Trump Confuses Brazil's Election with India's in Social Media Post Criticizing US Voting
US President Donald Trump mistakenly referred to Brazil's presidential election as India's in a social media post criticizing the US vote-counting process. He cited 125 million voters and rapid results, figures matching Brazil's election held on October 4, not India's indirect presidential election. Trump later corrected the error. The mix-up drew widespread attention and was noted as part of a series of Trump's past verbal and geographical gaffes, sparking reactions on social media.
