Mexico #16 http://statisticstimes.com/economy/countries-by-projected-gdp.php

But that doesn't take into account population. Mexico may be a wealthier country than Switzerland based on total GDP but do you think that has anything to do wealth on a per capita basis? On that same list, India is #6. So I guess the economic prospects for citizens of India are better than for those of, say , Canada.

I'd say that even less than astute observers pretty much had his number long before that little jab.

When Trump Aides Admit He Has No Idea What He’s Talking About

 

"On Tuesday, the New York Times reported that President Trump didn’t appear to grasp the policy specifics of DACA, the executive order his administration was about to unravel: "

 

"As late as one hour before the decision was to be announced, administration officials privately expressed concern that Mr. Trump might not fully grasp the details of the steps he was about to take, and when he discovered their full impact, would change his mind, according to a person familiar with their thinking who spoke on condition of anonymity without authorization to comment on it."

 

"Anonymous aides have been warning us for months that Trump is incurious on matters of policy and process to the point that he makes George W. Bush look like Adlai Stevenson."

Chinese 'chuckle at Trump for messing up picture-perfect America': State media

 

"President Donald Trump received a cheeky editorial from China's state-run press over his decision to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals order — the so-called "Dreamers" program."

 

"In the eyes of some Chinese, Trump has made a big mess in America, and the decision to kill the program is just further evidence that the American Dream is quickly becoming the American Pipe Dream," the Communist Party's official newspaper said.

 

"Meanwhile, some Chinese are just enjoying the political thriller, given all the chaos he creates at home,

it is almost like Trump was sent to destroy America from within," the editorial said."

I take issue with the word "almost"
