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.

But perhaps the most shocking bit of ignorance was the huge number of people who started searching "WHAT is India" shortly after Trump departed.

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

Twitter tried to muster up some surprise over the news.


Hopefully people found the answers they were searching for online.


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


There are many disappointed teachers out there today.

Can't we try a little bit harder next time, America?

Ilhan Omar Claps Back Hard After Nancy Mace Tries To Insult Her With Bizarre Post Following Iran Attack

Minnesota Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar clapped back at South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace after Mace attempted to insult her and Michigan Democratic Representative Rashida Tlaib after President Donald Trump ordered an attack on various sites in Iran on Saturday morning that killed Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other top officials.

Omar and Tlaib were the first two Muslim women elected to Congress. Both have faced repeated attacks from members of the Republican Party tied to their religion, including being labeled part of the so-called “Jihad Squad,” a term suggesting they are sympathetic to extremism or seek to impose Islamist rule in the United States.

Pete Hegseth Ripped After Trying To Claim That The U.S. 'Didn't Start This War' With Iran

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was criticized after he claimed that the U.S. "didn't start this war" with Iran—just days after the Trump administration authorized an attack on various sites in Iran with the joint efforts of Israel over the weekend.

The war against Iran is already spreading beyond its initial battlefield. Iranian reprisals have struck Gulf states hosting U.S. bases—including Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia—while Hezbollah has entered the fight, firing rockets into Israel and ending a month-long ceasefire.

'SNL' Turns Trump Diss About U.S. Women's Olympic Hockey Team On Its Head With Sweet Monologue Moment

Connor Storrie’s debut Saturday Night Live monologue had just about everything: jokes, a childhood throwback, a few perfectly placed Heated Rivalry innuendos, and—because this is apparently the most athletic season in Studio 8H history—both the gold-winning players from the U.S. men’s and women’s Olympic hockey teams.

The appearance came just days after controversy over invitations to the White House and President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address, giving the night an edge that felt bigger than a typical celebrity-cameo parade.
