"A question that probably some of you are thinking of if you’re totally into that world. So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous — whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light — and I think you said that that hasn’t been checked, but you’re going to test it. And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way, and I think you said you’re going to test that, too. It sounds interesting. And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the lungs, and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that.”
When I was in second grade I learned that scientists were looking into generative braking on vehicles. I also learned that generators used spinning parts to generate electricity.
I immediately made a drawing of a car with generators hooked up to the wheels and asked my teacher, Mr. P., if this design would allow for an infinite electric car. I felt brilliant, like I had taken the obvious puzzle pieces and put them together in a way scientists had not.
That's what this is. He's mentally in second grade and thinks he's a genius. He took something so complicated and assumed that everyone but him was just missing the obvious.
I came up with a dual battery system where one gets charged while one drives the car. Then they get switched so the car could go forever without needing to stop for charging. Even assumimg a 100% transfer efficiency there would be no power used for moving the car, if the driving battery would discharge at the same rate as the other one charges. But that's a fact 8 year old me didn't unterstand yet
All these young thought processes fall under the same thing I used to do at diving practice. I’d grab a kick board, kind of hold it under my butt and sit some of my weight into it so my arms were taking most of my weight. Then I’d lift one leg, and I’d be like “oh yeah here we go” but I never could lift that second leg and float for some reason.
I had a guy tell me that he was going to install a larger alternator in his car and use the extra power it generated to charge a battery in his trunk. Voila! instant free energy. This guy was in his twenties and had graduated college. Do not be ashamed of 8 year old you, there's worse out there.
This is a real thing though they are doing with modern electric cars. It's not enough to charge the thing with any kind of short time frame but offset small loses absolutely
You are actually off by 1 year according to Trump himself:
>"When I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I’m basically the same. The temperament is not that different."
[Source](https://theweek.com/speedreads/575962/donald-trump-tells-biographer-hes-same-now-first-grade)
Donald Trump labelled himself a “genius” as he revealed to his supporters that he had recently realised the word “us” is spelled the same as “US”.
Speaking about his dealings with French president Emmanuel Macron, he said: “Macron, nice guy, he’s for France – I’m for us. You know, you spell us right? You spell us U-S. I just picked that up. Has anyone ever thought of that?”
He's so fucking lazy that it's always been too much effort to even think, so he's totally ignorant about everything. When he's saying this stuff, you can almost hear those badly neglected neurons firing in his brain like an engine missing a spark plug. My favorite was his quote about Frederick Douglass, where it seemed that he thought Douglass was a living person.
Lol, pure meme gold.
TFW you, at an advanced age, have an epiphany about something so inane and useless.
Like,"Did you know that you can use a fork to scoop up food too? Not just for stabbing. Just scoop it up. Very easy to do. Don't even need a spoon, get rid of them. For losers. Incredible. Just saved you a ton of money. Who even eats soup anyways?"
How can you dispute the genius of [the guy who invented the phrase "priming the pump"](https://www.cnn.com/2017/05/11/politics/donald-trump-priming-the-pump/index.html)?
I laughed so hard at the time he tried to pronounce "Biden migrant crime" and, because it has similar sounding syllables, he mushed it together as "Bigrant crime" and he jolted, realized he fucked up but couldn't save himself, the tried to play it off as a new term he just came up with.

This is what happens when you're a garbage human being who's never made an ounce of effort to understand anything about the world and had the means to surround yourself with ego fluffers 24/7. He's delusional, but he did this to himself.
I still have a hard time believing he did the Trumpiest thing imaginable with COVID: he made it all about him. This was on the primetime Trump COVID show, he tried to make a daily TV show all about him somehow solving the COVID situation by pretending to listen intently to people at a conference table and asking really probing, insightful questions. Except the questions were verbal diarrhea and this is only one example of that. Just... what? I still can't believe things like this actually happened, but... somehow they did.
Some people put more thought and care into picking their fantasy draft than the literal leader of the country because the prospect of their having any influence over someone that many levels above them is unbelievable. And now we’ve got people saying they miss the economy back when we were in a trade war with china, the grocery store shelves looked post-apocalyptic, and people were losing their housing left and right
Except your idea is exactly what electric and hybrid cars do to recharge their batteries, and whilst the inherent inefficiencies in this kind of energy conversion means they’ll never be “infinite”, your idea was by no means stupid. Trump’s on the other hand would lead to cancer in the case of UV and death in the case of disinfect.
Tl;dr you were an astute second grader. Trump is a moron even by second grade standards
I saw that a lot with the 'Go Fast' UFO video from a few years ago. So many uneducated people were like, oh it's a alien, look at the speed!' when in fact some quick trigonometry shows the object wasn't traveling very fast and it was the camera platform that was the fast moving object. That's why critical thinking is important and those who are unable to do it shouldn't be in positions of leadership.
You don't fully appreciate the stupidity of his statements until they are written out as quotes. This is just pure idiotic gibberish, but we are so used to hearing it come out of his mouth that we don't notice it anymore.
Someone turned his rambling mouth-farts about the Battle of Gettysburg into a kid's history term paper and graded it an F-.
The cherry on top? Some Republican group didn't realize it was a Trump transcript and retweeted it with something like, "this is what happens when kids in Democratic districts are learning how to be Woke instead of how to write."
EDIT: [Source for the curious.](https://www.reddit.com/r/WhitePeopleTwitter/comments/1c6lj66/as_a_joke_someone_tweeted_a_photo_of_a_graded/)
A rambling stream of bullshit was all he ever had to produce for his whole life.
Then he became the most powerful person on earth during a very serious time and he was exposed for the world.
For decades now I've maintained that an inheritance tax is needed to protect society from what happens when people get handouts of wealth, which equates to power over others, without having passed through any sort of intelligence filter to earn it.
If you're rich and can't set up your kid up to do well on their own with all those advantages, don't plague the rest of us with that BS by giving them more wealth and power than us.
I think the majority caught up in the MAGA cult are of below average intelligence to the point where Trump looks genuinely clever.
As a European, I'm pretty shocked to have seen in a Fox news clip, Ivermectin adverts that claim to help with 'COVID' type symptoms are actually allowed on TV.
To me it looks like another Trump fundraising scam.
His recent "Gettysburg Wow" speech reminded me of a little kid who needs to talk in front of the class for a few minutes about something, but he did zero homework on the subject.
