Hosts of MSNBC's Morning Joe burst into laughter early Wednesday morning after replaying a video of Donald Trump "confusing Alaska and Afghanistan."
Trump made the apparent gaffe at a town hall in Flint, Michigan, Tuesday.
"We were energy independent, we were soon going to be energy dominant, and we would've been now having so much money coming out of the energy," Trump said. "We have Bagram in Alaska. They say it might be as big, might be bigger than, all of Saudi Arabia. I got it approved. Ronald Reagan couldn't do it. Nobody could do it. I got it done."

Trump was mocked online for confusing the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) in Alaska, for the Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan. MSNBC hosts doubled down the following day.
"Check it," Joe Scarborough said to laughter. "Go to your Google machine: Bagram, Alaska. I hear there is some of the best moose hunting in all of the world in Bagram."
Mika Brzezinski said, "Imagine if Joe Biden" had made that mistake.
"I think he may have confused Alaska and Afghanistan," Scarborough added.
"Morning Joe" co-host Willie Geist added, "Not a slip of the tongue either. He said it five or six times and then closed it with check it, Google it, find it, look it up, take it to the bank."
"One thing he is right about, though. Ronald Reagan did nothing about Bagram so that part of it is true."
