There is no Russian city called Leningrad anymore, but apparently no one bothered to tell Donald Trump.

      Fair, but I mostly meant people who really experienced and remembered it. Aged around 50+ (like Trump).

      So forgetting that… Not a big deal. Remembering its old name first… OK, not remembering the current name after the old one - weird. And, finally, doing that constantly in many occasions, sign of mental problems.

        I just asked my over 60 year old mother where Leningrad was and she had no idea. I told her it was St. Petersburg…so, just a single data point. But, it ain’t as ubiquitous as all you old farts seem to think it is :P
