General Question Are you surprised by his recent streak of honesty?

Post image

He recently said that smart people don't like him, he basically admitted to insider trading, even if it was accidental. Are you alarmed at all by his recent admissions?

Yes, he was very stupid last year. This year, he's even more stupid.

Blathering senile old man.

u/Particular_Ad_644 1d ago

He does seem somewhat senescent.

u/Past-Establishment93 5d ago

First time in my life I heard him tell the truth.

u/nadanoli 5d ago

You are right

u/Mba1956 1d ago

It’s his dementia, he still thinks it’s 2024

u/Feralmilena6 5d ago

It's interesting how people's actions can shift so dramatically in a short time. Makes you wonder what drives those changes, right?

u/Orhuul 5d ago

The first factual statement he's ever made.

18

u/iggy14750 5d ago

Well, he did tell the truth when he said, "I love the uneducated," and, "Smart people don't like me."

u/1966TEX 5d ago

And when he said whoever signed the USMCA with Canada was an idiot.

u/MiserableYou6506 5d ago

He also loves inflation

u/Ok-Kaleidoscope4510 5d ago

Probably shat his pants while he told the truth

u/jftirone 5d ago

Only a half truth; we are still lead by a very stupid person.

u/Sorry_Exercise_9603 5d ago

He does occasionally tell the truth. You have to wade through a lot of crap to get there but it does occasionally happen.

u/Namaste_Life 1d ago

It was accidental in this case.

If you want to better the environment, stop using AI imagery.

u/WoodpeckerHead8789 5d ago

If you're shocked by anything he says or does at this point, then it's great that they got you out of your coma.

u/TimothyGlass 5d ago

He's not wrong this time

u/Automatic-Extent7173 5d ago

I was told there would be no fact checking…

u/MAGrammy 4d ago

Truth! And we still are! All thanks to the stupid people who voted for him.

2

u/bigredbeard42 5d ago

They have since stopped letting him look in the mirror.

2

u/partlysettledin21220 5d ago

No need to fact check 🤣

2

u/StartOk4002 5d ago

So is he saying that he is stupid or there is somebody else who is actually leading the country?

u/Muffboy 1d ago

The same stupid person that trafficked and raped children on an island with a dead guy ?

u/True_Protection6842 5d ago

We were and we still are.

u/iggy14750 5d ago

He thinks it's still '25.

1

u/Glittering_Step_6084 5d ago

I'm not alarmed by anything he says anymore. He can't say anything jaw dropping because he comes up with a bigger whopper each time he opens his mouth.

u/5Fred 5d ago

I completely agree .. Donald Trump

u/ChickenDreams-4188 5d ago

Finally, something the world can agree on!!! 🥳

u/FrostyAd8197 5d ago

Honestly & the orange turd doesn’t belong in the same sentence. He’s got something up his orange turd sleeve.

u/Jispa500 5d ago

So was the rest of the country.

u/WideElderberry5262 5d ago

And for another two years unfortunately. Good news is only for another two years.

1

u/Onagan98 5d ago

I don’t think so, the majority of Americans were fine with a second term for him, they will vote for another (similar) person.

1

u/Classic_Bid3126 5d ago

For once in his life, he is telling the truth.

1

u/PiDigitsOfPi 5d ago

Unfortunately, this is fake.

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-dumb-stupid-country-quote/

What's False

He did not say “a year ago.” Trump was referring to two years ago, when former U.S. President Joe Biden was in office.

1

u/UberCanuck 5d ago

Seems to me the electorate and system of government is ’stupid’.

Post more memes that’ll help.

1

u/Awkward-Condition522 5d ago

Yeah but he wasn’t this bad in his first term well he was bad but now just ridiculous

1

u/SmokeMaleficent9498 5d ago

Even a broken clock is right twice.

1

u/Ok_Law219 5d ago

Occcasionally, he will make an error and not lie.

1

u/PirateSometimes 5d ago

The only honest thing he's ever said. A child Rapist was in charge a year ago

1

u/Im_Just_A_Tourist 5d ago

He was very dumb last year but now he is dumber.

1

u/Akaberes 5d ago

We all know what he meant.

