For me it has to be when it was raining and he could not see the teleprompter and read the word "ramparts" on the 4th of July and his infantile brain thought of the word airports, so he said that George Washington took over the airports. I bet he thinks Washington crossed the Delaware to take over Newark airport.
What is the dumbest thing Trump has said?

It's like asking what the best Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream is There are so many to choose from that it's difficult to pick just one. Everyone might have a different opinion. Injecting bleach? Finand is part of Russia? Kids are immune from coronavirus? The moon is part of Mars? How do you decide?
You make a great point about ingesting bleach. Maybe I should say the dumbest unintentional thing, but still there is a lot to choose from.

This is easy, "LeeDog is a genius."
Most of them are all bottom barrel dumb meaning there is rarely a peak in dumb. I would say his claim for inventing not only the term fake news but the term of fake was down there.

For me the #1 Trumpism is the disinfectant comments:
So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous - whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful light," the president said, turning to Dr Deborah Birx, the White House coronavirus response co-ordinator, "and I think you said that hasn't been checked but you're going to test it.
"And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside of the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. And I think you said you're going to test that too. Sounds interesting," the president continued.
And then I see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning?
"So it'd be interesting to check that."
I was watching the briefing and am guessing my face had the same "WTF?" look as Dr. Birx's at that moment.

He's like a bored child. He has to read a speech which he doesn't want to do so he goes through the motions. Heck, even Reagan didn't like doing all of his speeches but he did them with zest and gusto. Trump reads them like a 7 year old reading an apology to his neighbor for breaking a sprinkler.
He reads through it at a normal, but monotone pace which indicates he's trying to get it correct but still doesn't give a shit about it. Because of this, he sometimes misreads words as we all do. His difference is that he doesn't self-correct, he just blows right on past it like airports were part of history. That's a form of behavior characteristic of Trump, but unusual for most people.
The real irony is that Trump used to go into a frenzy bitching and whining about Obama's use of teleprompters at his campaign stops.
Example: https://factba.se/transcript/donald-trump-speech-burlington-ia-october-21-2015
We have a teleprompter president. We can't have that. We need somebody. We need somebody that could do the job.
No shit, Mr. President, no shit.

It's just that he's too stupid to know we didn't even have cars with motors when Washington became President, so how would he have motorized airplanes. It's a lack of common sense and lack of common knowledge to know that the Wright Brother's built their airplane in 1903 and not in 1776, nor in the 1800s.
Like Tillerson and Kelly say Trump is an idiot and a moron.
Trump is also too lazy to proofread the speeches written for him, which is why he says Thigh Land and Yo-semite.

Don't be silly, of course he knows that. He's a fucking moron but he at least knows there were no airplanes in the Revolutionary War. This just Trump being a lazy, spoiled overgrown child who has to do something he "doesn't wanna". The fact he's a dimwitted narcissist means he never self-corrects.
There used to be a t-shirt that said "People who know everything annoy those of us that do". Anyone who works for a rich, spoiled dumbass gets exactly what they deserve.

Wondering which holy trinity version of make America great is supposedly going with Trump's "coronavirus will disappear" political pseudoscience, SCOTUS Rehnquist's Christian Nation "one nation under God with equal justice under law" jurisprudence pseudoscience, Byrd's KKK churchstate fiefdom pseudo lynching enforcement of thieving US Constitution - old glory - old testament - absentee voting ballot arsonists in that "serve the Pope or die" national pseudo religion problems of American politics.....
Trump saying a hurricane was very wet in the standpoint of water. That was pretty stupid.
His idea of using nukes on hurricanes is a contender.
The noise from windmills causes cancer.
Injecting disinfectants under your skin will does a tremendous number on Corona and your lungs.
I suppose saying in the revolutionary war we won by taking over the airports.
There can be a long list of outrageously stupid things he says. He is a compiler of stupidity.
Rightys do not care.

I doubt Trump was ever very smart, but all his daddy's money help maximize his potential. Now at 74 years and aging fast, Trump's brain indicates he's been in a slow shutdown mode for the past several years. His public Twitter fights with Rosie and others, his support of the Birth Conspiracy Theory and other off-the-wall ideas prove Trump's clock doesn't have all of its numbers anymore....and that was before he became President.
