President Donald Trump has mistakenly said the US sold Norway fighter jets that exist only in a video game.

He said that "F-52s", a fictional warplane from Call of Duty, had been exported to the Scandinavian country.

The slip of the tongue came as he hosted Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg at the White House.

Lockheed Martin, the defence contractor that makes the actual aircraft sent to Norway, said it did not have an F-52 programme, reports the Washington Post.

Liberals are having a field day with this one.

[EandH Dad]

Well, it took them forever to admit the SR 71 existed so he has that going for him.

[no-to-illegals]

Winning ... Finally Americans have a president living rent free in liberals’ heads !!!

[House Atreides]

They might have been OK with it if he spoke it in Austrian instead of English.

And for 8 years, obama was unable to complete a sentence without a teleprompter and had numerous gaffes, mispronouncing common words like, corpsman.

Because I’m pretty sure the President of the United States is an avid player of, Call of Duty.

I thought we built those in all 57 states. /s

[Textide]

If only he dutifully read from a teleprompter written by handlers the way Obama did....he’d avoid these detail errors and be considered a genius. (*cough* corpse-men)

The F-52 was in fact built in some of Obamas 57 states he visited.

[pepsionice]

He meant the F-35 sales.

"Lockheed Martin, the defence contractor that makes the actual aircraft sent to Norway, said it did not have an F-52 "

I'm not $urpri$ed.

Must be Oslo news day.

[Lazamataz]

We DO sell F-52's.

But only to shitholes.

“First you take a B-52. Take off the eight engines. Put one big engine under each wing.

Voila—a F-52.

Norway will never know the difference.”

[ilovesarah2012]

That made me LOL.

[backwoods-engineer]

Obama’s list of verbal slips is long and infamous: “57 states”, “CORPSE-man”, “inhalator”, etc, etc. Yet the media gave him a PASS.

[Redleg Duke]

It is real...and it is manufactured in all 57 of Obama’s states!

[Calvin Locke]

Well, it took them forever to admit the SR 71 ...

First, the CIA had A-12, then the next iteration was to be the RS-71.

LBJ transposed the RS/SR, and the suck-ups, er, abusees, rather than correcting that nasty POS, changed the designation to SR.

President Trump - The first president to ever make a gaffe or misstate a fact!

/s

[JohnyBoy]

Trump reversed a couple of words. It was 52 F35s, instead, he said 35 F52s.

[NorthMountain]

The Brits had an F52:
