During a recent speech in Ashburn, Virginia, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump appeared to forget where he was, as he said, "You're doing lousy over here, by the way, I hate to tell you. Anybody used to work for Smithfield? ... Stanley Furniture closed its plant..."
Actually, Ashburn is located in Loudon County, which is the wealthiest county in the country. Not only that, Smithfield is located in Hampton Roads, which is approximately three hours from Ashburn. If that wasn't enough, Stanley Furniture is located in North Carolina.
Given Trump's seeming lack of awareness when it comes to geography, expect him to utter these lines at the following locations at some point during his campaign:
Location: Detroit, Michigan
Trump: "So this was where country music got started, eh? I like me some country, especially Johnny Money, Billy Cyrus the Virus, and Garth Algar. Good stuff right there!"
Location: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Trump: "This is where it all happened. Am I right? Pittsburgh - the city of brotherly love, the liberty bell, that crazy green mascot. But for as awesome as this city is, you're still going through some hard times. Did you hear about that plant in Seattle? Not good, people, not good at all."
Location: Omaha, Nebraska
Trump: "I've gotta tell you all something - I've never seen more desert and sand than I've seen right here in Nebraska. The cactuses are beautiful, but your chicken here is great. I mean, amazing, simply amazing cows. Fantastic."
Location: Portland, Oregon
Trump: "I know I don't have to tell you people this, but we have a serious problem here, I mean like bigly serious - the Mexicans crossing the border. That's why I promise to build a wall between Oregon and Mexico and make Mexico pay for it! It's gonna happen folks. It's gonna happen."
Location: Louisville, Kentucky
Trump: "Do you know how I got here today? I took the yellow brick road, with Dorothy, Dodo, and all those other things. Who else here has gone down the yellow brick road? Nobody?!? Wow, you don't get around much, do you? Well, anyway, do we have any Jayhawk fans in the crowd tonight? No? Where the hell am I?"