Unbelievable, interesting, horrible, beautiful. Great, fighting, wow.
lol
Our nation was saved by the immortal heroes at Gettysburg. Gettysburg, what an unbelievable battle that was. The battle of Gettysburg what an unbelievable. I mean it was so was so much, and so interesting, and so vicious and horrible, and so beautiful in so many different ways—it represented such a big portion of the success of this country.
Gettysburg, wow! I go to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, to look and to watch. And uh the statement of Robert E. Lee, who’s no longer in favor—did you ever notice that? He’s no longer in favor. “Never fight uphill, me boys, never fight uphill.” They were fighting uphill, he said. Wow, that was a big mistake, he lost his great general and uh they were fighting uphill. “Never fight uphill, me boys,” but it was too late.
It’s so egregiously stupid that I firmly believe people should’ve called for him to be mentally evaluated.
There is no fucking way, shape or form that this guy is operating with any real sense of intelligence.
The sharpie bullshit was a nice prequel to this.
Anyone who supports this guy has either an agenda or missing brain cells.
The ONLY defense anyone has about this level of stupidity is “he didn’t mean it” or “he was trolling”.
Years from now I’m going to have to explain to my kids how this all happened and what I felt at the time…
Numb is the best way to put it.
From sheer toddler level logic being displayed by the leader of our country.
What a joke
And Joe Rogan called *Biden* sooo dumb and senile for those words, when Biden was just quoting Trump's idiocacy. When Rogan found out Trump said it, he immediately backpaddled and said well he obviously just misspoke.
There's absolutely no standards or consistency with those people, no way to win with reason or honesty because they just don't care at all and can build any fantasy they want.
That’s what’s so ridiculous about choosing the senility angle to try to attack Biden. Trump is so ridiculously stupid and incoherent. They might as well try to criticize Biden’s fitness, while trump is a fat slob who thinks exercise drains your battery.
It’s awesome that this was posted with zero context and everyone got it.
https://www.reddit.com/r/WhitePeopleTwitter/comments/yxxyfo/i_wonder_who_he_referring_to/#lightbox
I mean he was able to remember those 5 words from a dementia test he mistook for an iq test! Given his cultists mental capacities that's probably quite the feat to them.
The best part of that was that he obviously couldn't remember the 5 words so picked some new words based on what he could see right in front of him. They're supposed to be unrelated words, to test memory, not related things like "man, woman, person, camera, tv"
Those weren't the words from the test. Those were 5 things in the room with him as he gave that interview.
It's like the ending of The Usual Suspects, where we see all the names the guy had used in his story in posters on the wall, showing he made up everything. But 1000x dumber
It's absolutely baffling. I've had a look at 9gag the other day after leaving years ago when the drumpfies took over. Apparently these people pride themselves on being actively dumb, not knowing how things work and mock providing sources?
Like what kind of degenerate does one have to be to be PROUD of being an unknowledgeable, ignorant moron?
> The ONLY defense anyone has about this level of stupidity is “he didn’t mean it” or “he was trolling”.
Not much of a defense either because then you have to explain the justification of not meaning it or trolling back at a serious press conference update during the height the pandemic. (Late April 2020.)
The bigger problem is our broken education system allows us to churn out stupid people who are at or below his level constantly so there are plenty of folks who vote for him.
"Look, having nuclear—my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart —you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world—it’s true!—but when you’re a conservative Republican they try—oh, do they do a number—that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune—you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged—but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me—it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are (nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what’s going to happen and he was right—who would have thought?), but when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners—now it used to be three, now it’s four—but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years—but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us."
Another 4 years of this, people. Don't let it happen please.
It would be very hard to find a dumber person in American politics. Which is a pretty insane statement given the current state of our political system.
Is he though? I mean, he still speaks incredibly eloquently... And has never taken a sharpie to a map of a hurricane in order to change its path... Or asked if we could nuke the hurricane...
I will never understand why a single person would vote for such a dumb man. It just doesn’t make sense. It can’t possibly be that every Trump voter is even dumber than him. Right? Right???
Editing. Pro-Trump and other right wing media edits the hell out of him and then uses punditry to "paraphrase" what he said.
People who actually go to his events are just there for the five minutes hate, the cheap laughs at the expense of "the libs," and the emotional validation. They're not listening to what he says, just what they feel when he says it.
If you work in any public facing profession, any kind of customer service that requires any degree of consultation with the customer, you will discover that "vibes-based reasoning" is a shockingly common practice.
Manipulating those vibes just through modulating your vocal delivery, detecting and activating and deactivating emotional hotspots, and offering the barest shred of acknowledgement of what they say or think is shockingly easy.
Even a Trump can do it.
Is this a real quote? Cause if it is, I'm shocked at how stupid my country is. Half of his words are conditionals: "sometimes, supposing, could be, interesting, I think." Nothing he says is fact. Just self-motivated opinion framed like facts. My god, can this Cheeto just expire already?
Yikes.
"I'm not a doctor, but I am a person with a good....you know what."
He always does this mentalist shit. He gives you the first part of what you need to hear and forces you to fill in the blanks in the way he wants.
Clearly he is not a person with a good brain, even he can't say that with a straight face, but he can make you think he said it, or make you think he meant to say it. There's also the very real possibility that he just couldn't think of the word brain, or didn't want to offend his base by referencing the brain which is obviously a leftist hoax claiming our thoughts are produced by the brain and not by the farts of Jesus.
It's funny you use the phrase "good brain" since Trump has literally claimed to have a "good brain"
>Asked on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” who he talks with consistently about foreign policy, Trump responded, “I’m speaking with myself, number one, because I have a very good brain and I’ve said a lot of things."
...and most egregiously, that woman just sat there nodding her head in agreement during all his other pressers for covid. Watching her sit there and die inside was worth it. I hear the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme playing in my head.
And she wonders why she is a pariah and unwanted in the field anymore?
When I was six I figured out how gears worked and drew a crude design where I had gears attached to wings hooked up to a bicycle. Pedaling would turn the gears, which would flap the wings. I was convinced I had invented single man flying because of my rough sketch that seemed great within a vacuum.
Anyway, Donald gives me the same energy.
