Like how he would have been richer investing his inheritance, instead he convinced himself he is smartest the smartest man in the room????? I mean his MONEY was better off napping too 😂
I once had an investor show me the math that had Chump invested his money into just the Nasdaq and Dow Jones indexes in 1980, his net worth would have been over $10B in 2015. At the time he projected it out, based on the Nasdaq and Dow Jones patterns up to that point, that he would have been worth $30B by 2030, by simply re-investing.
Yes, I know they are indexes and you cannot invest in them directly, he was just using the index's growth and valuation patterns as stand-ins for actual stocks.
President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho looks not only relatively intelligent and rational but most importantly morally decent compared to certain current politicians.
The most important and surprisingly intelligent action by Camacho was to recognize the superior intelligence of Joe and to seek his advice on matter critical for the country. The current US president fails to do this at every turn.
I watched that one with some friends, then later that day I was telling my wife about it.
Now for context, we live in Sweden, but she's from the US originally.
So after I explain the premise of the two main characters, she just sighs wistfully and goes "I wish the US had bumbling but well meaning John Cena as president..."
I remember when GWB flubbed the expression “fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me”.
Some online people took that as in indication that he was a sociopath who was physically incapable of saying “shame on me”. People grasped at this for MONTHS.
Now we have a president who pretty much says “IM A SOCIOPATH WHO FEELS NO SHAME” on a daily basis.
Can’t get fooled again! I’m not from USA but feel for you, and the rest of us also, because his idiocy unfortunately isn’t contained within just your country.
"Bushisms" were totally a thing, especially for his second term. Some of my faves:
"Rarely is the question asked, is our children learning?"
"They misunderestimated me."
"I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully."
"Families is where nations find hope, where wings take dream."
"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."
"We must stop the terror. I call upon all nations, to do everything they can, to stop these terrorist killers. Thank you...now watch this drive."
And of course your possibly crowning example:
"There's an old saying in Tennessee—I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee—that says, 'Fool me once, shame on...shame on you.' Fool me—you can't get fooled again."
My SO of 30 years mixes his metaphors. After 25 years I became convinced he does it on purpose. Its his form of comedy. So, I try to be generous and laugh out loud at him, every time.
I never really saw bush Jr as stupid however he did make alot of poor choices. But even the smartest people make bad decisions. That said bush looks like Einstein compared to trump
Do you remember Dan Quayle not spelling Potatoes correctly and it effectively ended his political career? Or when Howard Dean enthusiastically yelled at a rally and it ended his presidential run? Yeah, good times.
I hate the guy, but I'm pretty sure that at least on politifact it says that this wasn't true. He did however, recently say that smart people don't like him
I was wondering about that, because I'm not sure quite what the effect of Puerto Rico's status is. It's a US territory but not a state, so... they have the same head of state, but some sort of relatively independent government compared to a state?
No income tax is a bone conservatives through to the masses to distract them from the fact that they will cut as many benefits as possible.
Take the BBB tax plan, no tax on overtime (specifically the overtime pay, either the time in a half or double time portion) or no tax on tips to 25k or whatever. These are pittance compared to inflation from tariffs.
Also, the lack of income tax helps the wealthy even more.
So I don't know exactly how Puerto ricos legal status works in practice but in general because of the electoral college you have to be a state to vote for president (excepts for dc) as well as voting representatives and senators (which does apply to dc) so Puerto rico has no power to effect the national government through voting. Now Im just guessing here but it's possible them not being a state gives them even less independence as they don't have the same constitutionally guaranteed rights as a state so Congress can just override local government whenever it feels like without it going to the supreme Court like in dc.
I looked it up (before posting the previous comment) and apparently many don't pay federal income tax, but (a) some do and (b) there are other federal taxes they aren't mostly exempt from.
they saw people saying "not my president" and generally understood the message, or assumed everyone who didn't vote for him literally thought he was not their literal president. Or both. Same general concept we've seen for 10 years, idiots seeing a phrase and trying to coopt it.
Important context missing from this post: the original post said "from your country". So presumably the American was trying to "correct" the Peurto Rican by pointing out that Trump is from the USA.
Yes. Yes they are. See in MAGAland that doesn't sound batshit crazy, because trump can't lie. That means it must be true, and some terrible thing emperor trump discovered and quashed.
I recently had to remind the woman working at the post office that Puerto Rico wouldn’t be found in the international postal rates.
She was flipping through them on her machine getting more irritated and confused when she couldn’t find it as I feebly suggested three times that she might try looking domestically.
