(both water and countries). Unfortunately that is probably true of most Americans today. But at least if shown several maps of the region, including the Strait of Hormuz, I do think they would "get it."

Trump has always been an ignorant, arrogant man who could not be bothered to try to learn. That said, I do believe he has had a lifelong difficulty with reading and comprehension. That which he accused Governor Newsom, most likely applies to him. But, now he has lost his filter with advancing dementia, so his delusions guide his actions. He is a seriously dangerous man and sadly, I'm not sure many of us will live to see things turn around. The latter will take decades, if that.

He wouldn't be able to A) find it on a map or B) tell you its significance. If he saw the movie, he still wouldn't know..

They’ve been retiring them left and right. Do they still even have any?

Provided he sees it. I could see him getting so worked up over it that bulging vein in his brain goes “pop!”

Bye bye.

And yes, it would leave a mess like we’ve never seen before.
