'Donald Trump couldn't find Ukraine on a map if you had the letter 'U' and a picture of an actual physical crane next to it,' one CNN guest said

The viral moment came as Lemon was interviewing a panel about Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s

at NPR’s Mary Louise Kelly in which he challenged her to find Ukraine on a map after he reportedly said, “Do you think Americans care about Ukraine?”columnist Wajahat Ali, cracked themselves up with jokes about hypothetical Trump supporters after Wilson asserted that the president himself wouldn’t be able to find Ukraine on a map.

Wilson said that Pompeo “also knows deep within his heart that Donald Trump couldn’t find Ukraine on a map if you had the letter ‘U’ and a picture of an actual physical crane next to it.” The quip caused Lemon to begin laughing as Wilson said Pompeo’s anger was, in part, a strategy to appeal to the “credulous boomer rube demo that backs Donald Trump.”

Ali joined in as he and Wilson imitated these Trump supporters, angry about “you elitists with your geography and your maps.”

The best backlash he’ll get will be the election results in November. MAGA

It’s hard to be upset at this when I’ve seen so much evidence of trump insulting, bullying, and mocking people. Aren’t there popular trump supporter tshirts that say ‘screw your feelings’ and ‘hurting your feelings isn’t a crime?’ But gop is allowed to get all butt hurt?

It was hilarious and on point!

More or less backlash than trump drew by mocking a disabled person? Curious.

But it's OK for him to do this? What a fool.

I laughed. A lot.

It was Hilarious 🤣

I thought Don and his guests were great... Trumpty Dumpty can dish it out, but, can't take it. 🤣🤣🤣

❄️ ❄️ ❄️ I’ll be delicate in case you can’t handle the truth....Our president is Donald J Trump. ❄️ ❄️ ❄️ realDonaldTrump

Dear goodness...you would need to lack any sense of humor not to laugh at that clip. Trump continually makes jokes about other people. But when truth is spoken in a humorous manner he loses his mind. Come on Donnie, grow a pair.

“Pauses“? It was a segment. And you know it. PlayTheTape

Omg. So funny and So true.

Biggest group of snowflakes....🤣🤣🤣

His supporters are “jokes”

It was freaking hilarious. MAGAs are such snowflakes.

He can dish it, but he can’t take it. Wow. Not condoning donlemon behavior but let’s be real here people...Trumps tweets can get REAL nasty and he has the nerve to try to have something to say when someone does it to him.

Not a good idea to mock half the country when your ratings are in the tank but donlemon can’t hide his distain.

Republicans in Trump impeachment trial on the spot over Bolton book reportDemocratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said that revelations from John Bolton's unpublished book has ‘erased’ any justification not to call witnesses in the impeachment trial against President Donald Trump Worst Jew in America ? So let's say Hunter Biden 'shot someone on 5th avenue'. If he did, he should be investigated & face accountability like anyone else. This would give zero right for a POTUS to break the law by extorting military aid to a foreign ally for an investigation our own DOJ could've done. Uh huh
