Morning Joe Roasts Trump Confusing ‘Alaska’ And ‘Afghanistan’ In Rally Speech Intended to Show Off His Military Expertise

MSNBC’s Morning Joe crew mocked former President Donald Trump for mistakenly conflating an Alaskan wildlife refuge with a military base in Afghanistan while trying to show off his military expertise during a town hall in Michigan on Tuesday.
At the event, moderated by Arkansas governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Trump was discussing his energy policies when he confused the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) in Alaska, which he had opened for oil and gas development during his presidency, with the Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan.
Trump told attendees: “We have Bagram in Alaska. They say it might be as big, might be bigger than all of Saudi Arabia. I got it approved. Ronald Reagan couldn’t do it. Nobody could do it. I got it done.”
While he appeared to recognize his mistake, his attempted clarification did little to dispel the confusion. “Check that one out, Bagram. It’s—no, think about this: Between Bagram, between—you go to ANWR, you take a look at the kind of things that we’ve given up. We should have that air base. We should have that oil.”
