      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.

        That wasn’t even stupidity. He just realized partway through the sentence that he didn’t want there to be an audio clip of him saying “shame on me.” So he tried to change it and made it so much worse.

        If anything this makes him more relatable.

          I’m just gonna share another quote that I remember from the President of the war on terror.

          “Families is where our nation finds hope, where wings take dream.”

          In the competition for “politics’ dumbest fucking member” US will probably place several times.

      Regan wasn’t a dumbass by a longshot. He was just a bad president. The comparison isn’t even remotely close.

        Reagan was a huge dumbass. He was the first in a long line of stooges for rich. He was just a empty suit doing what he was told. Oh and he commited treason with iran to get elected. So its lines up more than you think.

          None of that is an example of low intelligence, just corruption and poor judgement/greed.

          Trump is a fucking idiot. Regan was a god-damned genius in comparison.
