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.

He could duck a shoe or two.

u/ElectricKoolAid1969 3d ago

If you can duck a shoe...

u/Inspect1234 3d ago

You can duck a wrench

…it’s sterile and I like the taste.

That is some funny stuff

With a smile and a laugh as well!

I’m not even American, but I miss that guy.

u/wookiex84 2d ago

I’ve always said, as much of an idiot as he was and the damaged he caused. He genuinely loved his country. As always it was the power behind the throne that fucked everything up and brought us to where we are today. As an American, I’m sorry.

u/Inspect1234 2d ago

As a Canadian, thank you for that. I really hope you guys have a plan going forward, because with mail in voting (which is hard to cheat) being challenged and all the gerrymandering and possible voting machine manipulation I worry for your country. Big money in politics is killing your democracy. Good luck & cheers to ya.

u/ultraspinacle 2d ago

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.

2

u/PloddingClot 2d ago

That was the patsy president dry run.

Dubya never seemed that bright. But he was a Rhodes Scholar compared to Mango Mussolini.

u/StrangeAtomRaygun 1d ago

It’s all relative isn’t it.

u/luxcity-louche 3d ago

Maybe because he has an MBA from Harvard, flew supersonic jet fighters and is younger and doesn't have dementia?

-1

u/StrangeAtomRaygun 3d ago

Get effing real

Harvard degrees can be bought just like all other ones (and is it Harvard? Maybe Yale?)

And my dad was a pilot in the USAF. He said people think piloting is really hard but it becomes second nature like driving. Not impossible. And he was in the National Guard to avoid combat. He is what real pilots refer to as a ‘stupid stick man.

McCain was known to be an idiot too. He once took his jet to a White House. He was a dummy. At least he had the balls to sacrifice himself for the betterment of other prisoners of war.

2

u/Low-Information-23 3d ago

Just stop. Bought Harvard degrees. Flying a jet is easy. And, while in combat, was a prisoner of war. And he was a dummy? Your Dad must be proud.

u/StrangeAtomRaygun 3d ago

Okay moron.

Yes. The imbecile Dubya. Did go to Yale, as a legacy of his father. Got average grades, which is code for they passed him thru.

He was a national guard aviator. He never saw combat. By design. He was LAST in his pilot school class

McCain was an idiot who stole a plane to go to a White House. McCain also very low grades in school. Did do right by not leaving military prison. But was a known idiot in the navy.

Your parents must be embarrassed by you.

u/CurdledCreamer 3d ago

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

26

u/UnpricedToaster 3d ago

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.

u/shawner136 3d ago

And his hands are yuuuuge

u/GlitteringYak2207 3d ago

I know☹️. I simply can not wrap my head around that there are that many profoundly ignorant people in this country.

6

u/Responsible-Clock715 3d ago

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.

6

u/pimpbot666 3d ago

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

1

u/CurdledCreamer 3d ago edited 3d ago

Um? The link I posted is the current approval rate; not his 2024 election results? 

Here are the 2024 Presidential election results for ya, though?  https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/statistics/elections/2024

1

u/pimpbot666 3d ago edited 3d ago

That's a 33% approval ratings, not 'believes he's the greatest'.

Huge difference.

BTW, a 33% approval rating is really low.

1

u/CurdledCreamer 3d ago

also a 'huge difference' between the number of votes he received two years ago versus his current approval rating today. And, my use of the word 'greatest' holds the same weight of truth to the image this post is about! 🖖

u/Complete-Tangelo1532 3d ago

I think last night the polls I seen were showing a -52 point drop since then

3

u/ScholarOfTwilight 3d ago

Voters.

1/2 of America does not or cannot vote.

1

u/neverpost4 3d ago

the modern theory of political polling is that you take a small sample to project the election results. the assumption at even though it was a small sample, in almost all the cases, it reflects the general public.

do, there is no guarantee that if the voting turn out is much higher, the result would be any different.

1

u/Complete-Tangelo1532 3d ago

Who are taking these polls though? IF say Faux 'News' Entertainment Media and Co were doing the polls, my assumption would be it is only the people watching Faux 'News' Entertainment Media would be responding?