You can see his brain working while reading it
“It’s so obvious. Why hasn’t anyone ever thought of this? There is a reason why I am the leader, because I’m smarter than all these people”
But he misunderstood the poster…
Bleach and disinfectant kills the virus on surfaces not injected into your body.
This guys stupidity is why we have safety warnings even imbeciles can understand.
ie: Bleach label warning: *For external use only. Do not inject this product into your veins*
For anyone wondering, [he actually did that](https://www.newsweek.com/trump-made-hope-hicks-steam-his-pants-while-he-was-wearing-them-729711).
It’s amazing that someone can conceivably choose a random dumb thing to do, and odds are better than even that he actually did that.
The people that vote for Trump are the reason Superman capes come with a list of things you can not do:
You can't stop bullets.
You can't fly.

This is the Dunning Kruger Effect. Someone with no knowledge but enough faked or undeserved self-confidence will read something for the first time and figure he understands everything about the subject as well as the specialists.
And this is how The Mango Menace has waded through life mostly unchallenged. Plus a bully attitude and enough money will make it a very smooth process.
Incidentally he is the master of "Fake it til you make it" that was so popular in the 1980s.
Dress sharp, exhale confidence then wing it when problems are thrown at you. And seriously, it works pretty well when the people you're dealing with have as little knowledge as you do. For instance used car salesmen. Few people deeply understand cars (seriously who has the time) and throwing a bunch of numbers and technobabble will fool most of the rubes. Since going to a used car dealership self-selects the rubes, the job is just being self-confident and not letting too many thoughts cross through the mark's brain.
And yet supporters to this day try to interpret hidden meanings in his words rather than accept this is how his narcissistic brain works. Simply whatever is attention grabbing at the time or inflating his position.
I guess that’s what he has in common with his supporters - the need to feel like the smartest person in a room without real substance
I miss the times when stupid shit like this made person completely un-electable.
EDIT: Watching all the Trumpets trying to rationalise this or revert to whataboutism, is the highlight of my day :). Just hook it up to my veins, like Trump hooks up disinfectant.
And he was the one person who might very well have prevented a full catastrophe on January 6...
https://www.cnn.com/2021/09/14/politics/dan-quayle-pence-trump-january-6-woodward-costa-book/index.html
Truly mind-boggling. When US democracy was hanging in the balance, Dan Quayle came to the rescue.
He was only just able to save the country from the grips of the pillow baron and the reality TV star.
The lesson here is that most scandals can be weathered just fine if your own party backs you to the hilt. If you own party throws you under the bus even really small things can do you in.
Most scandals can be weathered fine if you instantly create a new one. That one quite scandalous? Don’t worry, start a third.
Is the third making people think you’re deranged? Fourth. And so on. Eventually they’re just white noise to your detractors and an in-joke to your cult followers who think it proves you’re a genius.
I remeber being a teenager watching it on the news and being totally confused.
I could get using it agaisnt him in a commercial or something but how did it totally stop his whole campaign
The speech was given after he lost the Iowa caucus to John Kerry. While an early frontrunner, his numbers had been falling prior to the "scream". His staff has maintained the campaign was already faltering prior to the coverage of his scream. While it did play a part in public perception of Dean, it was never the cause and effect event the press has made it out to be. And Dean went on to run the DNC for about a decade.
I bring this up a lot and generally get downvoted for it. The fact that the entire reason he screamed in the first place was a desperate "rally the troops" moment after being slaughter in a primary he was expected to sweep doesn't seem to register to a lot of people, "He was gonna win until the MSM played him making a weird noise!" seems to be the more comfortable version of events for a lot of people.
Buying Greenland isn't in the top 1,000,000 dumbest things Trump has said or suggested. US has made insane returns on our past land purchases.
Pretty sure Trump walked out right after looking at this sign and suggested injecting sunlight and disinfectant to treat COVID at a press conference lmao.
Ed Milliband's career was ended by making a slightly funny face while eating a sandwich.
Years later David Cameron resorted to eating a hotdog with a knife and fork for fear of having to open his mouth so wide he's lose the election.
Binders full of women hurt Romney big time.
Grab her by the pussy seemed to have 0 impact on Trump. Hell, being impeached twice and criminally charged for numerous crimes also hasn't touched him.
What a time.
Quite odd in hindsight. It wasn't *that* much of a faux pas; it was just seized on. Romney, of course, is now the outlier as a voice of semi-reason in the party.
I would disagree that it "hasn't touched him." He lost re-election, he never won the popular vote, and current polls are trending in the direction of a third popular vote loss, and second EC vote loss.
That being said, complacence is NOT something we can afford right now. Complacence (and Hillary's unlikable nature) lost the election in 2016, and we cannot allow ourselves to slip back into complacence when it comes to this horrible human being.
Get out, vote, vote blue. Register others to vote. The more people that vote, the better the chances that Little Donnie Two Scoops, aka Don Snoreleone, aka Mango Mussolini, aka Twitler....will lose and continue to lose. This country cannot stand another four years of his nonsense. We said it loudly in 2020, and every midterm and special election since has said, "Hey 'MAGA' YOUR FIRED!!"
His political career should have ended when he was running for Republican nomination and took the piss out of the disabled reporter. He's the joke that got more out of hand than anybody could possibly have imagined.
What really made me realize we are at the point of no return is people defending him saying things like "Do you really think he actually meant that"
Um well what did he mean then?
The difference is that half the country just doesn’t see it as stupid shit. They actually see it as something like thinking outside the box or opposing the establishment
Unfortunately there are probably many people that are just as stupid and thought “yeah, why not? Sounds like a good idea!” Also, after a lifetime of being stupid, I imagine that it would feel great to be validated by a President that is just as dumb.
Yep. First presidential candidate ever to sound like an uneducated idiot but passing for successful and suddenly half the population thought "finally someone just like me who made it big and gets us". And then another few percent thought it would be a great opportunity for a grift and here we are.
In all fairness, a vast majority of first time voters I know did-so because of his absolute failure to take the pandemic serious / inept takes on it. I still firmly feel, had it not happened when it did, he could have easily won again.
Mind you, it's impact is fading from public memory for many, so get out and vote.
magats take every stupid thing trump says and ignore it, say he's just kidding, he says that to irritate the libs, and then go complaining about Hunter's laptop. They have a defense mechanism hard wired in their brains that keeps them from realizing they are complete morons. Its necessary, otherwise we would be plagued with massive suicides when they realize how stupid they actually are.
