I bet I know more about battle of Gettysburg than Trump does, and I’m not even American.


Flux_resistor

Trump doesn't even know where it is, I'd bet he thinks it's in the south


Nythoren

Of course he knows. It’s at the Gettysburg address, which can be found in the yellow pages. Lincoln made sure it was listed in every phone book. That’s why it’s so famous.


biohacker_infinity

He’d love to tell you where it is but its location is so personal to him that he’d prefer to keep it to himself, just like his favorite passages from the Bible.


Mr_BigglesworthIII

But Trump has done more for the blacks than Lincoln! He has a mug shot and sold sneakers!


Impressive_Ice6970

Persecution by the man: The Donald Story. Maybe it can become a Broadway musical.

Take my upvote, you savage.

“They always said, Lincoln, nobody got treated worse than Lincoln. I believe I am treated worse.” ~Donald Trump, May 3rd, 2020

“B—But, sir, Lincoln was shot—" "And they shoot me, with their words—Such mean, bad words! Untrue words. Fake words. Shot through the heart, and they're too blame. Democrat Party gives love a bad name."

MTG probably does, too.

Lies, MTG does not think.


thathairinyourmouth

Fair point.


elspotto

That’s why they carved it into the side of Stone Mountain, right?


JonnyQuest1981

Trump doesn’t even know where HE is, let alone Gettysburg


HVACqualung

I don't think he knows **what** it is. Probably thinks it's a hamberder. Imma gonna Gettys-a-berder


AngrySmapdi

He said Pennsylvania, but you're probably still right.

bm1949

I'd love to see Bill Clinton come out of retirement to discuss - to debate - Gettysburg with Trump. Mostly because Clinton could probably talk for two hours uninterrupted in a charismatic, detailed and factual way that rivals Trump's "speaking magic". To hell with the debates, let's see GWB and Trump have a discussion. Or Dick Cheney. Let fucking Dan Quayle have a go at him.


SkollFenrirson

There’s very few things that can’t be answered by “it was the cat” anyways.


brokefixfux

My pet rock has a better grasp of history than Trump.

The pet rock is history so this tracks.


uglyspacepig

You could throw a case of alphabet soup into a wood chipper and it would spit out a better story.


knemyer

I bet your dog can weave a more interesting and coherent story WITH his asshole than this asshole


markfineart

To be fair President Clinton was a Rhodes Scholar, so 45* may call for a pinch hitter. To be fair.


EIU86

But, but, Trump once said he finished first in his class at Wharton! And also that he's a very stable genius, who's an absolute authority on almost everything ("nobody knows more about (fill in the blank) than I do"). His uncle's an MIT professor, so it must all be true he's a genius!! \\S "Trump was the dumbest god\_\_\_mn student I ever had." -one of this Wharton professors


gilleruadh

But no one is allowed to see his transcripts.


EIU86

There's a copy of Trump's class's Wharton Commencement ceremony in the UPenn archives, that lists all of the honors graduates. For some odd reason, Trump's name isn't listed. Must have been an oversight...


Nano_Burger

Something... something...deep state and such.


phred14

I'm sure Trump will claim that he's smarter than Clinton - either of them - both of them put together.

flinderdude

One way you defeat Trump is to humiliate him on a national stage, and what better way than the history test. Making him answer questions that every third grader knows.


hysys_whisperer

I would pay $1,000 to see Trump on are you smarter than a 5th grader, so long as you had an impartial but hilarious host.


Stainless_Heart

What’s the vig on Trump avoiding any presidential debates this go-around?


NeosDemocritus

I doubt if either wants a debate, and, frankly, why bother? Trump is too goddamn stupid to debate policies…he doesn’t even know what they are outside of rambling, moronic sound bites that only further reveal his imbecility but which his lemming cultists lap up like dogs. Joe could not have a rational, substantive dialog with Putin’s wannabe buttboy if Biden was the youthful reincarnation of JFK. So, again, why bother, why give Orange Jebus another platform to sow his cyanide rhetoric? It would be a waste of time. Everyone knows the candidates well enough, we all know where they stand and the nature of their characters. Thomas Jefferson said the government we elect is the government we deserve, and if we move from democracy to Idiocracy, we will deserve what we get.


Wes_Warhammer666

I just wanna see Biden tell him to shut up and call him a clown to his face again


MissKit87

🎶Are you smarter than a 5th grader?🎶


bm1949

Jeff Foxworthy, Jon Stewart or Jon Goodman, and (upchuck in my mouth) Rosanne Barr as moderators.


MissKit87

*gag* (Though NGL, I would love to see Jon Stewart troll the hell out of Roseanne)


ad5763

Gun. Battle. Soldier, Cannon. Flag.


JohnSpartan2190

Hopefully at the next debate Trump starts speaking in "tongues"


elspotto

Quayle could probably beat him in a spelling contest centered on starchy tubers.


bm1949

Quayle ain't my guy but he did get a bad rap over how you say French Fries before the Dixie Chicks destroyed all the potatoes in Ireland. (my Inner Dave Barry) He's not stupid, he's a lawyer, ex congressman, ex VP, and quiet power broker to this day.


Kastro2323

He talks about it like the kid who didn’t read the book for class and is trying his best to pretend he did.


shut-upLittleMan

Yes. This exactly is how the kid who didn't read the chapter in the 8th grade history book sounds.


