I'll wait, or you can say you're wrong, after doing a little research and find out what he really said....
In his address to the 1988 Republican National Convention, Ronald Reagan introduced a section of his speech with the words:

Before we came to Washington, Americans had just suffered the two worst back-to-back years of inflation in 60 years. Those are the facts, and as John Adams said, ‘Facts are stubborn things.’

This paragraph, and the following four paragraphs, finished with Adams’s words. However, at the end of the third paragraph, Reagan made a verbal slip, which he immediately corrected. A transcript of the speech reads,

‘Facts are stupid things – stubborn things, should I say. [Laughter].’

Nope. We’ve got it from someone close that he is an “Fing moron”.

Well actually, sometimes people do say the U.S. Virgin Islands to distinguish from the British Virgin Islands. At this time, it is good to distinguish because both were affected by Irma and Maria.

I do agree that many people don't know that we are part of the U.S.

Such people obviously weren't paying attention when that was taught in school, or by family members, and obviously Trump wasn't paying enough attention at that age either.

Yes. Apparently there is ignorance on both sides of this controversy. No surprise there.

He met with his alter ego.