I flew to PR once and at the airport the person at the luggage check counter kept insisting that I needed a passport to go to Puerto Rico. They just couldn't wrap their head around it being part of the country we were in.
Back in the 70s or 80s, Ann Landers (advice columnist) published a letter from a reader who had been told with some insistence by the local Postmaster that sending a letter or card to New Mexico required extra postage.
The Governor of Hawaii was in Las Vegas for a tourism industry trade show. To make getting to the convention easier he stayed on The Strip*. Upon hearing his guest was from Hawaii, the desk clerk demanded to see his passport before honoring his reservation. He saw the Governor's drivers license, to no avail. Management had to called in to resolve the issue.
* One reason why it was not unthinkable for this to happen is that while Hawaiians who can afford to travel love to visit Las Vegas they tend to stay a Downtown resorts (who market heavily there) or at the homes of their family who live there. Vegas is considered the "9th island." If you had experience in the resort industry the jobs were more plentiful and the ratio of pay to CoL was a good bit better. So while Hawaiians are commonly encountered in Las Vegas, they rarely stayed at the resorts on The Strip.
I know someone who cannot seem to comprehend the difference between Mexico and New Mexico. She keeps saying she has a cousin who lives in Mexico. Like, she’ll say that if something about Mexico comes on tv. And every time, I have to say “No, your cousin lives in Santa Fe. That’s in New Mexico.” And then she says “whatever, same thing.” “No! It’s not! At all!”
ETA: And she really should understand the concept, because she’s from NEW Jersey. She’s probably not even aware there’s an old Jersey, come to think of it. Ugh.
Tbf it's only just dawned on me why New York, Jersey, Hampshire have the "New" prefix. New Jersey specifically made me wonder where in the US Old Jersey might have been.
But I'm not American and often forget that you guys were a colony.
It's not so far-fetched that someone might soon get the idea to rename the English Channel the American Channel, because Jersey is located there, and that belongs to the US after all! /s
I was born in New Mexico, I have had to explain that New Mexico is indeed a part of the United States.
I had a Puerto Rican coworker who had to get the local US consulate to convince the local grade school principal that Puerto Rico is part of the US and that she didn’t need a green card to work here. (This was in Florida)
They just showed that video were hertz refused to rent to this guy cause they claimed he needed a passport. Didn’t understand Puerto Rico isn’t a foreign country.
I made a joke on this one that it's almost unfair to include Americans in a question like that since we easily have the dumbest politicians on the planet, possibly in human history.
And now we're getting reminders that the people who vote for Republicans are even dumber than that! There are times when I wonder how many of them are just barely verbal.
Yes, and back then India was part of the British Empire.
Puerto Rico is an "unincorporated territory" so it is part of the US but without some of the rights of the states. Like being able to vote in federal elections. Puerto Ricans are US Citizens and the US President is their head of state.
I know that YOU know this, just adding some more information for those who don't.
Weird to be flexing about the stupidity of your country's leader (over someone who's basically from the same country...or territory in this case) but okay.
I was thinking "nobody knows how magnets work", followed by "I know more about magnets than anyone" and "they stop working when they are wet" might be his stupidest statements.
Sorta reminds me of the 20-something young lady who got very irate at how "stupid the people who believe Hawaii is a state because it's, like, literally, an island in the middle of the ocean!" I think, instead of the 10 Commandments, we should have pull-down maps and globes in every classroom. FFS, I'm tired, y'all!
I mean, I sure as shit didn't vote for him, but he's undeniably my president until the rest of the government decides to rid us of the national disgrace that's currently squatting in the White House.
You have it backwards. The Puerto Rican is the one arguing that Trump is his President. The Trump supporter is the one arguing that Trump isn't the President of Puerto Rico.
Could be tongue in cheek talking about how Trump has hinted at Puerto Rico not being part of the US. If i recall he once said he had a phone call with "the President of Puerto Rico."
They also didn't even bother to fully understand the question. It didn't specify that the politician had to be from your own country, it just says "a politician." Regardless of who provides this as an answer, it's still correct as this was pretty dumb.
So they're supposed to wish that the guy that said something that stupid was their president? When in fact he is their president? This person has multi-faceted idiocy.
Let’s just all collectively remember that according to the latest statistics nearly 1/2 of the country reads below the 6th grade level. Have no expectations of the general populace. Like Ricky Gervais said “When you’re dead, you don’t know you’re dead. It’s only painful and difficult for others. The same applies when you’re stupid.”
