Trump Says He Knows South Korea Better than Anyone — Then States Seoul Has 38 Million People (It Has 9 Million)

Well, another day, another Trump covid-19 rally in the books.

This one was just as crazy as the others, with Trump yelling at reporters and lying constantly.

At one point he was asked by PBS’s Yamiche Alcindor when the US would catch up with South Korea with testing. Trump then said he knows South Korea better than anyone.

“Do you know how many people there are in Seoul? 38 million,” Trump said, emphasizing that people are “packed in there”.

In fact, the population of Seoul is 9.7m. It is unclear where Trump got his figure.
