People can’t stop cracking up over the former president’s bizarre, bumbling speech.

Speaking outside Allentown, Pennsylvania, on Sunday, Donald Trump left everyone confused when he attempted to explain the Battle of Gettysburg, praised (and invented a quote from) Confederate General Robert E. Lee, and generally had no idea what he was talking about. 

When his off-the-cuff remarks hit late-night television on Monday, the hosts couldn’t hide their laughter. 

“You have to hand it to this guy: On the weekend before his unprecedented criminal trial begins, he somehow manages to overshadow it with this broken-brained interpretation of what happened at Gettysburg during the Civil War,” Jimmy Kimmel quipped.

Take off the hat. He is so dumb that it's impossible for him to remember to do anything nefarious, let alone mildly intelligent.

Looking down on your enemies is a surefire way to get surprised by them, just sayin.

Hell, everyone laughed and called him a circus act during the run up to his election, convinced he wouldnt win so no one dealt with him seriously, and look what happened? we got 4 years of Trumpism, stacked courts, the loss of Roe v Wade, and an epidemic resulted in over a million deaths, most of which would have been preventable if not for him and his actions.

So, sure, laugh at him. Mock him.. Just stop underestimating him.

Again, Trump is a moronic monkey. It's not his intelligence, smarts or whatever you want to label it. It's his team that makes things happen and it's the retarded voters that like him.

I'm not underestimating anything. The election is going to be a shit show and I'm positive the MAGA nuts will actually kill people on election day.

I didnt label anything. I said don't underestimate him.

You're the one coming out swinging wildly about his intelligence and being the living embodiment of the kind of attitude I was warning against in a petulant fit for some god forsaken reason.

'Trump dumb' is dangerous thinking.

No. He's a straight up brain dead moron. It's the MAGA machine that is the problem.

And none of your petulant flailing has anything to do at all with what I've said.

Which you'd realize if you replied to what I said, instead of replying to what you imagine/wish I said.

Literally doing the exact same thing that got him elected the first time, but you're too far up your own ass to see it.

[-] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Yep, you're a random idiot for sure.

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago

Yep. Clearly I'm an idiot for saying dont underestimate the guy who already won once because everyone underestimated him, and as a result did massive damage.

What a fool am I.

You've certainly showed the world the depths of my ignorance there.

So dumb he managed to find himself elected president of the United States, even.

'Trump dumb' is dangerous thinking.

[-] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

He's an imbecile. His team and the huge amount of brainless, racist scumbags got him into the WH.

[-] Natanael@slrpnk.net 2 points 6 months ago

There's no IQ test you have to take to get elected.

[-] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Its his money and smart people willing to make him a president in exchange for money that made him a president. Not his wits