I’m fairly certain they’re both confidently incorrect. One for assuming Puerto Rico isn’t a territory of the US and the other for thinking that’s the dumbest thing Trump ever said. Heck, I doubt it was the dumbest thing he said that month.
You say you paid attention, so I must assume you're not American. What with all the flag worship and active shooter drills, Americans don't have much time for school.

“i love the poorly educated!” -his president
Im not even sure either of these statements were top 10 stupidest things he has said
I remember when Bush was seen as the stupidest president the USA ever had.
Yes, me too.
The Bush era being the golden age of the Republican party was not on my bingo card.
Man I watched that movie where John Cena was president a few months back and actually thought " I would kill to have John Cena as president right now"
Cena is actually fairly well spoken
The average house cat could outperform the current administration simply by napping all day
Like how he would have been richer investing his inheritance, instead he convinced himself he is smartest the smartest man in the room????? I mean his MONEY was better off napping too 😂
I once had an investor show me the math that had Chump invested his money into just the Nasdaq and Dow Jones indexes in 1980, his net worth would have been over $10B in 2015. At the time he projected it out, based on the Nasdaq and Dow Jones patterns up to that point, that he would have been worth $30B by 2030, by simply re-investing.
Yes, I know they are indexes and you cannot invest in them directly, he was just using the index's growth and valuation patterns as stand-ins for actual stocks.
Isn't that also the current administration?
I wish. He'd be less harmful if he did.
Nah, they doomscroll and shit post all day.
Dude takes his coffee prep very seriously and will wax poetic about the virtues of places that know how to make a proper cup of java
As an ex-barista from the pre-Starbucks days that just makes him a man of culture in my eyes.
Kidding, not-kidding.
Enjoy!
Yes Cena is a very decent human but before this year it thought of wanting him to be president would simply not have occurred
Someone did have a similar idea in 2006.
I dunno, apparently sleepy Don falls asleep during all his briefings to and he's destroying stuff left and right.
I'd vote for Comache at this point.
President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho looks not only relatively intelligent and rational but most importantly morally decent compared to certain current politicians.
Are you referring to the clown car cabinet or members of congress?
The most important and surprisingly intelligent action by Camacho was to recognize the superior intelligence of Joe and to seek his advice on matter critical for the country. The current US president fails to do this at every turn.
I'd vote for my boxer dog. She's goofy but wicked smart. Comedy takes brains.
Right??
I watched that one with some friends, then later that day I was telling my wife about it.
Now for context, we live in Sweden, but she's from the US originally.
So after I explain the premise of the two main characters, she just sighs wistfully and goes "I wish the US had bumbling but well meaning John Cena as president..."
😅
With that stupid begging dog look on his face
Trump?
GW
I remember when GWB flubbed the expression “fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me”.
Some online people took that as in indication that he was a sociopath who was physically incapable of saying “shame on me”. People grasped at this for MONTHS.
Now we have a president who pretty much says “IM A SOCIOPATH WHO FEELS NO SHAME” on a daily basis.
Can’t get fooled again! I’m not from USA but feel for you, and the rest of us also, because his idiocy unfortunately isn’t contained within just your country.
"Bushisms" were totally a thing, especially for his second term. Some of my faves:
And of course your possibly crowning example:
🤣
I'd somehow managed to forget the "and neither do we" one.
That's just fantastic. 😅
My SO of 30 years mixes his metaphors. After 25 years I became convinced he does it on purpose. Its his form of comedy. So, I try to be generous and laugh out loud at him, every time.
Haha. Well, that's sweet of you. 👍
My wife will definitely get a kick out of the anecdote. 😅
Glad I could help. Its good to share life with someone who makes you laugh.
That certainly is the truth.
Wishing you many more happy years with yours! 👍
Too many OB/GYN's aren't able to practice their love with women all across the country
Gods. I remember when the proper spelling of "potato" was the big example of (vice-)presidential stupidity. (Dan Quayle)
That literally ended his political career too! He became the poster boy for being dumb after that
"Murph, it's Dan Quayle! Tommorrow, he'll get his head stuck in his golf bag, and people will forget all about you."- Frank Fontana
And that whoop that ended Howard Dean. Oh the good ol’ days when politicians had the capacity for embarrassment and slinking off…
How far we’ve come 🤦🏽♀️
Oh, those were the days. I miss having a president who was only a normal amount of stupid and not incredibly, inutterably stupid.
