Donald Trump’s presidency, business career, and public persona have been riddled with contradictions, misinformation, and outright absurdity. While some hail him as a strategic genius, others—including members of his own administration—have called him a moron outright. His lack of intellectual curiosity, erratic decision-making, and inability to grasp basic concepts have cemented his reputation as a walking disaster.
Let’s break down some of the most ridiculous, head-scratching, and outright moronic moments of Donald Trump’s career.
1. Even His Own People Think He’s an Idiot
It’s one thing for political opponents to call someone a moron, but when your own staff and advisors do it, it says a lot.
- Former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson reportedly called Trump a “f—ing moron” after a 2017 Pentagon meeting. When asked about it, he refused to deny it.
- John Kelly, Trump’s former Chief of Staff, referred to him as “an idiot” and said working with him was like dealing with a “demented toddler”.
- National Security Advisor John Bolton said Trump was “stunningly uninformed”, and was shocked at his lack of basic knowledge.
- Former Defense Secretary James Mattis said Trump had the “understanding of a fifth- or sixth-grader” when it came to international affairs.
When the people you handpicked to run the country think you’re a moron, chances are they’re onto something.
2. A Man Who Doesn’t Read… Anything
One of Trump’s most alarming and idiotic traits is his complete aversion to reading.
- He refused to read intelligence briefings, preferring bullet points and pictures like a child.
- He once asked his staff for a one-page summary of a 395-page report.
- When discussing nuclear weapons, he reportedly asked why we can’t just use them.
- He suggested that the Continental Army captured airports during the American Revolution (aviation wouldn’t exist for another 120 years).
A president who refuses to read, refuses to learn, and refuses to listen is a dangerous mix of ignorance and arrogance.
3. Science? Never Heard of It.
Trump’s mishandling of science and basic facts led to bizarre and sometimes dangerous statements:
- “Maybe we can inject disinfectant?” – During a press conference on COVID-19, Trump floated the idea that injecting bleach might cure the virus. Doctors had to issue warnings to the public not to do this.
- Hurricanes and Sharpies – When he falsely claimed that Hurricane Dorian would hit Alabama, instead of admitting his mistake, he doctored a weather map with a Sharpie.
- “Windmills cause cancer” – Trump once said that the sound of wind turbines causes cancer, a claim with zero scientific basis.
For a man who brags about being a genius, he sure struggles with high school-level science.
4. The Business “Genius” Who Keeps Going Bankrupt
Trump often brags about his business success, yet his financial history is a case study in failure.
- Trump Airlines? Bankrupt.
- Trump Casinos? Bankrupt.
- Trump Steaks? A joke.
- Trump University? Shut down for fraud.
- Trump Vodka? Couldn’t sell liquor to alcoholics.
His biggest financial failure came when he lost over $1 billion in the 1990s, making him one of the biggest financial losers in U.S. history.
Yet, he claims to be a financial genius. 🤡
5. Twitter Tantrums and Third-Grade Insults
Trump’s childish behavior on Twitter set a new low for political discourse.
- He called Stormy Daniels “horseface” during a public meltdown.
- He mocked Greta Thunberg, a teenage climate activist.
- He referred to his own Attorney General as “mentally retarded”.
- He misspelled “hamburgers” as “hamberders” in a tweet about feeding football players fast food.
Instead of acting like a world leader, Trump behaved like a middle school bully who just discovered Twitter.
6. Inciting an Insurrection (Then Pretending He Didn’t)
On January 6, 2021, Trump riled up his supporters, encouraging them to storm the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to overturn the election. Then, he:
- Watched the chaos on TV for hours instead of stopping it.
- Told rioters “We love you” while Congress was being evacuated.
- Tried to shift blame to Antifa, even though his own supporters were caught on video.
For someone who claims to love law and order, he sure doesn’t understand how democracy works.
7. The Dumbest Quotes You’ll Ever Read
Some of Trump’s greatest hits of idiocy:
🧠 On COVID-19:
“It will disappear, like a miracle.”
🧠 On the Revolutionary War:
“Our army manned the air, it rammed the ramparts, it took over the airports.”
🧠 On Nuclear Weapons:
“Why can’t we just use them?”
🧠 On His Intelligence:
“My two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart.”
These sound like things a 10-year-old would say, not a U.S. president.
Final Verdict: The World’s Most Dangerous Moron
Donald Trump isn’t just a moron—he’s a moron with power, a cult following, and a complete disregard for facts, science, and democracy.
His failure to understand basic concepts, lack of self-awareness, and inability to take responsibility make him one of the most incompetent and reckless leaders in modern history.
A moron? Absolutely.
A dangerous one? Without a doubt.
