With President Trump visiting India, Google Trends have revealed a common question is on a lot of American's minds:

"What is India?"

Searches for this heartbreakingly dumb question spiked pretty noticeably as Trump took his trip to the south-Asian country, along with the slightly more understandable:

"Where is India?"

Google keeps track of search rates and releases them at Google Trends, revealing a pretty clear spike in "Where is India?" as Trump made his visit.

The charts also make clear that New Jersey had the most confusion on the issue.

And, sadly, New Jersey was once again at the top of list.

Twitter tried to muster up some surprise over the news.

America is, shockingly, not the only country in our giant world.