I never really saw bush Jr as stupid however he did make alot of poor choices. But even the smartest people make bad decisions. That said bush looks like Einstein compared to trump
I remember when Nixon was thought to be the peak of corruption...rumpist said "hold my big mac"
I have a (still hilarious) book of Bushisms. I wish we were at that level of stupid. And racism. And all the other things.
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Do you remember Dan Quayle not spelling Potatoes correctly and it effectively ended his political career? Or when Howard Dean enthusiastically yelled at a rally and it ended his presidential run? Yeah, good times.
“Now watch this drive.”
Ahh... the good old days.
I would take Bush over Trump.
They need to make it top 500 just for him.
This should be fun. Let's all try and name the dumbest thing he's ever said. To start "injecting disinfectant inside the body" has gotta be up there.
It's not even dumb for presidents to love the poorly education
Actually it might be the smartest thing he ever said
The selection is so large that it is naturally difficult to decide or even to create an objective worst list.
I know it's everyday. Off the top of my head: Nuking hurricanes, injecting bleach and US being allies for 1000's of years with Ancient Rome
Just most honest
At least that's coherent. This is the guy who thinks he solved peace between countries that are nowhere close to each other.
“Smart people don’t like me” - also his president
MAGA simply cannot fathom that 3 million Spanish-speaking, brown & black residents of a US territory are citizens, just like they are.
If PR was a state, it'd have 3 or 4 US Congressional representatives. It's like MAGA's worst nightmare.
And two Senators as well.
"Smart people don't like me" -also his president
I met the president of Puerto Rico
I hate the guy, but I'm pretty sure that at least on politifact it says that this wasn't true. He did however, recently say that smart people don't like him
it says what isn’t true? the fact that he said that?
https://youtu.be/O9F6EAMPky4?si=PQG8vEcND-xcECnO
He's his president he just doesn't get to choose him
I was wondering about that, because I'm not sure quite what the effect of Puerto Rico's status is. It's a US territory but not a state, so... they have the same head of state, but some sort of relatively independent government compared to a state?
No, they don’t really have more independence than states do. They do get fewer benefits, though, so . . . kind of a lose-lose situation.
So more Puerto Pobre then?
They mostly don't pay income tax, so that's something.
No income tax is a bone conservatives through to the masses to distract them from the fact that they will cut as many benefits as possible.
Take the BBB tax plan, no tax on overtime (specifically the overtime pay, either the time in a half or double time portion) or no tax on tips to 25k or whatever. These are pittance compared to inflation from tariffs.
Also, the lack of income tax helps the wealthy even more.
Of course. It's something, just not much of a thing.
Also some people get paper towels chucked at them after hurricanes.
So I don't know exactly how Puerto ricos legal status works in practice but in general because of the electoral college you have to be a state to vote for president (excepts for dc) as well as voting representatives and senators (which does apply to dc) so Puerto rico has no power to effect the national government through voting. Now Im just guessing here but it's possible them not being a state gives them even less independence as they don't have the same constitutionally guaranteed rights as a state so Congress can just override local government whenever it feels like without it going to the supreme Court like in dc.
That would make sense. I was imagining they might not be governed by Congress at all.
(Congress is an archaic euphemism for fucking. Now that's a system of government we should try...)
They have their own government (for the most part) for day to day activities, there is a Governor. But yeah, Fed has a final say.
PR has non-voting representation in both the House and Senate. One person each, they can sit on Committees, but they can't vote on bills.
Puerto Ricans living in other states can vote.
Puerto Rico is ironically similar to what the 13 colonies were to England, except I guess the taxation thing.
I'm not sure about that. More like some of the other British-controlled territories towards the end of the empire, though.
Basically, they get to enjoy taxation, just not representation. Traditionally, Americans do not consider this a big deal.
I thought Puerto Rican folks don't pay income tax while on the island?
I looked it up (before posting the previous comment) and apparently many don't pay federal income tax, but (a) some do and (b) there are other federal taxes they aren't mostly exempt from.
To sum up everything everybody has said. They're basically like a state but can't vote and don't pay taxes.
Well you know, colonialism is a thing that ended in the 20th century;) nothing to see here…
Ask him who the president of Puerto Rico is.
Didn't he once say he talked to the president of the US Virgin Islands?
Yes he did, back in 2017.
I thought it was Guam?
I don’t even understand the point they tried to make. “My president said that, not yours!”
Like you’re bragging about it?
He doesn't know who the president of Puerto Rico is.
Exactly my thoughts. Weird flex. Like bragging about being the poorest person in the room.
