Hillary Clinton trolls Donald Trump on his geographical skills
'A message from your possible next president on geography'
Donald Trump is not famed for his geographical knowledge. From using footage from the Moroccan border in a TV advert promoting the wall he plans to build on the Mexican border to most recently calling Belgium a city, geography is not the presumptive presidential Republican nominee’s strongest suit.
As such, Hillary Clinton has jumped on his latest geographical blunder after Mr Trump declared: “Belgium is a beautiful city”, during a rally in Atlanta, Georgia on Wednesday.
Ms Clinton has responded by sharing a video on Twitter titled, “A message from your possible next president on: geography”. The caption reads, "Belgium: Donald Trump's favourite 'city.'"

Show all 8This isn’t the first time Mr Trump has made his views about the country of Belgium known. Rather than calling Belgium a "beautiful city", in January he instead said Brussels had become a “hellhole”.
“You go to Brussels - I was in Brussels a long time ago, 20 years ago, so beautiful, everything is so beautiful - it’s like living in a hellhole right now,” he said in a TV interview with FOX Business Network.
Representatives for Mr Trump and Ms Clinton did not immediately respond to request for comment.
