Kristi Noem was asked on Newsmax who America's best friend is in South America and answered with El Salvador and Costa Rica, which is a problem because maps exist.
Noem did not merely miss a trivia question at a bar. She is a former Homeland Security secretary and Trump's special envoy for "Shield of the Americas," a title that sounds like it should come with at least one laminated map. Online critics noticed immediately, because El Salvador and Costa Rica are in Central America, not South America. Luckily, Animaniacs solved this in 1993 with Yakko Warner and a song.
Yakko Warner remains overqualified for the Trump administration.
