      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.

        That wasn’t even stupidity. He just realized partway through the sentence that he didn’t want there to be an audio clip of him saying “shame on me.” So he tried to change it and made it so much worse.

        If anything this makes him more relatable.

      Regan wasn’t a dumbass by a longshot. He was just a bad president. The comparison isn’t even remotely close.

          None of that is an example of low intelligence, just corruption and poor judgement/greed.

          Trump is a fucking idiot. Regan was a god-damned genius in comparison.
