They’re extremely similar, Romania has a slightly lighter blue, but they’re both blue, yellow, and red vertical tricolors. Romania used to be more distinct, with a coat of arms in the middle, but that was removed after the fall of communism. Chad has complained, as they had the flag first, but Romania hasn’t done anything. Maybe this will prompt the new president to do something.
Not even a little bit. And posting “I am the new president of Chad” is absolutely fricking hilarious and extremely on brand.
It is also horrifying and chilling in light of the actual results, because you know he’s following the MAGA playbook and depending on how close the diaspora made him look in the end he was hoping for a version of the US capitol raid.
But if I’m going to have an opinion about this tweet it’s going to be about that, not the flag thing, for obvious reasons.

Maybe they can pull a Canada and actually come up with a flag design that works so well for them that almost rewrites history.
For me chad seems like a bit deeper red(on the emoji at least)
Would have confused it with Moldova instead, I suppose.
But yeah, of the MANY things I can throw at this guy, confusing 🇷🇴 with 🇹🇩 when tapping it on your phone is not it.
Mostly because I’m pretty sure I’ve done it myself more than once.
Honestly, they look identical on my phone.
They are. Romania has a narrower definition of the flag colors though.
I cannot see any difference. (Firefox on Windows.)
These are nearly identical on my display!
You’re not running for president though, are you?