They're "correcting" the Puerto Rican, because they didn't answer with a politician from the "country" of Puerto Rico
they saw people saying "not my president" and generally understood the message, or assumed everyone who didn't vote for him literally thought he was not their literal president. Or both. Same general concept we've seen for 10 years, idiots seeing a phrase and trying to coopt it.
Important context missing from this post: the original post said "from your country". So presumably the American was trying to "correct" the Peurto Rican by pointing out that Trump is from the USA.
Yes. Yes they are. See in MAGAland that doesn't sound batshit crazy, because trump can't lie. That means it must be true, and some terrible thing emperor trump discovered and quashed.
So yea, they brag about that.
It's not even the dumbest thing he's said in the past year.
I am a big fan of Liev
yes! he's been good in everything I've ever seen him in
He's a fantastic actor. In all his roles, he seems so big and tough. In real life he has more of the countenance of a diminutive New York Jewish boy.
yea, he seems pretty reserved in interviews I've seen him in
Yep, exactly.
he's great in "Mixed Nuts". one of our fave Christmas movies
oh! that one is new to me, I'll have to find it!
Aaaand we’re back to loving the poorly educated
I recently had to remind the woman working at the post office that Puerto Rico wouldn’t be found in the international postal rates.
She was flipping through them on her machine getting more irritated and confused when she couldn’t find it as I feebly suggested three times that she might try looking domestically.
I flew to PR once and at the airport the person at the luggage check counter kept insisting that I needed a passport to go to Puerto Rico. They just couldn't wrap their head around it being part of the country we were in.

New Mexican here, it's not quite as pronounced as your but we feel your pain
I know someone who cannot seem to comprehend the difference between Mexico and New Mexico. She keeps saying she has a cousin who lives in Mexico. Like, she’ll say that if something about Mexico comes on tv. And every time, I have to say “No, your cousin lives in Santa Fe. That’s in New Mexico.” And then she says “whatever, same thing.” “No! It’s not! At all!”
ETA: And she really should understand the concept, because she’s from NEW Jersey. She’s probably not even aware there’s an old Jersey, come to think of it. Ugh.
Tbf it's only just dawned on me why New York, Jersey, Hampshire have the "New" prefix. New Jersey specifically made me wonder where in the US Old Jersey might have been.
But I'm not American and often forget that you guys were a colony.
Fun fact: New York's name was originally New Amsterdam because it was a Dutch colony before the Brits took it over.
Why they changed it, I can't say. People just liked it better that way!
istanbul was constantinople
Well it's a long time since it was Constantinople.
Jersey is a small island in the English Channel.
It's not so far-fetched that someone might soon get the idea to rename the English Channel the American Channel, because Jersey is located there, and that belongs to the US after all! /s
Oh dear God! Don't give him any ideas 😉
Jersey is one of the Channel islands, right?
Yep
I wish he was NOT. 😒
I was born in New Mexico, I have had to explain that New Mexico is indeed a part of the United States.
I had a Puerto Rican coworker who had to get the local US consulate to convince the local grade school principal that Puerto Rico is part of the US and that she didn’t need a green card to work here. (This was in Florida)
"It's like Old Mexico, but less yellow!"
I get the feeling that this guy isn't actually American but has been just pretending to be one with his flair
Same shit as, “wE wAnT aN aMeRiCaN sInGiNg HaLfTiMe ShOw”
Okay! So he's American! But why is he singing in /-Spanish?/ Mexican?
Edit: it seems I can't remember the markup for strikethrough after many years out of web design.
I always have to
cheatlook at the reddit formatting notes to use strikethrough.To be fair, there’s no guarantee that Trump knows Puerto Rico has the same president as the mainland US, either.
From the Bad Bunny thing, they definitely don't .
They just showed that video were hertz refused to rent to this guy cause they claimed he needed a passport. Didn’t understand Puerto Rico isn’t a foreign country.
I've read just so many stories on NotAlwaysRight about that issue with people from New Mexico.
The wrong person in this exchange gets to vote for the president.
Ain't that the truth... 😮💨
I can't stand the President of Puerto Rico, terrible man. We need to help them replace him!
I'm pretty sure the Puerto Rican wishes Trump wasn't his president. 😅
In Canada: “The Budget will balance itself” was definitely up there as one of the dumbest things I’ve heard a politician say.
I made a joke on this one that it's almost unfair to include Americans in a question like that since we easily have the dumbest politicians on the planet, possibly in human history.
And now we're getting reminders that the people who vote for Republicans are even dumber than that! There are times when I wonder how many of them are just barely verbal.
