/states/california/story/2020/08/20/trump-blames-california-for-wildfires-tells-state-you-gotta-clean-your-floors-1311059
Ordered the Department of Interior to re-name Lake Ontario “Lake America,” as retaliation for Canada retaliating against his tariffs. This was in the wake of re-naming the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America. “We have a gulf, a lake . . .now all we need is an ocean. Maybe we’ll have to change the name of the Atlantic and the Pacific.” https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/trump-administration/trump-orders-lake-ontario-renamed-lake-america-canada-trade-war-rcna594750
Floated the idea of changing the name of the Strait of Hormuz to the Trump Strait. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/09/02/trump-hormuz-strait-ontario-iran.html
