The president is an idiot [View all]

This was Donald Trump's statement yesterday regarding health insurance in the United States:

"Nobody knew that health care could be so complicated..."

Really?! "Nobody" had any idea how complicated the health insurance problem was in the United States? After eight years of Republican obstructionism this is what this "really smart" man has to say? After 60 votes to repeal the Affordable Care Act, "nobody knew that health care could be so complicated."

Republicans are stupid and Donald Trump is the perfect leader for their dysfunctional un-American party.
