The president of the United States indicated he accidentally forgot where the state of Colorado was during his speech to an energy conference of fracking companies Wednesday.

Trump told the audience he was building a “wall” in Colorado, which is the state just north of New Mexico. If Trump was referring to his U.S.-Mexico border wall, it’s the southern New Mexico border on which he intends to build the wall.

It prompted many to wonder if the president whipped out his fact-changing Sharpie yet again.

While others wondered if Trump had decided to sell New Mexico back to Mexico.

The crowd reportedly laughed at the president, not with him.

“A POTUS riff on his promise to build a border wall—in which he ticked off the list of states the wall would touch, including, incorrectly, Colorado—drew laughs from more than a few of the conference attendees. Several shook their heads…” from pooler @MichaelCBender. — Josh Dawsey (@jdawsey1) October 23, 2019

Even MSNBC host Rachel Maddow couldn’t help but chuckle at the geography flub.
