This is a chronology error roughly on the scale of saying Instagram Stories are older than the Roman Republic.

Hey, it’s not really fair to expect President Trump to know that sort of thing. I mean, he’s a moron. How many morons would know this? Or that some cultures never even came up with the wheel?
