Trump: Soviet Union fell because "they decided, 'we have to call ourselves Russia.'"

Trump offers an interesting historical interpretation of the fall of the Soviet Union: "Remember the Soviet Union? When it was all together. Before they decided, 'we have to call ourselves Russia.'"

1. Good grief , what a dumbass.

[rufus dog]

2. any person who supports this ignorant fuck is

an ignorant fuck.

[renate]

6. Perfectly stated.

[brush]

35. Yep, the orange blob has no knowledge at all of history. How the fu_k do those other...

idiots keep lapping that crap up? Are they all that stupid too?

It so effin' embarrassing that this know-nothing, bombastic loud mouth is president—and is continually cheered and egged on by other know-nothings.

3. He knows less than Sarah Palin.

I didn’t think that was even possible.

[John Fante]

9. Not only is Trump dumber than Sarah Palin,

he's a LOT dumber. Scary.

Actually, Trump might be one of the dumbest "famous people" on the planet. Who can out-stupid him? Steve-O? Honey Boo-boo's mom?

18. +1, and they think he's a genius!!!

[SCantiGOP]

4. That is the reason the Soviet Union fell

They had a warehouse of Russia T-shirts that Yeltsin had ordered from QVC when he was drunk.

5. Fucking moron.

[Anon-C]

7. Get it!

[Zambero]

8. Can this analogy be applied to Mitch McConnell?

Remember Senator Mitch McConnell? When he was still electable? Before he decided to do unspeakable things to earn himself the title of 'Moscow Mitch'? That's when the voters of his state woke up and decided to call him GONE!

10. Oh, FFS, the man is a blithering idiot.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

11. Holy shit. Putin really has him by the balls.

Essentially he’s making the case that the modern day Russian Federation has some sort of right to the former Soviet republics (e.g. Ukraine, Georgia, the Baltic states, etc.)

No doubt Putin jedi-mindtricked him into saying this in their pillow chat last night.

[moondust]

12. Wow.

Mr. Superficial ImageIsEverything strikes again. Judges wines by their appearance, no doubt books by their cover, people by the color of their skin, and now empires collapse because of what they call themselves? Who knew?

His hair looked kind of green today.

[Wellstone ruled]

13. Talk about a Guy who really fits

his Ignorant Audience. Not many History Books in that area of our Country that were written after Noah's Arch Story was hatched. As for their Leader,well,he is dumber than a box of rocks.

[Midnightwalk]

14. Is that why he likes Boris Johnson?

He has him confused with boris yeltsin?

[smirkymonkey]

15. God, he is SUCH an asshole!

And his hair is such a lovely shade of hooker piss tonight. He is really the most repulsive person on the planet.

[PA Democrat]

24. Donny Deutsch commented on Trump's latest hair color

and held up a neon yellow highlighter.

[True Blue American]

27. Yeah, I heard that!:)

But only on the top. A friend noticed it was shorter yesterday.

[True Blue American]

28. That yellow reminds me of when women used peroxide

It was always dry, harsh yellow.

[Cracklin Charlie]

16. Crowd got real quiet about that topic.

They know that’s a problem.

P.S. the president’s cracked.

[uponit7771]

19. +1, every time he brings up Russia the crowd gets quiet

[GulfCoast66]

17. There is no way they are letting him debate next year.

Any of our candidates would just start laughing at this drivel. And being laughed at is his kryptonite.

[uponit7771]

20. THANK YOU !!! Especially if it's Harris

[tblue37]

30. Warren would slice and dice him verbally. nt

[area51]

23. +1 n/t

[Vinca]

21. If I call myself "thin" will I no longer be a fatso? Never thought of that.

The "Tao of Trump."

[True Blue American]

29. Well,yeah!

[Codeine]

22. I was 5'1" until I decided I needed to call myself tall.

Boom, 6’2” overnight.

[Everyman Jackal]

25. I need help with this.

Was Trump saying that they just switched the name back to Russia but all the countries in the Soviet Union were still joined together with Russia just under the name Russia? You won't believe how long it took me to write that sentence. I hope you understand my sentence because I could not believe he actually meant that.

[Siwsan]

26. Some things just defy rational explanation

Well, when it comes to anything trump*, MOST things defy rational explanation.

[True Blue American]

31. Made sense to me

With a little head twisting.

[brush]

36. He meant it. He's just that stupid. He has absolutely no knowledge of history.

And the Soviet Union collapsing is not that far distant. He was grown man in his mid-40s when it happened. Guess that stable genius brain of his just did collect and remember any of all that.

God, we are so screwed with this dumb ass spouting ignorance to his crowds who lap it up.

Idiot wind
Blowing like a circle around my skull
From the Grand Coulee Dam to the Capitol
Idiot wind
Blowing every time you move your teeth