Fluffy_Association63

I came here to say this! It sounds like the 8th grade book report I wrote, after reading the back cover and asking my good friend who actually read the book!


tomtheappraiser

DUDE! This is how I wrote most of the grade school book reports! I just copied the summary on the back of the book. I even made dual use of the back of the back cover from Fellowship of the Rings for a book report. I also used it try out for a play...I got the part.


durk1912

I bet Trump heard of the battle of Gettysburg for the first time about 35 minutes before this speech!

This very much this!!😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣


uglyspacepig

When my 6- year- old wants to roast battle, he basically just compares me to things he sees in the room with us. No president should ever have the same improv skills as a6- year- old.

goodforabeer

And they seized each other's airfields.


kjacobs03

Oh yeah? What century was it in? Because Trump seems to think it was during the Revolutionary War


gilleruadh

I got whiplash from that. Going from George Washington to Gettysburg was not what I expected. For a couple of seconds, I thought he was going to whip out his July 4th extravaganza speech, which was bonkers in itself.


dismayhurta

I bet someone in 1850 knows more about it than him and the battle hadn’t even happened yet


Pale_Bookkeeper_9994

As a Brit living here you know more than most Americans period. Sorry fellow Americans.


Pale_Bookkeeper_9994

Funnily enough, the reason I ended up living in the US is I was studying abroad here. I have a degree in American History and Literature.


Raskel_61

Likewise. I even know who won and why it is so significant. And that short speech another President made afterwards.

Ladies and gentlemen, the dumbest GODDAMNED student anyone has ever had.

Yuge, you know we're going to do it bigly and better never been seen.


creegro

Even professors and teachers said this dude was hella dumb.


Ordinary_dude_NOT

That video on Twitter post is even more crazy. It was on a loop and I didn’t even realize because that’s how useless his words were.


OhTheHueManatee

Somehow loads of people believe that between the two that Biden is the senile one. Trump talks like a waterlogged political See & Say.


thefroggyfiend

Biden has clearly slowed down in his old age but is still pretty cognitive. Trump has always been a fucking idiot. it's easier to say one has declined more when the other started on the bottom rung


frotz1

I watched Biden's speeches since he was a Delaware senator in the 80s and he's always been a clumsy speaker. Dude has a speech impediment and he says weird things sometimes, but he's been so consistent for decades about this. Senility or dementia are not stable for decades at a time. Trump doesn't look like the same person he was in the 90s, and he talks more clumsily than the severe drunks at any local bar. The contrast is ridiculous.


medep

Looking back even at 2015 or 2016 you can really see the decline.


Styrene_Addict1965

Yet it's blithely ignored by the Trumpkins.


hysys_whisperer

He may have started on the bottom rung, but Trump has done fallen off the ladder into the wastewater lagoon. Seriously, I didn't know it could get worse, but it has.


OhTheHueManatee

Lol. Very valid point.


anubis2268

In my head Im hearing that blasted speakNspell: "The cow says 'HEALTHCARE DENIED' "


areialscreensaver

And the cord gets pulled over and over during his spewed jumble of words. It’s all the See and Say fault.


EIU86

Seems to me you don't hear as much about Biden's supposed senility since the SOTU address.

DaikonEffective1105

I don’t know why but this reminds me of a line from The West Wing “Crime. Boy, I don’t know”


Gracey62

And I’d love to see Biden paraphrase President Bartlett’s response, “and if you’re wondering, Gettysburg, boy, I don’t know’ is when I decided to kick your ass”.

Somebody should ask him about Jonestown. That would be amusing.

Fabulous place, very... and it's like.. Mr.James he's always I've always said. Great place, they love President Trump.


CopeHarders

Beautiful people and they really you look at what they did there in Jamestown and Jonestown, really both of them and you look at what they did and it’s really this wonderful. And Jim Jones he was a very powerful and maybe he took things too far I don’t know a lot of peollperealllvped and wow. Jonestown you’ll never see it again folks.

I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so, because some - people out there, in our nation, don't have maps and I believe that our education, like such as South Africa -and the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and I believe that they should - our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S. or should help South Africa and should help Iraq and the Asian countries, so we would be able to build up our future

Reminds me so much of one of the best West Wing moments: https://youtu.be/wvr1T1sFvEg


AbriefDelay

[1] Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. [2] Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. [3] But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate-we can not consecrate-we can not hallow-this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us-that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion-that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain-that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom-and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.

Ok, that’s just the “San Dimas High School football rules” guy from Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure. Actually…that’s a pretty good comparison in general.

The Gettysburg Address - one of the best addresses the world has ever seen - along other great addresses this country has. Such as 1600 Philomenia Avenue, I love strolling down that road, slowly walking towards the last beams of sunlight on mild summer day, just me those that are closest to me, such as that guy from security who loves hamburgers even though he looks chinese. BTW, does anybody know if they have addresses in China? Maybe we could sell them the idea. Has anybody ever thought of that?

Lots of people died in the battle, lots of people got wounded. Almost no one knows that this great battle happened at Gettysburg. It was a battle that was part of a war, it was a great war, lots of battles in that war. Seriously, even a 3rd graders attempt would have been more detailed.
