The Top Ten
1 The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese - Donald Trump Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is an American businessman, television personality, politician, and the 45th President of the United States. Born and raised in Queens, New York City, Donald J. Trump received an economics degree from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in 1968. In 1971, Donald Trump took charge of his family's real estate and construction firm, Elizabeth Trump & Son, which was later rebranded as The Trump Organization. During his career as a businessman, Donald Trump has built, renovated, and managed numerous office towers, hotels, casinos, and golf courses. He owned the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants from 1996 to 2015 and has lent the use of his ...read more.

How stupid. WE ALL TAKE PART IN IT! Trump is an embarrassment of the land of the free. Also the one he said about his daughter was shameful, and I feel bad for her. Donald trump is so racist, and there is proof in front of everyone's face. By the way I love the picture of him.

Uh no, Trump. It's not created by China, and it's pretty much a hazard to the entire world, dude.

Did he really say that? I knew he was dumb, but this is a new low.

No one is stupider than dumpy!

2 Women are the primary victims of war - Hillary Clinton Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton (born October 26, 1947) is an American politician, diplomat, and former lawyer who served as the 67th United States secretary of state from 2009 to 2013, as a United States senator representing New York from 2001 to 2009, and as first lady of the United States from 1993 to 2001 as the wife of President Bill Clinton. A member of the Democratic Party, she was the party's nominee for president in the 2016 presidential election, becoming the first woman to win a presidential nomination by a major U.S. political party; Clinton won the popular vote, but lost the Electoral College vote, thereby losing the election to Donald Trump.

Are you serious? In war, everybody, man or women, gets killed. You are just saying this because you are women probably. I bet trump thinks the opposite.

War kills everyone, be it man or woman!

Ah, I see why she lost the 2016 election now...

3 I've now been in 57 states—I think one left to go - Barack Obama Barack Hussein Obama II (born August 4, 1961) is an American politician who served as the 44th president of the United States from 2009 to 2017. He was the first African-American president of the United States. A member of the Democratic Party, he previously served as a U.S. senator from Illinois from 2005 to 2008 and as an Illinois state senator from 1997 to 2004.

OOF! He must realize that there are only 50 states in the US. That makes me more surprised he was president. That quote.

Again showing how unfamiliar he really was with what average Americans think.

I can't tell if it's stupidity or a joke.

He really doesn't get America.

4 Facts are stupid things - Ronald Reagan Ronald Wilson Reagan (1911-2004) was an American politician and actor who was 40th President of the United States from 1981 to 1989 . Prior to his presidency, he was the 33rd Governor of California from 1967 to 1975, following a career as a Hollywood actor and union leader until his death in 2004

Ben Shapiro just got destroyed by his big daddy Reagan.

I don't think he meant this literally.

We wouldn't be alive without them.

How are Facts stupid

5 White people don't know what it means to be poor - Bernie Sanders Bernard "Bernie" Sanders is an independent American Senator from Vermont and was a candidate for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States in the 2016 and 2020 elections.

To say a thing like that is to say "Apples are green." Not all apples are green.

OK, I have talked about how blacks and jews are being persecuted, now for how whites are being persecuted. There ARE poor white people. Even so, most of them DO know what it means to be poor. I HATE BERNIE!

But multiple statistics show that most common people living on the streets are white people. Hell, if you walk around New York City, there's a homeless person every few blocks. About 90% of them were white men.

Has he never heard of Appalachia? Ever been south of the Mason-Dixon Line? Ever met anyone who didn't live in a gated community?

Purely rhetorical questions, by the way.

He makes this claim, yet there are homeless people, many of whom are white, not too far from my home.

6 They misunderestimated me - George W Bush George Walker Bush is an American politician and businessman who was born in July 6, 1946. He served as the 43rd President of the United States from 2001 to 2009 and 46th Governor of Texas from 1995 to 2000. He is the eldest son of Barbara and George H. W.

They underestimated how bad you were, yes. I can't go to Iraq on vacation anymore because of you

I could picture michael scott saying this.

Don't misunderstand his grammars.

7 I did not have sexual relations with that woman - Bill Clinton

That's the easiest lie ever spotted by a politician. Imagine saying "that" and "did not" to get your point across.

Yes you did Bill.

8 Atheists are not Americans - George H. W. Bush

No, but a lot of them are Usonians, the nationality of the United States. "American" could mean anyone from any American country. The fact that "american" has become common use for anyone who lives in the US is just idiotic, when it should be Usonian.

