In his post on Sunday (October 4, 2026), Trump wrote that "125 million people voted in India’s presidential election today" and praised the speed of the election commission, before comparing it to delayed vote counting in US cities such as Detroit, Philadelphia, and California. The post contained two major factual errors: first, the election was taking place in Brazil, not India; second, India operates under a parliamentary system where the president is elected indirectly via an electoral college using proportional representation, rather than through a direct popular vote. The blunder coincided with the first round of Brazil’s presidential election on Sunday, where right-wing Senator Flávio Bolsonaro—son of former President Jair Bolsonaro—secured 47 percent of the vote against incumbent left-wing President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s 45 percent, sending the contest to a October 25 runoff. Netizens swiftly lampooned the mix-up, reminding commentators of Trump’s previous geographical slips, including referring to Iran as the "Islamic Republic of Japan" during the July NATO summit and repeatedly confusing Greenland with Iceland at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
