Does Trump say outrageous things on purpose or is he truly that stupid?

1. Yes

[L. Coyote]

10. The dementia is getting worse, filters no longer functional. And, he's a moron.

[elleng]

14. BEAT me to it!

[unblock]

2. not mutually exclusive

[Arkansas Granny]

3. He doesn't really care.

He knows that he's not going to win any Democratic voters and his base won't abandon him regardless how stupid he sounds.

[smirkymonkey]

4. I'm going with "He's truly that stupid".

I honestly don't think he knows what is coming out of that anal gob most of the time.

[Cattledog]

5. Truly stupid. Did you see his reaction to Dubyas statement about the Oval Office?

JOHN DICKERSON: George W. Bush said the reason the Oval Office is round is there are no corners you can hide in.

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Well, there's truth to that. There is truth to that. There are certainly no corners. And you look, there's a certain openness. But there's nobody out there. You know, there is an openness, but I've never seen anybody out there actually, as you could imagine.

JOHN DICKERSON: But he-- what he meant was it's-- all comes --

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Sure. Sure.

JOHN DICKERSON: --back to you.

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Sure. It does. But I think that's true anyway. But it does, there's no question.

JOHN DICKERSON: When did that hit you, that you're-- the magnitude of that-- of the office? And that idea that you were-- regardless of what happened, your name-- the buck stopped with you?

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: It's the bigness of the office. It's the bigness of the transactions. It's the bigness of the deals. You look at-- the order of planes. It's bigger than any order of planes. You look at aircraft carriers that cost 10 billion and 12 billion dollars to build and submarines that cost 5 billion to build. It's the magnitude.

9. Incoherent Rambling.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

6. I know "stupid" when I seed it. This is "stupid." NT

[L. Coyote]

11. That points to a real problem, the number of people so stupid they don't see stupid when

it's right before their eyes. Trump did everything possible before the election to inform the voter of just how stupid he is!

[mahatmakanejeeves]

13. And they're happy with that, because he's "just like us."

Not like those fancy folks, putting on airs.

Sheesh. Like he'd ever have anything to do with the people who voted for him.

[Phoenix61]

7. Yes, he says outrageously stupid things on purpose

Because he doesn't know they are stupid. That is what happens when you surround yourself with only sychophants.

[northoftheborder]

8. Lawd-a-mercy

Both; mainly stupid and ignorant

[jalan48]

12. He's a carnival barker.

While we are focusing on his ignorant statements the Republican's are getting what they want. More tax breaks for the rich will have an effect on our government and the services it can deliver to less fortunate Americans. Stupid statements about Jackson have zero effect on today's Americans.

[samnsara]

15. he has magical thinking. He BELIEVES what he says will come true...

mental illness or arrested development? like 4 yrs old? GAWD Melania must love snuggling up to that huge orange man child. Can you imagine what he looks like nekkid? and YEP I will ALWAY body shame trump!

[Different Drummer]

16. Trump is truly a certifiable dumbass, n/t

[onecaliberal]

17. Truly breathtakingly stupid

[Greywing]

18. I'm just calling him face-palm 45 now

The most idiotic, stupid moron alive ... this whole administration is a joke

[dubyadiprecession]

19. Trump's mental illness is not getting better with age,...

it just gets worse. If you don't believe me, watch the interviews of him through the decades on Youtube.
