Yoda voice: There is another

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.
Trump would probably say he invented the old saying itself, just like how he invented the phrase "priming the pump"
Didn't he invent "wagging the dog," too?
The rumor i heard is he might not have wanted to have an audio clip of himself saying "shame on me" that could have been used in any other context. But yeah he made himself look like an absolute twat that way. Not the best fast thinker.
And yet he still managed to sound more coherent than president pedo.
Is our children learning? All these years later it seems that the childrens did not learned
Jury is still out if the human being and fish can coexist peacefully.
They did make the pie higher though.
Americans: we can go dumber
We'd probably be better off if we elected a golden retriever.
There's no law that says a dog can't be president...
Except they have to be over 35 years old. : (
What about dog years?
Golden retievers are loyal
I know this is a meme so I shouldn’t look for historic accuracy here but a the vast majority of the US, and many of our allies, were on board for an invasion of the Middle East (Afghanistan) in 2001 after 9/11. It was the invasion of Iraq in 2003 that turned many people off.
Afghanistan is in Southwest Asia, not the middle east, fyi
The middle east is also southwest Asia.
Most Americans couldn't locate it on a map in either case.
I dunno, the TV showed sand and camels and that's the only thing I understand to exist in the middle east.

Bold of you to assume most Americans knew the difference.
As long as the dumb man continues to have supporters, we must assume there are still dumber men out there. Watching. Waiting. Eating dirt.
Guilty as charged.
I recall squirming in embarrassed discomfort listening to Bush try to form a coherent sentence.
GLORY DAYS
In 2001, I was one of the few against the Iraq war, and we were pariahs. Flags flying everywhere
i remember living in redhatistan in 2003. it was halloween. i thought of the thing that would be scariest to my neighbors so i dressed up as an iraq war protestor. most of my neighbors immediately got it and thought it was hilarious. about 15% of them were insanely offended and two or three grown men squared up to fight me until they realized the puny disabled kid had this long board with nails in it holding a small sign. i was not unprepared in any way.
I was much more outspoken then, and I learned to keep my weirdo opinions to myself. A mob madness overtakes them
oh gods i've just gotten weirder and louder as i've gotten older.
Well yeah, who's the more foolish? The fool or the one that follows him?
"...you can't get fooled again"
Harry and Lloyd?
I love the idea of a Dumb and Dumber short or reboot with Dubya and Trump, but I can't listen to Trump-speak at all.
Guard the Leaf turns his voice to a chipmunk
Relaaaaxxx guy
Can't wait to see how stupid the next quarter-century idiot will be
Ok then, so what is the next level of the inferno, Dante.
President Clavicular
You claim Trump is dumber than Bush, and yet Trump has made billions while President compared to Bush who only made hundreds of millions.
Hell, I'm beginning to think Cheney was dumber than Trump, at least on these grounds.
The one thing Trump is somehow good at is grifting, Ill give him that.
The south doesn't deserve to vote.
Suspend their statehood and keep them as permanent territories with zero voting representatives.
If idiocracy has taught me anything, there is a dumber person out there and they shall lead legions of idiots.
Who is the bigger fool? The fool or the fool who follows him without getting a cut of the action?
there is in fact a dumber man
Should we ask Clinton what the meaning of 'is' is in this sentence? There is not just a dumber man. There was a process, there were debates, there was an election. The problem is not Trump.
Trump is a symptom, for sure, but he is in fact also a problem on his own
Which is the problem. He is not a problem on his own. There is the possibility for an impeachment. Trump on his own doesn't have the power to stay president.
Pretty sure Trump is not dumb. He is an awful human being but not dumb. He knows where this is going and he is fine with it.

Basically his professor called him the dumbest person he ever taught and that the orange child rapist thought he already knew everything.
The fat cunt tells everyone that he graduated first of his class yet his name isn't on the Dean's list of 1968, and anyone who does exceptionally well would be on that list.
Also none of the class of 68 particularly remember him.
In short the kiddie fiddler was seen as a dumb prick, and continuously lies about being clever.
I'd say he's at least dumb in the sense that his age is getting to him. If you hate yourself go back and listen to him from 2015 when he was running and listen to anything now. He should be in a nursing home and we've got him running the country.
I think he's dumb. Dumb as in bereft of self-criticism, reflection, and wisdom; dumb as only the rich who surround themselves with sycophants can be.
He's always been the exact same clown he is today
This is a hindsight thing. He was just elected. Unlike Trump, we didn't learn until 2 or 3 years into the war that GWB was an absolute moron. In 2001, everyone got behind him and the military. And that includes just about anyone in this thread who was alive at the time, and likely their entire nation, and that's a demonstrable fact.

I recall being a zit-faced highschool freshman and knowing that GWB was an absolute moron.
That would be 1999.
It didn't take 5 years to learn it. It took 5 years for everyone else to accept it.
I was alive at the time, and I knew it was a shit show from day one and said so.
Not because I'm smart, but because I'm cynical. Never cynical enough, really... things are always worse than even I can imagine