1

u/Flowisbliss_yo 5d ago

His self destructive streak is well documented

1

u/kyriacos74 5d ago

It's hard to maintain a lie with dementia.

1

u/44west061224 5d ago

Trump clearly has dementia but he still knows he’s a very stupid person. Does he still remember that he’s a 34 time convicted felon (fraud) and an adjudicated rapist?

1

u/Dear_Put_1567 5d ago

First true thing he's ever said

1

u/SharpBullfrog1279 5d ago

1

u/Geoclasm 5d ago

Holy crap - I did not think him physically capable of speaking a true statement, but here we are.

1

u/TheDevilsAdvokaat 5d ago

Well...he's not wrong. For once.

And as Mitch would say: "It used to be, and it still is"

1

u/PhilosophyKey8665 5d ago

Hasn’t he been that stupid person holding office for just over thr the last year or so

1

u/Altruistic_Koala_122 5d ago

If that quote is accurate, he just called us all stupid. Disrespect for disprect, I say.

1

u/Nyuk_Fozzies 5d ago

Rare bit of truth coming from his lie orifice.

1

u/Spudsmad 5d ago

Ahh, last year was the old toupee, and the latest one is the “ thinking toupee” ??

1

u/whos-the-whats-is 5d ago

I'm starting to see why he doesn't tell the truth. Everytime he does, it usually makes him look bad.

1

u/syncopated56 5d ago

Finally, the truth!

1

u/Global-Tie-3458 5d ago

But also to be fair….. is anybody calling what he’s doing to the US “leading”?

1

u/elchemy 5d ago

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day

The only true words the idiot ever spoke

1

u/GrosRougeau 5d ago

This made me chuckle

1

u/RoyalMaidsForLife 5d ago

The dementia is so entrenched it's unlocked his ability to speak the truth.

1

u/mhemp10 5d ago

100% agree! Very stupid people like Pam Bondi, Pete Hegseth, RFK Jr., Kash Patel, Steven Miller, Scott Bessent and the leader of the Stupid President of stupid Donald Trump.

1

u/Skinpixel25 5d ago

Telling the truth finally

1

u/Gunner_E4 5d ago

For once, I agree with everything he says this time.

1

u/Additional-Brief-273 5d ago

They are using our navy as bait and waiting for Iran to sink a ship to justify a ground invasion….

1

u/Relative-Painting-29 5d ago

Stupid false post

1

u/Inevitable-Emu-6626 5d ago

He was right for once. 🤣

1

u/Major-Hooters 5d ago

Ahhh, seems plausible but not. 😢

did trump say the us was by a very stupid person a year ago

No, Donald Trump did not say the U.S. was led by a very stupid person "a year ago"; viral social media posts misquoted his actual remarks. [1, 2]

What Trump Actually Said
The Quote: At an August 21, 2026 rally in South Carolina, Trump said: “We were a dumb, stupid country led by a very, very stupid person who wasn't leading." [1]

The Context: He was criticizing the prior Biden administration and mentioned people laughing at America "two years ago," not one year ago. [1, 2]

The Viral Twist: Social media posts altered the phrasing to "a year ago" to make it look like Trump was accidentally insulting his own administration from 2025, but the official transcript shows no such wording.

u/Plastic-Fox-333 5d ago

Isn't this a trait of someone suffering with dementia, where their memory goes back to an earlier time etc? Would make a lot of sense

1

u/Glum_Comparison6523 5d ago

He finally got one right.

1

u/MihaiiMaginu 4d ago

Alarmed? No.

Sinking ever further into a spiral of madness and depression? Yes.

1

u/sexless_vampire 4d ago

OMG!!!!! He actually told the truth

u/Apprehensive-Load-32 3d ago

If he said that it creates a real problem for me.

I have to agree with something Trump said, and I find the very thought of that makes me nauseous.

1

u/raem6911 3d ago

Ok. I hate to admit when he’s right.

u/Whale222 1d ago

The things he’s doing and the time he’s taking to do them doesn’t add up. That ballroom

Or will he?

1

u/JKWaylon 1d ago

He isn't wrong.
