Trump's Latest Gaffe: Confusing Brazil With India in Election Post

news18.com —

President Donald Trump confused Brazil with India in a Truth Social post about Brazil's presidential election, initially writing that 125 million people voted in India's election before correcting it to Brazil. The error is the latest in a long history of his verbal and geographical gaffes. The October 4 Brazilian election figure of around 125 million voters matched the corrected post. Trump's past slips include referring to Namibia as "Nambia" at the UN in 2017, pronouncing Nepal as "nipple" and Bhutan as "button" in 2017, and calling Belgium a "beautiful city" in 2016. Other notable mistakes include calling Iran the "Islamic Republic of Japan" and Zelenskyy "President Putin" at a July 2026 NATO summit, referring to Greenland as "Iceland" at Davos in January 2026, and mispronouncing 2 Corinthians as "Two Corinthians" in 2016.
