'Source? I made it up': RFK Jr. scorched for 'nonsense' claim about Trump drawing a map

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s claims about President Donald Trump's knowledge of geography met a dubious response.

The Department of Health and Human Services secretary spoke Saturday at the Conservative Political Action Conference, where he was met with a rousing cheer from the Republican crowd and made some eyebrow-raising claims about the 79-year-old president and his knowledge of the Middle East.

"One time, he grabbed a placemat, turned it over, took a Sharpie, and drew a perfect map of the Middle East," Kennedy claimed. "Then he marked the troop strength of every country along each border on that map. It challenged a lot of the assumptions I had been told about him."

Social media users weren't buying it.

"Source?" posted California Gov. Gavin Newsom's account, using a meme. "I made it up."

"In the history of things that never happened, nothing has ever happened less," doubted Neil Renic, a lecturer on peace and conflict studies.

"I'm not sure Trump could draw a map of his immediate surroundings," opined attorney Jesse Taylor.

"One time, Trump had a map of the United States that showed the path of a hurricane according to every professional meteorologist on earth and Trump pulled out a Sharpie and drew a different hurricane path," recalled Bluesky user G8erlaw68. "Trump's ability to control the path of hurricanes with a Sharpie challenged my assumptions."

"I miss shame," signed journalist Helen Kennedy.

"Trump couldn't draw a perfect map of the Middle East if he was tracing the kiddy place mat at the Cairo Denny's," groaned Bluesky user ellemm.

"Goodness gracious. Who believes this nonsense?" marveled X user Steven Hays. "I doubt Trump could draw a map of Mar-a-Lago."

"Funny story, but Trump has already told us that he does not draw," noted X user jp. "Especially images of naked women, with weird birthday verses written on them."

"Oh my god he’s describing Trump doing a connect-the-dots on a kids menu placemat isn’t he," gasped Bluesky user The Volatile Mermaid.

"Performative lying -- lying that no one can really believe, but the suckers pretend to -- is a hallmark of criminal organizations and fascist regimes," noted writer Roy Edroso.