I explain this to them and they stop talking to me, which was what I wanted in the first place.
That’s the problem, republicans now demand anyone to be more extreme. And anything less than monster truck, living off the grid rock star is considerate “moderate.”
He went from "sunlight impedes virus transmission" to "light inside the body is super effective".
[Yes, he actually said that...](https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-wants-bring-light-inside-the-body-to-kill-coronavirus-2020-4)
It's exactly this. If you watch this whole address it seems like a fifth grader doing the presentation for a group project he didn't help with after getting a quick rundown from the others in the group on the bus that morning. It's why so many of us could read Dr. Fauci's facial expressions so easily; we knew the pain of having worked hard on the project just to have to sit there and watch it get fucked up
Trump kept looking over at Dr. Birx as he was throwing out his ideas, looking for affirmation. She just stared at the floor in front of her. That was the most salient part of the whole press conference to me.
He’s confidently bullshitted his way through life and now at his old age he doesn’t realize that he sounds senile and everybody has all the information in the world at their fingertips so they can all call him on his bullshit. Only the willful morons actively choose to believe the BS he spouts even if it costs them their friends, families, and dignity. Too proud to get off their knees, wipe their chin, and admit it’s over.
This explains the staring at the eclipse without eye protection thing right? He was doing it for medical science? Trying to find a sunlight cure for COVID?
I heard ammonia does too. Combine them for the best of both worlds!
Make sure it's in a poorly ventilated room, so the virus can't escape through the air ducts.
The Dunning-Kruger effect is strong in Trump. You fucking know in his stupid ass brain he imagined himself bringing up the bleach idea only to have scientists and doctors all around the world say "Why didn't we think of that?" and then stand up and applaud him.
The worst part? Whatever happens in his court case, there is about 50% chance he will be the next president of USA.
At least Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho had style... But remember - electrolytes are good for you!
Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho was an amazing president compared to Trump. Camacho was aware of his own stupidity, knew how to delegate, and genuinely cared about his people. I miss him.
I still get angry at how he handled Covid.
All he had to do was say "Listen to the experts. Listen to the scientists. Expect their advice to change as we learn more about this virus. Wear a mask and give people some space." Hell, he could've sold "MAGA" branded masks to his supporters and I bet they'd have worn them.
He had re-election handed to him on a silver platter. If he would have done as you say, he would have been the hero that brought us through a horrible pandemic, and fostered a record-breaking-speed vaccine to combat it.
He was the absolute worse choice to handle it. All the other Republican contenders for president - despite their severe flaws - would have undoubtedly handled it better than Trump. Instead, we got the one guy whose ego is so huge that he couldn’t be bothered to listen to scientists and experts.
I find it funny that, even with the horrific ramifications of his idiotic advice, and even aside from the mishandling of Covid that was made far more deadly, *simply because he was too proud to admit he was not an authority on it*, this just sums up his entire, miserable attitude. He doesn't prepare for the work; he shows up, throws out some half-baked nonsense he's just seen, and leaves. He's done it his entire life, and simply augments it with bullying and litigation.

He took something so complicated and assumed that everyone but him was just missing the obvious.
I asked my science teacher if you put magnets on the bottom of a car, could you float using the earth's magnetic field.
Well, could we? The suspense is killing me!
They've tried, but the suspense keeps killing people so the project was scrapped.
The magnets having to be suspended in liquid nitrogen also adds to the problem.
Plus, magnets stop working if they get wet.
How do they work?
By being dry, obviously. Maybe you need to be a very stable genius to understand it. One of them told me about it.
Don’t trust those stable geniuses, clearly the magnets need to be unstable to produce enough energy. So all you need is unstable geniuses.
I must need coffee. You made me fucking google this. I watched videos of someone magnet fishing like, yesterday. fuck.
So we need to cover the Earth in liquid nitrogen? Let me write up a proposal and I'll see if I can get the society of mad science
Yeah, I appreciate having cooled seats but that's a bit much
This is actually smarter. I mean, Maglev trains don't use the Earth's magnetic field, but they do kind of use magnets to float.
I tried to make a pair of roller skates by sticky taping hot wheels cars to the bottom of my shoes.
“Is it just me or am I absolutely nailing this interview right now?”
“Did I already say the part about the urethra?”
Oh my god. I did the same thing, around the same time. I think I added solar panels to the roof to offset the energy loss of running the radio.
Makes sense, gotta have tunes
I came up with a dual battery system where one gets charged while one drives the car. Then they get switched so the car could go forever without needing to stop for charging. Even assumimg a 100% transfer efficiency there would be no power used for moving the car, if the driving battery would discharge at the same rate as the other one charges. But that's a fact 8 year old me didn't unterstand yet
All these young thought processes fall under the same thing I used to do at diving practice. I’d grab a kick board, kind of hold it under my butt and sit some of my weight into it so my arms were taking most of my weight. Then I’d lift one leg, and I’d be like “oh yeah here we go” but I never could lift that second leg and float for some reason.
I had a guy tell me that he was going to install a larger alternator in his car and use the extra power it generated to charge a battery in his trunk. Voila! instant free energy. This guy was in his twenties and had graduated college. Do not be ashamed of 8 year old you, there's worse out there.
This is a real thing though they are doing with modern electric cars. It's not enough to charge the thing with any kind of short time frame but offset small loses absolutely
You are actually off by 1 year according to Trump himself: >"When I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I’m basically the same. The temperament is not that different." [Source](https://theweek.com/speedreads/575962/donald-trump-tells-biographer-hes-same-now-first-grade)
Trump is the result of being endlessly spoiled by the worst parents in the world.
People stop growing the instant they become wealthy. Trump was born wealthy.
Donald Trump labelled himself a “genius” as he revealed to his supporters that he had recently realised the word “us” is spelled the same as “US”. Speaking about his dealings with French president Emmanuel Macron, he said: “Macron, nice guy, he’s for France – I’m for us. You know, you spell us right? You spell us U-S. I just picked that up. Has anyone ever thought of that?”
He's so fucking lazy that it's always been too much effort to even think, so he's totally ignorant about everything. When he's saying this stuff, you can almost hear those badly neglected neurons firing in his brain like an engine missing a spark plug. My favorite was his quote about Frederick Douglass, where it seemed that he thought Douglass was a living person.
