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... read more

How stupid. We all contribute to climate change! Trump is an embarrassment to the land of the free. Also, the comment he made about his daughter was shameful, and I feel bad for her.

Donald Trump is racist, and the proof is right in front of everyone's face.

No, Trump. It wasn't created by China, and global warming is a serious issue that impacts the entire world.

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

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... read more

Are you serious? In war, everyone - man or woman - suffers and dies. You're probably saying this just because you're a woman. I bet Trump thinks the opposite.

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

War kills everyone, be it man or woman!

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... read more

OOF! He must know there are only 50 states in the US. I'm surprised he was president after that quote.

This just shows how disconnected he was from what the average American knows.

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

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.

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 something like that is like saying "Apples are green." Not all apples are green.

I have talked about how Black and Jewish people are persecuted, but there are also poor white people. In fact, many of them know exactly what it means to be poor. I hate Bernie!

But multiple statistics show that a significant number of people living on the streets are white. If you walk around New York City, you'll see a homeless person every few blocks, and about 90% of them are white men.

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

These are purely rhetorical questions, of course.

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 definitely underestimated how bad you were. I can't even go to Iraq on vacation anymore because of you.

I could picture Michael Scott saying this.

Don't misunderstand his grammars.

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

When one considers the source of this comment, there certainly shouldn't be any surprise. A proven liar, hypocrite, and supporter of decriminalizing hard drugs, open borders, and massive spending of taxpayer dollars on nothing other than self-enrichment and the enrichment of his government and corporate colleagues.

Meanwhile, the apathetic Canadian electorate does what it does?

Justin Trudeau spends very little time considering what he says. He knows his base is fully committed. He utters what's relevant or trending, regardless of reality or facts. He is a master of virtue signaling. He's aware that much of the public quickly turns the page and moves on, and he believes that today's lie can become tomorrow's storyline.

What truly makes Justin Trudeau stand out is how someone with no significant credentials or experience in governance has remained Prime Minister after eight years of overwhelming, catastrophic failure.

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 refer to anyone from any country in the Americas. The fact that "American" has become synonymous with people from the US is idiotic when it should be "Usonian."

His death was sad, but this statement makes me angry.

Look, I don't know if I should be Christian or Atheist, but I guess I should chop myself in half, and one half should get deported.

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

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

That's the easiest lie ever caught from a politician. Imagine using "that" and "did not" to sound more believable.

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.

What he meant is that he doesn't accept homosexuality, but it came out in a comically backward way.

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 vague reason. 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 nice, but you do realize that you're supposed to date peers only. Trump is 75 now, and Ivanka is 39. These are very different generations.

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

For those not following politics, Ivanka is his daughter. That quote is creepy.

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

Trump has his flaws, and greed is one of them. This quote shows greed because a million dollars is a huge amount, yet he sees it as small. He always wants more money, and greed is one of the seven deadly sins.

"A small loan of a million dollars." A million dollars is a lot, and he called it "small." That's why I dislike 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... read more
15 Pokemon Go to the polls - Hillary Clinton

Pokemon Go is loved by many, and she was just trying to make a reference to make her rallies more fun and engaging.

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... read more
19 Stand up, Chuck, let 'em see ya - Joe Biden

He was telling this to Senator Chuck Graham, who was in 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 I am not a crook - Richard Nixon
22 Poor kids are just as bright as white kids - Joe Biden

Ah, a quote from stinky Joe. That statement makes one sound racist because it generalizes white people as the standard for intelligence, which is wrong. Generalizing in this way is harmful and not what anyone should be doing.

Joe Biden only got elected because he was against Ronald McDonald Trump.

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

23 I love California, I practically grew up in Phoenix - Dan Quayle
24 Billionaires shouldn't exist - Bernie Sanders

No surprise he said this. Socialism wants to "eat the rich." Sanders is a socialist. I am not.

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