Speaking about his dealings with French president Emmanuel Macron, he said: “Macron, nice guy, he’s for France – I’m for us.

“You know, you spell us right? You spell us U-S. I just picked that up. Has anyone ever thought of that? A couple of days [ago) I’m reading and it said us. And I said, you know, if you think about it, us equals U-S.”

To cheers and chants of “USA, USA” he continued: “Now if we say something genius, they’ll never say it, you know, we get 25, 30, 40, 50, 80,000, 100,000 people to the speeches. They’ve never said Trump’s a great speaker.

“I’ve never heard it… I said to my people, do you think they’ll ever acknowledge [it]… I must be doing okay. Except I’m a very handsome person. So I guess a lot of you want… They want to sit look like a beauty pageant. It’s amazing.”

8. Just a few days ago, I commented in a different...

…thread that part of me still has trouble believing that this asshole was POTUS for 4 years ,even tho we lived thru every horrifying minute of it. Like a bad dream you can’t wake up from.

Couldn’t he just please die already?

[TreasonousBastard]

11. If that's what it would take to shut him up...

then... Please.

6. Christ is he f'in stupid. And so are his fans.

Folks that flock to see this idiot have the IQ of a potato.

[Deuxcents]

30. The video of him saying this in his speech is a gem

He actually lights up with delight with his new discovery. That, and the applause he gets from his cult is truly disgusting 🤢

[tanyev]

[Wonder Why]

14. Wow! Is he brilliant, or what? I'd never have realized that without his stating it.

[rsdsharp]

15. Moronic, but not surprising.

This is the same guy who didn’t know Lincoln was a member of the Republican party — the party of Lincoln.

[chouchou]

16. I..I don't understand

Boy, that man talks so far advanced. His thinking process is like a super-advanced computer.

Last week, he came up with American Broadcast Company and before anybody figured it out
he quoted "It's like the Alphabet!!" abc.
Damn, how does he do it?

[Irish_Dem]

18. Yep, he is so brilliant, we cannot keep up with him.

[Emile]

17. Egads, what a fucking genius.

[Xavier Breath]

[sakabatou]

20. *facepalm*

[SWBTATTReg]

21. No wonder he went bankrupt so many times. NT

[gratuitous]

22. What an intellect!

[JoseBalow]

23. I wonder why he worked so hard to keep his school transcripts sealed?

[Swede]

24. Next he'll be telling us "stollen" is spelled with only one "l"

That boy is not too sharp.

[struggle4progress]

25. Whoa! He can even spell "us"! He really has the best words!

[Silent Type]

26. Still believe way to beat trump is to let him talk 24/7 on "free" TV, so everyone hears.

[Blue Owl]

27. Man, woman, person, camera, TV -- this guy is FUCKING BRILLIANT

[C_U_L8R]

28. Donnie puts the Rump in Trump.

Gah.

[captain queeg]

31. How can a person be so deluded?

I guess it’s like the emperor’s new clothes. If you can browbeat, bully, or bribe everyone who comes in contact with you I guess you can convince yourself of anything. Him becoming president was the absolute worst scenario. He’s desperate to recapture that fantasy that he lived for so long. He is definitely going to lose it as things play out.

[Doodley]

32. We may laugh, but the more stupid he sounds, the more his cult love him.

[ProfessorGAC]

33. My Spellcheck Knows That!

Every time I type "us", my android spellcheck offers "US" & "USA" as options.
So no, Donnie-boy, you're not clever at all.

[Emile]

34. Imagine now if Joe Biden said something as stupid as this.