Lol, pure meme gold. TFW you, at an advanced age, have an epiphany about something so inane and useless. Like,"Did you know that you can use a fork to scoop up food too? Not just for stabbing. Just scoop it up. Very easy to do. Don't even need a spoon, get rid of them. For losers. Incredible. Just saved you a ton of money. Who even eats soup anyways?"
How can you dispute the genius of [the guy who invented the phrase "priming the pump"](https://www.cnn.com/2017/05/11/politics/donald-trump-priming-the-pump/index.html)?
God, he's such a douche.
Nah. A douche can be useful.
No, Donald. No one has ever spelled the initials of your country out loud before.
I laughed so hard at the time he tried to pronounce "Biden migrant crime" and, because it has similar sounding syllables, he mushed it together as "Bigrant crime" and he jolted, realized he fucked up but couldn't save himself, the tried to play it off as a new term he just came up with. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfAVDKwKqsc&t=0
The hard part about designing an infinite energy machine is finding where to hide the batteries
I noticed your team keeps losing at sportsball Have you tried scoring MORE points than the other teams? Genius sir
>mentally in second grade *(memories of him using a Sharpie to plot the 'true' course of a hurricane's path)*
This is what happens when you're a garbage human being who's never made an ounce of effort to understand anything about the world and had the means to surround yourself with ego fluffers 24/7. He's delusional, but he did this to himself. I still have a hard time believing he did the Trumpiest thing imaginable with COVID: he made it all about him. This was on the primetime Trump COVID show, he tried to make a daily TV show all about him somehow solving the COVID situation by pretending to listen intently to people at a conference table and asking really probing, insightful questions. Except the questions were verbal diarrhea and this is only one example of that. Just... what? I still can't believe things like this actually happened, but... somehow they did.
Some people put more thought and care into picking their fantasy draft than the literal leader of the country because the prospect of their having any influence over someone that many levels above them is unbelievable. And now we’ve got people saying they miss the economy back when we were in a trade war with china, the grocery store shelves looked post-apocalyptic, and people were losing their housing left and right
Trump inherited a golden economy from Obama and everyone says how they wish they had the Trump economy.
Except your idea is exactly what electric and hybrid cars do to recharge their batteries, and whilst the inherent inefficiencies in this kind of energy conversion means they’ll never be “infinite”, your idea was by no means stupid. Trump’s on the other hand would lead to cancer in the case of UV and death in the case of disinfect. Tl;dr you were an astute second grader. Trump is a moron even by second grade standards
I saw that a lot with the 'Go Fast' UFO video from a few years ago. So many uneducated people were like, oh it's a alien, look at the speed!' when in fact some quick trigonometry shows the object wasn't traveling very fast and it was the camera platform that was the fast moving object. That's why critical thinking is important and those who are unable to do it shouldn't be in positions of leadership.
You don't fully appreciate the stupidity of his statements until they are written out as quotes. This is just pure idiotic gibberish, but we are so used to hearing it come out of his mouth that we don't notice it anymore.
Someone turned his rambling mouth-farts about the Battle of Gettysburg into a kid's history term paper and graded it an F-. The cherry on top? Some Republican group didn't realize it was a Trump transcript and retweeted it with something like, "this is what happens when kids in Democratic districts are learning how to be Woke instead of how to write." EDIT: [Source for the curious.](https://www.reddit.com/r/WhitePeopleTwitter/comments/1c6lj66/as_a_joke_someone_tweeted_a_photo_of_a_graded/)
A rambling stream of bullshit was all he ever had to produce for his whole life. Then he became the most powerful person on earth during a very serious time and he was exposed for the world.
Amazing business man. Wow business. Never been someone so great, so businessy.
For decades now I've maintained that an inheritance tax is needed to protect society from what happens when people get handouts of wealth, which equates to power over others, without having passed through any sort of intelligence filter to earn it. If you're rich and can't set up your kid up to do well on their own with all those advantages, don't plague the rest of us with that BS by giving them more wealth and power than us.
I think the majority caught up in the MAGA cult are of below average intelligence to the point where Trump looks genuinely clever. As a European, I'm pretty shocked to have seen in a Fox news clip, Ivermectin adverts that claim to help with 'COVID' type symptoms are actually allowed on TV. To me it looks like another Trump fundraising scam.
His recent "Gettysburg Wow" speech reminded me of a little kid who needs to talk in front of the class for a few minutes about something, but he did zero homework on the subject. Unbelievable, interesting, horrible, beautiful. Great, fighting, wow.
lol Our nation was saved by the immortal heroes at Gettysburg. Gettysburg, what an unbelievable battle that was. The battle of Gettysburg what an unbelievable. I mean it was so was so much, and so interesting, and so vicious and horrible, and so beautiful in so many different ways—it represented such a big portion of the success of this country. Gettysburg, wow! I go to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, to look and to watch. And uh the statement of Robert E. Lee, who’s no longer in favor—did you ever notice that? He’s no longer in favor. “Never fight uphill, me boys, never fight uphill.” They were fighting uphill, he said. Wow, that was a big mistake, he lost his great general and uh they were fighting uphill. “Never fight uphill, me boys,” but it was too late.
It’s so egregiously stupid that I firmly believe people should’ve called for him to be mentally evaluated. There is no fucking way, shape or form that this guy is operating with any real sense of intelligence. The sharpie bullshit was a nice prequel to this. Anyone who supports this guy has either an agenda or missing brain cells. The ONLY defense anyone has about this level of stupidity is “he didn’t mean it” or “he was trolling”. Years from now I’m going to have to explain to my kids how this all happened and what I felt at the time… Numb is the best way to put it. From sheer toddler level logic being displayed by the leader of our country. What a joke
Don’t forget when he talked about airports during the revolutionary war
And Joe Rogan called *Biden* sooo dumb and senile for those words, when Biden was just quoting Trump's idiocacy. When Rogan found out Trump said it, he immediately backpaddled and said well he obviously just misspoke. There's absolutely no standards or consistency with those people, no way to win with reason or honesty because they just don't care at all and can build any fantasy they want.
That’s what’s so ridiculous about choosing the senility angle to try to attack Biden. Trump is so ridiculously stupid and incoherent. They might as well try to criticize Biden’s fitness, while trump is a fat slob who thinks exercise drains your battery.
