The 50 Stupidest Things Ever Said by "President" Trump

    The end or the beginning of every year necessarily invites retrospectives. People we've lost in a given year, most important news items, etc. Yet, since Donald Trump's first and only term as Russia's vice president is coming to a close and as he's gotten his Twitter account permanently deleted and his idiocy is now mercifully sealed off from the rest of the world, it's time for a retrospective of 50 of the very dumbest things Donald Trump has ever said since getting elected by Vlad Putin.

     Keep in mind this was physically painful. Yes, physically, as in trying desperately to score morphine painful.
