Just hours after being sworn in Monday, a reporter asked Trump about his demand that NATO member states spend at least five percent of their GDP on defense, citing Spain’s defense spending level.
The president responded completely incorrectly.
"Spain is very low. And yet, are they a BRICS nation?” Trump asked.
“What?” the reporter replied.
“They’re a BRICS nation, Spain. You know what a BRICS nation is? You’ll figure it out,”
Trump said, managing to be both snide and wrong
The ‘S’ in BRICS does not stand for Spain at all.
The countries in BRICS are Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, and new member states Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, UAE, and Iran.
No state in the entire European Union is a member of BRICS.
Here’s hoping that the president of the United States will eventually “figure it out.”

@kcoyle @jessamyn You can't, in the US, though it doesn't stop people from claiming copyright on verbatim reproductions of public domain work.
In the UK it's a little muddier, but still just as gross.
Only creative work attracts a new copyright. Making a faithful duplication that by design does as little interpretation as possible does not give rise to a new copyright.