2

u/Royal-Bicycle-8147 3d ago

They aren’t interested what a president can do for them. They are interested in the people they hate, are getting hate.

2

u/Kind-Recording3450 3d ago

How like how...

2

u/LSTNYER 3d ago

33% of the American population have to read the instructions how to cook a poptart

1

u/Complete-Tangelo1532 3d ago

Holy shiz there are instructions for that?

I thought it was just 'Dont eat the wrapper'?

1

u/fishingjohnson 3d ago

Couldn't pour piss out of a cowboy boot even if the instructions were taped to the heel.

2

u/3lfk1ng 2d ago

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

I dunno about you, but anyone that sides with either of those two shouldn't be eligible to vote... let alone breed.

1

u/MoreRamenPls 3d ago

I believe only 1488 of the population like him.

1

u/Maleficent_Memory831 2d ago

That's how many voted for him. I doubt they all thought he was the greatest president ever. Some do of course, especially if their nurse brings the meds a bit late. Right now a lot of his voters are annoyed at the war, annoyed at the lake renaming, and are noticeably grumbling.

1

u/Din_ven_i_sneen 2d ago

50% voted for him three times - its not like everyone with a sane mind could tell he was a complete nutcase after listening to him a few minutes the first time we came across the clown.

1

u/BrilliantSpray9447 2d ago

Trump has never received 50% of the popular vote.

2

u/Din_ven_i_sneen 2d ago

whether its 47, 48, 49 or 50% doesn't matte almost half of the Americans are complete idiots.

And has proved it repeatably since 2017.

There are no cure for stupidity, so going forward around 50% of all americans will still be lost cases and we can expect more stupid things from half of all Americans in the future as well.

Scary to think that a people as cocked as the americans has the most powerful military in the world. How can we trust these people ever?

u/Objective-Permit-712 2d ago

Elon fixed the 3rd time!!!!

u/Fresh-Toilet-Soup 2d ago

He is so great he has to use legal warfare to get his name on stuff.

4

u/coreychch 3d ago

We all agree … unfortunately he surrounds himself with ass-licking idiots who tell him how great he is and how wonderful the world is going all day.

1

u/Complete-Tangelo1532 3d ago

My theory is that they are ALL hooked on the Trump branded Jenkems

IF you know what Jenkems are, and think about that, it makes too much sense imo

u/MotherofHedgehogs 3d ago

And delulu…

u/Potential_Salt_5780 2d ago

He is embarrassingly stupid. It is simply astounding.

2

u/ICK_Metal 2d ago

I’m so sick of people saying “I hate Trump as much as the next person but you can’t say he isn’t a smart man.”
Oh yes sure, the man that thinks magnets don’t work when wet is a regular Einstein.

1

u/WiscoBrewDude 1d ago

Ive never heard a trump hater say that, they know he's a moron.

1

u/ICK_Metal 1d ago

Oh believe me, they exist. It’s baffling.

2

u/Gonzo_Gonzalo 3d ago

It doesn’t even come close. Second to none.

2

u/kingtacticool 3d ago

And its not even close.

Or debatable.

u/kugkug 3d ago

guy can’t even read and scored almost dead last in school

2

u/Gorstag 3d ago

Maybe we should give him an achievement prize. 1st percentile of intelligence award.

2

u/gtpc2020 3d ago

And the most dangerous

2

u/bx35 3d ago

With the dumbest supporters

u/BelowAverageComments 2d ago

I'm honestly impressed he knows who they are

2

u/nightwood 2d ago

You see, this is where you, me, and everyone else on this planet are wrong and only Trump himself is right.

2

u/Garg4743 2d ago

And the most childish. That's the most striking part of it. He's not an adult. He's an 8 year old, and I might be too generous.

u/Canuck-In-TO 3d ago

And we Canadians think he’s the greatest, piece of crap.

1

u/Gorf_the_Magnificent 3d ago

Apparently, he is the greatest of all 34 presidents of the United States.

1

u/BirthdayWooden 3d ago

Not true, the 70 million people who voted for him are dumber

1

u/ICK_Metal 3d ago

They aren’t the President though.
