In your opinion, what is the stupidest thing Trump has said as President of the U,S.A?

I will tell you what I think is extremely stupid and might qualify as the "stupidest". Trump tells the head of intelligence agencies, CIA, FBI, DEA, etc.. "To go back to school." There is a thought there that many have stated, that somehow he, Donald Trump, knows more than the heads of the CIA, FBI, etc. Also implied is that he knows more than the knowledge of the entire agencies combined. Yes, this could be the "stupidest", but what do you think is the "stupidest thing Trump has said since he became President."?

If one is not enough, then please quote 2 or 3 of the absolute stupidest things Trump has said. Thank You.

But this has to be the absolutely worst phrase he ever uttered.

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

There is a type of lie he is fond of. He'll claim something is the ultimate of all time, like his Inaugural crowd. He does this even though he knows it can be easily proven wrong.

He told one the other day that I thought was the most ridiculous of all time. Fortunately, I have forgotten it.

I've heard people say a lot of stupid things. That one takes me back to the playground, although I never heard a child utter anything so ignorant. I definitely haven't heard anything so ridiculous from an adult. How could anyone vote for a person who came back with a phrase like that? Donald says dumb things all the time, but what about all the people who follow him regardless of his stupidity? They scare the shit out of me.

Not very many, it would seem.

And what a ridiculous statement - "I know words." What the hell did he even mean by that?

to being an expert on everything, it's hour after hour of blathering idiocracy. I look forward to the day of being able to travel the world as something other than a fake Canadian.
