Roughly 96% of people polled by the Mirror US believe Donald Trump is the "dumbest president ever."

The survey, conducted last week, asked 15,000 people to assess President Trump's decision-making as the crucial 2026 midterm elections approach.

"'Dumb'" is such a polite word," one commented.

"I think it's pretty obvious to anyone with an IQ over 90. Even kids think he's stupid," another joked.

Ok? So what? American liberals need to stop obsessing about the specific deficiencies of the individual of Donald Trump and actually care about terrible policy regardless of the character of the person espousing it.

I think we can obsess about both.

I can not remember the proper phrasing and I am not a wordsmith, but there is something about not letting the lack of perfection being the end of all things. There is a distinct problem that the Reich has its ducks in a row and the left is well... everything else.
