On Friday, the president mentioned a 'friend' who was unaware that there are more than 184 countries in the world

Photo: Anna Moneymaker/The New York Times/Pool/Getty Images In his remarks to reporters today, before preposterously asserting that his proposals for wild new coronavirus treatments were an elaborate deadpan practical joke on the media, President Trump revealed a conversation with an unidentified friend.

Trump is graciously preserving the identity of this sophisticated friend, no doubt to spare him embarrassment. However, a little bit of sleuthing can help us suss out his identity. One clue can be found in Trump’s March 29 coronavirus briefing, when he had a short riff on the surprisingly large number of countries here on Earth:

It’s up to 151 countries, so when we say our nation, our nation and the world, when you think. Think of it, 151 countries. Somebody said to me today that wasn’t in this particular world, they didn’t know that we had that many countries. 151 countries, that’s something. Another clue is that, on a 2017 visit to Japan, Trump regaled his audience with the experience of contacting foreign leaders after his election, saying, “I never knew there were so many countries.”

I never knew *you* had 184 countries? Where's this friend from? Mars?

1401bonniek That friend, John Barron.....

OMG he is the most ignorant human being in the country. But it explains America first. He can probably only name 5 countries and they are all ones with trump’s resorts.

Talk about a misleading headline. There is literally no bottom to the shameful reporting

The friend's name is John Barron.

'You' had 184 countries? Finally - PROOF that trump is not an Earthling.

'A friend of mine -- a very sophisticated friend -- said, 'I never knew you had 184 countries.'' *you* had? Where's this friend from? Ork? Zetox?