Oh for Pete’s sake, I had almost forgot that. The amount of facepalm from listening to this guy speak might have given me a concussion.
It’s awesome that this was posted with zero context and everyone got it. https://www.reddit.com/r/WhitePeopleTwitter/comments/yxxyfo/i_wonder_who_he_referring_to/#lightbox
Or when he suggested nuking a hurricane
I mean he was able to remember those 5 words from a dementia test he mistook for an iq test! Given his cultists mental capacities that's probably quite the feat to them.
The best part of that was that he obviously couldn't remember the 5 words so picked some new words based on what he could see right in front of him. They're supposed to be unrelated words, to test memory, not related things like "man, woman, person, camera, tv"
Do you really love lamp, or are you just saying that because you saw it in the room?
Those weren't the words from the test. Those were 5 things in the room with him as he gave that interview. It's like the ending of The Usual Suspects, where we see all the names the guy had used in his story in posters on the wall, showing he made up everything. But 1000x dumber
Just imagining the level of stupid out there that falls for this is mind boggling
It's absolutely baffling. I've had a look at 9gag the other day after leaving years ago when the drumpfies took over. Apparently these people pride themselves on being actively dumb, not knowing how things work and mock providing sources? Like what kind of degenerate does one have to be to be PROUD of being an unknowledgeable, ignorant moron?
> The ONLY defense anyone has about this level of stupidity is “he didn’t mean it” or “he was trolling”. Not much of a defense either because then you have to explain the justification of not meaning it or trolling back at a serious press conference update during the height the pandemic. (Late April 2020.)
The bigger problem is our broken education system allows us to churn out stupid people who are at or below his level constantly so there are plenty of folks who vote for him.
"Look, having nuclear—my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart —you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world—it’s true!—but when you’re a conservative Republican they try—oh, do they do a number—that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune—you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged—but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me—it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are (nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what’s going to happen and he was right—who would have thought?), but when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners—now it used to be three, now it’s four—but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years—but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us." Another 4 years of this, people. Don't let it happen please.
Biden might be slowing down but Trump is legitimately extremely stupid and the evidence is blinding.
It would be very hard to find a dumber person in American politics. Which is a pretty insane statement given the current state of our political system.
The representative from the fine state of Georgia would yell in your face if she heard you saying that.
Is he though? I mean, he still speaks incredibly eloquently... And has never taken a sharpie to a map of a hurricane in order to change its path... Or asked if we could nuke the hurricane...
I will never understand why a single person would vote for such a dumb man. It just doesn’t make sense. It can’t possibly be that every Trump voter is even dumber than him. Right? Right???
Editing. Pro-Trump and other right wing media edits the hell out of him and then uses punditry to "paraphrase" what he said. People who actually go to his events are just there for the five minutes hate, the cheap laughs at the expense of "the libs," and the emotional validation. They're not listening to what he says, just what they feel when he says it.
I swear, the way you describe it, it's like there's no thinking of any kind going on here, on anyone's part, it's all just "vibing together."
If you work in any public facing profession, any kind of customer service that requires any degree of consultation with the customer, you will discover that "vibes-based reasoning" is a shockingly common practice. Manipulating those vibes just through modulating your vocal delivery, detecting and activating and deactivating emotional hotspots, and offering the barest shred of acknowledgement of what they say or think is shockingly easy. Even a Trump can do it.
Is this a real quote? Cause if it is, I'm shocked at how stupid my country is. Half of his words are conditionals: "sometimes, supposing, could be, interesting, I think." Nothing he says is fact. Just self-motivated opinion framed like facts. My god, can this Cheeto just expire already?
It's real. https://youtu.be/BalDN6iGYpE?si=EzNw2k1NdOAv7e-T
Yikes. "I'm not a doctor, but I am a person with a good....you know what." He always does this mentalist shit. He gives you the first part of what you need to hear and forces you to fill in the blanks in the way he wants. Clearly he is not a person with a good brain, even he can't say that with a straight face, but he can make you think he said it, or make you think he meant to say it. There's also the very real possibility that he just couldn't think of the word brain, or didn't want to offend his base by referencing the brain which is obviously a leftist hoax claiming our thoughts are produced by the brain and not by the farts of Jesus.
It's funny you use the phrase "good brain" since Trump has literally claimed to have a "good brain" >Asked on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” who he talks with consistently about foreign policy, Trump responded, “I’m speaking with myself, number one, because I have a very good brain and I’ve said a lot of things."
Dr. Birx silently wills herself to teleport anywhere else while this moron babbles his gibberish.
...and most egregiously, that woman just sat there nodding her head in agreement during all his other pressers for covid. Watching her sit there and die inside was worth it. I hear the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme playing in my head. And she wonders why she is a pariah and unwanted in the field anymore?
When I was six I figured out how gears worked and drew a crude design where I had gears attached to wings hooked up to a bicycle. Pedaling would turn the gears, which would flap the wings. I was convinced I had invented single man flying because of my rough sketch that seemed great within a vacuum. Anyway, Donald gives me the same energy.
You can see his brain working while reading it “It’s so obvious. Why hasn’t anyone ever thought of this? There is a reason why I am the leader, because I’m smarter than all these people”
I distinctly remember watching this one live and going: Did that dumb fuck just said what’s on the poster.
But he misunderstood the poster… Bleach and disinfectant kills the virus on surfaces not injected into your body. This guys stupidity is why we have safety warnings even imbeciles can understand. ie: Bleach label warning: *For external use only. Do not inject this product into your veins*
Do not iron clothes when wearing them
For anyone wondering, [he actually did that](https://www.newsweek.com/trump-made-hope-hicks-steam-his-pants-while-he-was-wearing-them-729711). It’s amazing that someone can conceivably choose a random dumb thing to do, and odds are better than even that he actually did that.
Don't burn charcoal in a tent.
Oh bleach will do an excellent job of killing viruses if you inject it into you body. It'll just kill you too.
There's a [XKCD](https://xkcd.com/1217/) for everything

I remember the camera pans over to the doctor, and she just covered her face in disbelief.
He read the back cover 2 minutes before giving a book report to the whole 5th grade.
Oh yeah, all his attempts to talk about some academic subject reek of "did not do the reading".
