According to the US, Côte d'Ivoire (or Ivory Coast for those who don't understand) is a landlocked country.
it was made with OpenAI tools
No surprise coming from an anti science, anti education administration who believe their own propaganda on overestimating and anthropomorphizing ai tools
Probably something to do with employing every Trump sycophant they can find. No competence left.
Jesus fucking Christ, it's like they're TRYING to embarrass our entire nation from every single department possible. 10 years ago this would've amused me more than anything, even if only slightly. But now? Everyday is just another brand new stupid example of our own incompetence with somewhere around a 50/50 split between embarrassing and infuriating. I've never been a gung-ho, America-first, capital-P "Patriot", but I never would've even conceived that we would sink so low so quickly; every new rock-bottom simply becomes a new surface-layer to be strip-mined of any remaining shred of dignity, empathy, and humanity
Any other country would employ people with basic knowledge who would spot this at once. But Trump (with the help of Musk and a handful of fratboys) fired anyone like that. Knowledge, expertise and competence are a negative in their eyes. They want ignorant sycophants only.
Oh yes, the country called "Ivory Coast" is a land-locked nation...
I can't believe nobody caught at least that.
The lines don't even map to the legend properly, they have no excuses.
To be fair, it's in French on the map, and "CÔTE D'IVOIRE" isn't as obviously wrong if you don't know French.
I fully expected them to have put South Africa up north, but lucky for them they didn't try to include it.
I guess nobody in the room was familiar with French, or ever had the curiosity to wonder what CÔTE D'IVOIRE means.
I almost wish the AI threw in some fake countries.
Kalmiba.
Marwambo.
And they'd just happily talk about the happenings in those countries.
I’m surprised that they would have a language other than English included as the Trumpers appear to be focussed upon themselves which logically excludes other languages.
With this Administration do we know it wasn't purposeful? I can 100% imagine them all huddled around giggling to themselves as they read the map.
It’s a land coast!! Shut up, Commie!!
American's knowing nothing about the geography of the rest of the world? Say it ain't so
This is actually hilarious.

There's something else going on there. The shape of Nigeria looks correct, but it's rotated out of place.
Yeah, it's AI slop
It's really not though... it looks closer to some random, amorphous shape I'd draw up for a DnD one-off than an actual country. If I were asked to draw Nigeria from memory, that's probably pretty close to what I'd come up with, but just Google how it actually looks and you can see the differences immediately
Upon further inspection I agree with you. I was focused on that coastal body of water Nigeria has.

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