His death was sad but him saying this makes me angry.
Look, I'm on a side. I don't know if I should be Christian or Atheist, but, I guess I should chop myself in half and the other half should get deported.

I don't understand how you could say that about a country that supposedly has freedom of religion.

If they're not then neither are Christians.

9 Honour killings shouldn't be called 'barbaric' - Justin Trudeau

He's right, they shouldn't. Honour Killings are part of a culture that may not be your own, but you must respect it.

It's not barbaric, it's completely unjustifiable, horrorfying, felony, insulting and demeaning!

Honour killing is a heinous crime.

This is why I can't support Justin Trudeau even though I want to.And let's not forget his "peoplekind" comment.

10 I think that gay marriage should be between a man and a woman - Arnold Schwarzenegger Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger is an Austrian-American actor, filmmaker, businessman, investor, author, philanthropist, activist, former professional bodybuilder and former politician.

By that he meant he doesn't accept homosexuality...a comical way to express views, haha!

Was he trying to make a joke? If so, that's quite funny.

Does he not understand how gay marriage works?

The Contenders
11 America is great because America is good - Hillary Clinton

Why is America great?
Freedom
Capitalism
Opportunity
Right to bear arms
Freedom of speech
Freedom of religion
Oldest constitution still in use today

America IS great, but that's a very wrong reason why! Perhaps, there are numerous other actual reasons why America is great.

Not wrong, but a terrible reason why it's "great".

12 She does have a very nice figure, I've said if Ivanka weren't my daughter, perhaps I'd be dating her - Donald Trump

Ivanka does look very nice, but you do realize, that you are supposed to date peers and peers only. Trump is 75 now and Ivanka is 39. Very apart generations.

I heard this one before but it still shocks me every time I read it.

For kids who don't pay attention to politics,
Ivanka is his daughter by the way

13 My father gave me a small loan of a million dollars - Donald Trump

Trump has his flaws, and greed is one of them. That quote shows greed because a million dollars is massive and he sees it as tiny. He wants more money. By the way, greed is one of the 7 deadly sins.

"My father gave me a small loan of a million dollars." A million dollars is a lot and he called it "small." That's a reason I hate Trump.

14 I would have made a good Pope - Richard Nixon Richard Milhous Nixon was the 37th President of the United States from 1969 until his resignation in 1974, the only president to resign from office. He had previously served as the 36th Vice President of the United States from 1953 to 1961, and prior to that as a U.S. Representative and also Senator from California.

That's just so out of the blue.

15 Pokemon Go to the polls - Hillary Clinton

Pokemon Go, everybody loves that game. She is just making a refrence to make the rallies more loveable.

I love that game and she was just making a reference.

Trying to be hip and cool I see for the kids.

16 There's an old saying in Tennessee - I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee - that says, fool me once, shame on - shame on you. Fool me - you can't get fooled again. - George W. Bush
17 We had no domestic attacks under Bush; we've had one under Obama - Rudy Giuliani
18 It depends on what the meaning of the words 'is' is - Bill Clinton William Jefferson Clinton (Born August 19th 1946) is an American politician who was the 42nd President of the United States. He previously served as governor of Arkansas. He became president after unseating incumbent president George H.W. Bush in 1992. He was re-elected in 1996 after defeating Senator Bob Dole. A member of the Democratic Party, Clinton was ideologically a New Democrat and many of his policies reflected a centrist "Third Way" political philosophy. ...read more.
19 Stand up, Chuck, let 'em see ya - Joe Biden

He was telling this to senator Chuck Graham, who was on a wheelchair.

20 Republicans understand the importance of bondage between a mother and child - Dan Quayle

So do democrats. This has nothing to do with politics.

21 Poor kids are just as bright as white kids - Joe Biden

Ah. A quote from stinky Joe. Saying that quote makes one sound like a racist because it generalizes white people as dumb. It is racist. Generalization like that is bad and not what one is supposed to do.

Joe Bidet only got elected cause he was against Ronald McDonald Trump.

He means white supremacists. Kids, no offense to them, are not yet adults.

22 I love California, I practically grew up in Phoenix - Dan Quayle
23 I am not a crook - Richard Nixon
24 We know there are known knowns:there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns:that is to say we know there are things we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns the ones we don't know we don't know - Donald Rumsfle

Actually this one is pretty logical, I understand what he's going for, it's just confusing. Read slowly

This might seem illogical, but deep down, it has a lot of logic. Don't know why.

I wouldn't say this is dumb. This is so true.

Actually insightful and true.

25 I heard there's rumors on the Internets that we're going to have a draft - George W. Bush
