Jesus. This sounds like literally every parody version of George W Bush, trying to get a laugh out of how massively exaggerated they made his stupidity.

USA: We couldn't possibly elect a president dumber than GWB

GOP: Hold my beer...

Just because Donald Trump is a moron doesn't mean George W Bush wasn't incredibly stupid. Both things can be true.

Let's not forget that Bush only graduated from college because his parents donated money to keep him from being given failing grades and flunking out.

There are entire buildings on the Yale campus that only exist because W was such a poor student.

Bush was an average student academically, not excelling but also not failing. He excelled in social skills though. He was able to remember names and details of everyone in a room. He was convivial and enthusiastic. He was a member of many clubs, groups, and societies. He was proof that being liked is sometimes more important than being smart.

Trump is not either. He's proof that if you keep telling people that you're better than them then lots of them will believe you.

I'm not saying otherwise, but do you remember when parody movies were all the rage, and GWB was always portrayed as having the intelligence of a 5 year old?

Example:

“I’m for us. You know how you spell us, right? U.S. I just picked that up. Has anyone ever thought of that before?”

Tell me this doesn't sound like a line from one of those.

You aren't wrong, and I do think they are both dumb as shit, I do however still hold that Trump is stupider than W.

No argument there at all, on scale of 1 to 10 of stupid, 10 being the dumbest, W is a 6 or 7, while Trump marks an 11 on the scale and then claims he's a 50.