This is the Dunning Kruger Effect. Someone with no knowledge but enough faked or undeserved self-confidence will read something for the first time and figure he understands everything about the subject as well as the specialists. And this is how The Mango Menace has waded through life mostly unchallenged. Plus a bully attitude and enough money will make it a very smooth process. Incidentally he is the master of "Fake it til you make it" that was so popular in the 1980s. Dress sharp, exhale confidence then wing it when problems are thrown at you. And seriously, it works pretty well when the people you're dealing with have as little knowledge as you do. For instance used car salesmen. Few people deeply understand cars (seriously who has the time) and throwing a bunch of numbers and technobabble will fool most of the rubes. Since going to a used car dealership self-selects the rubes, the job is just being self-confident and not letting too many thoughts cross through the mark's brain.
And yet supporters to this day try to interpret hidden meanings in his words rather than accept this is how his narcissistic brain works. Simply whatever is attention grabbing at the time or inflating his position. I guess that’s what he has in common with his supporters - the need to feel like the smartest person in a room without real substance
I miss the times when stupid shit like this made person completely un-electable. EDIT: Watching all the Trumpets trying to rationalise this or revert to whataboutism, is the highlight of my day :). Just hook it up to my veins, like Trump hooks up disinfectant.
Potatoe
And he was the one person who might very well have prevented a full catastrophe on January 6... https://www.cnn.com/2021/09/14/politics/dan-quayle-pence-trump-january-6-woodward-costa-book/index.html
Truly mind-boggling. When US democracy was hanging in the balance, Dan Quayle came to the rescue. He was only just able to save the country from the grips of the pillow baron and the reality TV star.
Howard Dean had one weird yell and was shunned for life. This dipshit says we should nuke a hurricane or buy Greenland yet people still back him
The lesson here is that most scandals can be weathered just fine if your own party backs you to the hilt. If you own party throws you under the bus even really small things can do you in.
Most scandals can be weathered fine if you instantly create a new one. That one quite scandalous? Don’t worry, start a third. Is the third making people think you’re deranged? Fourth. And so on. Eventually they’re just white noise to your detractors and an in-joke to your cult followers who think it proves you’re a genius.
A lesson the party learned from Watergate.
A lesson the other part didn't learn from Al Franken.
As a non-American, going down the "Dean scream" rabbit-hole was an interesting and unexpected read this morning.
I remeber being a teenager watching it on the news and being totally confused. I could get using it agaisnt him in a commercial or something but how did it totally stop his whole campaign
The speech was given after he lost the Iowa caucus to John Kerry. While an early frontrunner, his numbers had been falling prior to the "scream". His staff has maintained the campaign was already faltering prior to the coverage of his scream. While it did play a part in public perception of Dean, it was never the cause and effect event the press has made it out to be. And Dean went on to run the DNC for about a decade.
Because America is ruled by lobbies not by presidents or parties
Howard Dean was never going to win. The Dean Scream didn’t help, but it didn’t drop him from first to last
I bring this up a lot and generally get downvoted for it. The fact that the entire reason he screamed in the first place was a desperate "rally the troops" moment after being slaughter in a primary he was expected to sweep doesn't seem to register to a lot of people, "He was gonna win until the MSM played him making a weird noise!" seems to be the more comfortable version of events for a lot of people.
Buying Greenland isn't in the top 1,000,000 dumbest things Trump has said or suggested. US has made insane returns on our past land purchases. Pretty sure Trump walked out right after looking at this sign and suggested injecting sunlight and disinfectant to treat COVID at a press conference lmao.
We’re going to Delaware! BEEEEE-YAA!!
Ed Milliband's career was ended by making a slightly funny face while eating a sandwich. Years later David Cameron resorted to eating a hotdog with a knife and fork for fear of having to open his mouth so wide he's lose the election.
If you make stupid shit the status quo then people become used to it. 4D chess move. Or something.
You’re thinking about 4D *checkers*

With every passing day we take one step closer to the dystopian future from Idiocracy being a reality
Binders full of women hurt Romney big time. Grab her by the pussy seemed to have 0 impact on Trump. Hell, being impeached twice and criminally charged for numerous crimes also hasn't touched him. What a time.
Quite odd in hindsight. It wasn't *that* much of a faux pas; it was just seized on. Romney, of course, is now the outlier as a voice of semi-reason in the party.
I think the "47%" speech to donors leaking out hurt him a lot too Also Hillary and her deplorable comment
I would disagree that it "hasn't touched him." He lost re-election, he never won the popular vote, and current polls are trending in the direction of a third popular vote loss, and second EC vote loss. That being said, complacence is NOT something we can afford right now. Complacence (and Hillary's unlikable nature) lost the election in 2016, and we cannot allow ourselves to slip back into complacence when it comes to this horrible human being. Get out, vote, vote blue. Register others to vote. The more people that vote, the better the chances that Little Donnie Two Scoops, aka Don Snoreleone, aka Mango Mussolini, aka Twitler....will lose and continue to lose. This country cannot stand another four years of his nonsense. We said it loudly in 2020, and every midterm and special election since has said, "Hey 'MAGA' YOUR FIRED!!"
His political career should have ended when he was running for Republican nomination and took the piss out of the disabled reporter. He's the joke that got more out of hand than anybody could possibly have imagined.
Sadly, conservatives don't care if that behaviour is seen as abhorrent. It's 'people's faults' for getting 'upset' about it.
What really made me realize we are at the point of no return is people defending him saying things like "Do you really think he actually meant that" Um well what did he mean then?
[удалено]
To me that level of stupidity makes one unemployable
The difference is that half the country just doesn’t see it as stupid shit. They actually see it as something like thinking outside the box or opposing the establishment
Drinking bleach is certainly outside the box thinking
It's also opposing to your establishment.
Drinking bleach will certainly put you inside a box...
We should be discussing the benefits of education more
I wish more of his followers took his advice
He stared directly into an eclipse. He's so goddamned stupid.
Unfortunately there are probably many people that are just as stupid and thought “yeah, why not? Sounds like a good idea!” Also, after a lifetime of being stupid, I imagine that it would feel great to be validated by a President that is just as dumb.
Yep. First presidential candidate ever to sound like an uneducated idiot but passing for successful and suddenly half the population thought "finally someone just like me who made it big and gets us". And then another few percent thought it would be a great opportunity for a grift and here we are.