Definitely not contesting that.
But the quote that OP of that thread used is from where I'm at, and it was pretty damn dumb. 😅
I’m Puerto Rican. You’re kind of correct. Puerto Rico a colonial subject of the USA. It’s like saying In the 1920s that India is a part of the UK.
Yes, and back then India was part of the British Empire.
Puerto Rico is an "unincorporated territory" so it is part of the US but without some of the rights of the states. Like being able to vote in federal elections. Puerto Ricans are US Citizens and the US President is their head of state.
I know that YOU know this, just adding some more information for those who don't.
This person probably wants an American to play the Super Bowl Halftime Show, too, not some foreigner.
Tell us the truth, USA: these MAGA people, they reproduct with their brothers and sisters, yes?
It’s equally likely this person is a) an idiot, b) a virulent racist, or c) both.
These are the same people complaining about Bad Bunny doing the Super Bowl halftime show because he “isn’t a citizen”.
Sadly, SO MANY fucking people do not know this.
Weird flex.
Weird to be flexing about the stupidity of your country's leader (over someone who's basically from the same country...or territory in this case) but okay.
I was thinking "nobody knows how magnets work", followed by "I know more about magnets than anyone" and "they stop working when they are wet" might be his stupidest statements.
Yup, proud of Trump's bullshit lies and doesn't know that Puerto Rico is a US territory.
That's a MAGA alright
That is so f*cking funny omg
Wwwwwoooow.
So smart!
How did you catch that!
Here is a pat on the head.
I bet they wish he wasn't their president.
The same person who claimed they were eating the cats and dogs also said very negative things about the president of Puerto Rico
Sorta reminds me of the 20-something young lady who got very irate at how "stupid the people who believe Hawaii is a state because it's, like, literally, an island in the middle of the ocean!" I think, instead of the 10 Commandments, we should have pull-down maps and globes in every classroom. FFS, I'm tired, y'all!
His President talked to his President
I mean, I sure as shit didn't vote for him, but he's undeniably my president until the rest of the government decides to rid us of the national disgrace that's currently squatting in the White House.
Good to claim ownership of something so stupid. But yeah, incorrect.
Oh MAGA
Jabba The Fat didn't even know that people on the island don't vote in Presidential elections.
Am I just confused, or did someone give "You wish he was" an award?
[deleted]
You have it backwards. The Puerto Rican is the one arguing that Trump is his President. The Trump supporter is the one arguing that Trump isn't the President of Puerto Rico.
Could be tongue in cheek talking about how Trump has hinted at Puerto Rico not being part of the US. If i recall he once said he had a phone call with "the President of Puerto Rico."
That guy’s president also loves the uneducated. Unironically, the my president guy shows just that.
I miss Bush... said from Canada lol
They also didn't even bother to fully understand the question. It didn't specify that the politician had to be from your own country, it just says "a politician." Regardless of who provides this as an answer, it's still correct as this was pretty dumb.
It says "said from..." which I assume would be "said from [user flair]."
So they're supposed to wish that the guy that said something that stupid was their president? When in fact he is their president? This person has multi-faceted idiocy.
Regardless of the incorrectness of their statement, the opposite statement would have been better for their case.
I understand but unfortunately he is our president.
Let’s just all collectively remember that according to the latest statistics nearly 1/2 of the country reads below the 6th grade level. Have no expectations of the general populace. Like Ricky Gervais said “When you’re dead, you don’t know you’re dead. It’s only painful and difficult for others. The same applies when you’re stupid.”
Probably one of those Homosapiens that uses Arabic numerals.
It’s a bait, dude’s name is ilovemysister18
I’m fairly certain they’re both confidently incorrect. One for assuming Puerto Rico isn’t a territory of the US and the other for thinking that’s the dumbest thing Trump ever said. Heck, I doubt it was the dumbest thing he said that month.
pretty sure Puerto Rico and other territories don't vote for president... but nonetheless, its their president
The footnote isn't necessary. It's just the yanks that haven't a fucking clue about geography, including their own.
Nah, most of us paid attention in school
You are vastly overestimating how “well educated” the average American is
Oh no I’m not. I live here. 50% of Americans are idiots

I was tryna be generous. I’ll concede in my area it’s damn near close to 100%
South Central Missouri is pretty fucking close.
"Okay, boys, now kiss and make up."
You say you paid attention, so I must assume you're not American. What with all the flag worship and active shooter drills, Americans don't have much time for school.
