Stupidest thing Trump has ever said..here is mine..."But I never ran, so..

.. "I wasn’t very experienced. And after I had won, everybody was calling me from all over the world. I never knew we had so many countries."

What Is Yours?

Just a small point..Stuart never ran either, but I knew the world had so many countries..

As soon as I saw that clip I confirmed what I had always assumed about Trump - the man is an idiot.

with an amazing sense of self-importance - narcissism on steroids.

Come on Mr. Mueller - grab 'em by the posse (stolen from a DUer) and lock them up!

Even a stupid blowhard can become president of the US. Very ominous development. I know Bush-43 was dumb but he was nowhere near as blowhard as Trump.

Psychotics don’t do nuanced humor. Especially the self-absorbed, me-me-me types like #45.

"Mental health is your problem here."

Don't agree with him often, but 100% on board with this.

“...has been treated worse or more unfairly.” (DU’s subject line now deletes punctuation.)

Maybe it’s not THE stupidest thing he ever said (so many to choose from), but it’s the one that really sticks in my craw. The whining, the self-pity, the victim-status claimed (sniff) the weirdly inverted point to claim “historical” status over (treated the worst???).

And that idiotic “great surety” claim, in light of obvious facts: JFK, McKinley, Garfield and Lincoln, as they were assassinated while in office, clearly had it worst. Barack Obama was treated with overt racism, repeatedly, and a Republican congress that swore to make him a one-term president (didn’t happen, Mitch). Lincoln had to deal with a horrific civil war brought on by most of the country’s slave-states, that chose not only to secede, but also to make war on the Union.

In addition, tRump laid this poor, pitiful victim speech on a Coast Guard commencement. The man is a major embarrassment, not to mention an existential threat to democracy in the United States.

Proving beyond doubt with examples, that other presidents were treated worse. Especially Lincoln, and Obama, and yes, JFK was assassinated. Your evaluation is terrific ..thank you

To see if he ever speaks the truth, or is honest, or deals with actual facts. But to date, *everything* that issues from his mouth is an exaggeration, or a myth, or a rumor, or an out-and-out lie. Even with trivial issues, he never wanders into the truth. It’s a weird form of “anti-genius,” but it’s also genuinely paranoid:
-Obama bugged his phones. Not true.
-He claims he’s donated X dollars to Y cause, but in EVERY instance he has not, resulting (sometimes) in a speedy check written AFTER it’s pointed out that he welched.
-He says his administration is “running like a fine-tuned machine,” when the abundant chaos and criminal investigations indicate otherwise.
-Per The NY Times, “He said something untrue, in public, every day for the first 40 days of his presidency.“
-Says the GOP plan he supports is "the biggest tax cut in U.S. history." It’s not.

On and on it goes. That #45 hangs onto a 33-36% approval means that a third of the country doesn’t know or doesn’t care, even though he’s clearly a pathological, serial liar who may be so delusional that he might actually believe these whoppers. Either way, America loses.

... perhaps one of the top 10 dumbest things ever said in human history.

And though more revealing than just dumb - I also liked the “No puppet... not a puppet. You’re the puppet” at one of the GE debates after Hilary said he was a Russian puppet. I laughed at the time about how desperately juvenile it sounded. Of course, now we know.