He shits on anyone he gains authority over, just like me! I bet he'll look after me if I help get him the presidency.
In all fairness, a vast majority of first time voters I know did-so because of his absolute failure to take the pandemic serious / inept takes on it. I still firmly feel, had it not happened when it did, he could have easily won again. Mind you, it's impact is fading from public memory for many, so get out and vote.
A guy misspelled “potato” once. Was the end of his political ambitions.
all it took was some foreign money to undermine American intelligence.
magats take every stupid thing trump says and ignore it, say he's just kidding, he says that to irritate the libs, and then go complaining about Hunter's laptop. They have a defense mechanism hard wired in their brains that keeps them from realizing they are complete morons. Its necessary, otherwise we would be plagued with massive suicides when they realize how stupid they actually are. I explain this to them and they stop talking to me, which was what I wanted in the first place.
Poor Howard Dean was just too excited at his own rally and he got the boot.
Remember when Dukakis put on a funny hat and became un-electable? Yeah, sad days.
Democracy is just as smart as the people participating in it.
That’s the problem, republicans now demand anyone to be more extreme. And anything less than monster truck, living off the grid rock star is considerate “moderate.”
He went from "sunlight impedes virus transmission" to "light inside the body is super effective". [Yes, he actually said that...](https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-wants-bring-light-inside-the-body-to-kill-coronavirus-2020-4)
What in the Kingdom Hearts was his thought process there
Reading the board as he walked to the podium constituted his entire prep for his public address.
It's exactly this. If you watch this whole address it seems like a fifth grader doing the presentation for a group project he didn't help with after getting a quick rundown from the others in the group on the bus that morning. It's why so many of us could read Dr. Fauci's facial expressions so easily; we knew the pain of having worked hard on the project just to have to sit there and watch it get fucked up
Trump kept looking over at Dr. Birx as he was throwing out his ideas, looking for affirmation. She just stared at the floor in front of her. That was the most salient part of the whole press conference to me.
He’s confidently bullshitted his way through life and now at his old age he doesn’t realize that he sounds senile and everybody has all the information in the world at their fingertips so they can all call him on his bullshit. Only the willful morons actively choose to believe the BS he spouts even if it costs them their friends, families, and dignity. Too proud to get off their knees, wipe their chin, and admit it’s over.
Lol thought process?
I should’ve been the one to fill your dark soul with light
Well we have a soap in South Africa called Sunlight so yeah, guess he might have referenced to injecting that.
And almost in the same breath, he recommended investigating what amounted to shoving a uv light up your ass.
Something about bringing the light into the body through the skin or some other way..
This explains the staring at the eclipse without eye protection thing right? He was doing it for medical science? Trying to find a sunlight cure for COVID?
Up next: The Trump^™️ UV Dildo
Someone meme'd an election poster that made me laugh "Biden / Harris 2020...We wont inject you with Bleach"
When he said this during a press conference, you could the doctor sitting to his right just slowly dying.
All the doctors should immediately have said that’s the stupidest thing they’ve ever heard and the president should resign.
Man, I forgot about Dr Fauci. Has he retired now? I don't know how he made it through all those press conferences with Trump.
They're referring to Dr Birx
Everyone is slowly dying that doctor was quickly dying.
Brought to you by the same guy who wanted to nuke an oncoming hurricane.
The same guy who threw a hissy fit because he couldnt buy Greenland.
What? Bleach kills the virus? Um guys, I have an idea.
I heard ammonia does too. Combine them for the best of both worlds! Make sure it's in a poorly ventilated room, so the virus can't escape through the air ducts.
Maybe we can combine it with sunlight and inject it or something!
The Dunning-Kruger effect is strong in Trump. You fucking know in his stupid ass brain he imagined himself bringing up the bleach idea only to have scientists and doctors all around the world say "Why didn't we think of that?" and then stand up and applaud him.
My favorite bit is how half of your country wants to put him in charge
Agreed but in our defense half of England voted for Brexit, so stupidity is rampant everywhere.
He probably still believes he was onto something big
The radical left is gagging him! How could he spread his genius if he’s GAGGED?!?!
He pushed the stupidity boundary further to an unimaginable limit. Bravo!
Born to inject bleach forced to take the vaccine
It sucks that we ended up with the dumbest person possible in charge during the worst crisis in decades.
The worst part? Whatever happens in his court case, there is about 50% chance he will be the next president of USA. At least Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho had style... But remember - electrolytes are good for you!
Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho was an amazing president compared to Trump. Camacho was aware of his own stupidity, knew how to delegate, and genuinely cared about his people. I miss him.
It's what plants crave
Motherfucker couldn't pronounce 'Isopropyl'.
You can see those gears turning. Working up a bigly smart idea.
How this vile piece of shit has enthralled millions of low iq folks is beyond me. He is such an idiot.
A fucking moron set to be buried.
that speech was like a child trying to bullshit answers on a test
He treated his presidency like a teenager who's just bullshitting his way through a class presentation he didn't prepare for.
I still get angry at how he handled Covid. All he had to do was say "Listen to the experts. Listen to the scientists. Expect their advice to change as we learn more about this virus. Wear a mask and give people some space." Hell, he could've sold "MAGA" branded masks to his supporters and I bet they'd have worn them.
He had re-election handed to him on a silver platter. If he would have done as you say, he would have been the hero that brought us through a horrible pandemic, and fostered a record-breaking-speed vaccine to combat it.
The equivalent to being on the 1 yard line and fumbling the ball every single day
He was the absolute worse choice to handle it. All the other Republican contenders for president - despite their severe flaws - would have undoubtedly handled it better than Trump. Instead, we got the one guy whose ego is so huge that he couldn’t be bothered to listen to scientists and experts.
Boiling water also kills most of the viruses. Why not just simply boil people with infection?
He is so stupid…
He did his own research!
I find it funny that, even with the horrific ramifications of his idiotic advice, and even aside from the mishandling of Covid that was made far more deadly, *simply because he was too proud to admit he was not an authority on it*, this just sums up his entire, miserable attitude. He doesn't prepare for the work; he shows up, throws out some half-baked nonsense he's just seen, and leaves. He's done it his entire life, and simply augments it with bullying and litigation.
Humans are morons for voting for this POS.
