I’d love to hear Biden call him “Drowsy Donnie” on CNN.

Today I saw an item about how his most hated insult is being called dumb. Apologies, I’m not finding it at the moment. It was maybe from Daily Beast(?) Anyway, I think _The Secret Handshake_ ( the group that gave us the awesome statues of Trump and Epstein, among other great pieces) should get to work on a statue of Dumb Donald with a dunce cap. Let’s remind him how stupid he is, any way and anywhere we can. Maybe change “No Kings” to “No dumb-dumbs”. Insert him into pictures of Forrest Gump, with the caption “stupid is as stupid does”.  
Childish I know, but I’m not above flinging his shit right back at him.

Make it look realistic, very accurate to this.

Put a dunce cap on that and call it “Dumb Old J Trump”.

Let’s not forget about the L-word, _loser_. How about “Dumb Loser”?

“Dumb Loser 2020”

And instead of a dunce cap, an upside-down bowl of mashed potatoes on his head.

Proving that none of us is woke enough to remember that “dumb” was considered inappropriate to use as an insult, as it encompasses people with the inability to speak.

I mean, if only he were really dumb.

Let’s not be unfair.

Trump had “the highest grades possible” at Wharton, for someone of his low I.Q.

This is not what one says when trying to prove one’s intellect:

“They hit me with a bad one: He’s a dumb person. D-U-M, not the B,” Trump told the crowd, . “Most people don’t know it has a B.”

In DJT-speak “most people don’t know” translates to “I just found out”.

Every time I read that quote, I can’t help but think of this Full House clip.

For context, J\_A\_Q was referring to his second annual checkup. We’re up to three now.

That’s in keeping with Donnie’s practice of insisting on more than ordinary people get – like two scoops of ice cream.
