I mean, when you're running for president you should probably double check, but... you know, he's done far worse today.

So uh.. without alt text I can't honestly tell the difference. I wonder if it's cause my blue light filter is on, or they are just that similar?

Nope, they're nearly identical. The yellow and blue are ever so slightly different, but... yeah, the bad part about that tweet wasn't the flags.

The flags were the funny part, though.

Maybe he is declaring himself president of Chad because he lost in Romania
