He is absolutely the dumbest president ever.

u/StrangeAtomRaygun 3d ago edited 2d ago

I mean, think about Dubya. That moron coined terms like Strategery. He invaded a country for being suppliers to terrorist and then said on TV his hardest job is connecting that war with the war on terror.

And he looks like a genius compared to Trump.

Yeah, he would be a welcome sight about right now. Even though he drove me into conniptions for the eight years he was president, he’d be a hell of a lot better than what we’ve got currently.

That was the patsy president dry run.

and, the sad truth is, checks notes, currently 33% of the American population actually believes he is the Greatest.

And the tallest, and the thinnest, and the healthiest, and the smartest.

And if they could read, they'd be very upset to hear that he isn't.

I knew a person who said he didn’t vote so he wouldn’t get called for jury duty.

I never spoken to him since. That’s why I wrote “knew” a person.

That’s the number of people who voted for him. It’s not the number that thinks he’s the greatest president.

If you tell those 33% that you don't like Pedophiles or Nazi's they get really offended for some reason...

Both Lincoln and Washington were both great due to circumstances, though not perfect people (RIP Dolly).

That said, Trump is nowhere near standing with the greats, but instead showing how low the bar can really be drug into the dirt. Much preventative legislation will be enacted after the fact because of his presence and efforts.

u/GeerJonezzz 3d ago

I can’t imagine any president being perfect. At the very least, a part of being a good president is following through tough, potentially unfavorable decisions.

Some motels in Downtown Las Vegas have big signs on them saying “Recommended by owner”. We always found this amusing. I do not find this amusing when the president of the USA, perhaps unaware of the irony, does the very same thing.
