Donald Trump posts a lot of idiotic blatherings on Twitter, so much so that covering it is pointless unless he gets absolutely served, as he did when he was dumb enough to get into a Twitter fight with a Modern Family writer. More often than not, however, we take Trump’s stupidity for granted and just roll our eyes at him.
However, with Trump maybe making another bid for President of the United States (ha!), and in light of his crass tweets in the wake of the Amtrak derailment yesterday, I thought it’d be a good time to collect his dumbest tweets from the last year so that we can take them all in at once, and scratch our heads again at the fact that he’s not only an obscenely wealthy man, but that NBC continues to put him on their network year after year.
Here are the eight dumbest things Trump has said in the last 12 months:
1. Trump took the opportunity after the the Amtrak derailment, which has killed and injured several people, to talk about why he’d be a better president than Hillary Clinton (even though he will never be president). Great timing, Trump!
The only one to fix the infrastructure of our country is me – roads, airports, bridges. I know how to build, pols only know how to talk!

I am the BEST builder, just look at what I’ve built. Hillary can’t build. Republican candidates can’t build. They don’t have a clue!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 13, 2015
Remember, politicians are all talk and NO action. Our country is a laughing stock that is going to hell. The lobbyists & donors control all!

2. On Ballgazi, Donald Trump compares apples to skyscrapers:
They had no definitive proof against Tom Brady or #patriots. If Hillary doesn’t have to produce Emails, why should Tom? Very unfair!

People are so jealous of Tom Brady and the Patriots. No court could convict based on the evidence.They can’t beat him on the field, so this!

3. On the Baltimore riots, Donald Trump finds a way to blame Obama for not using the fact that he’s black to stop the riots.
Our great African American President hasn’t exactly had a positive impact on the thugs who are so happily and openly destroying Baltimore!

4. Donald Trump also blamed Obama for Ebola because that’s helpful.
If this doctor, who so recklessly flew into New York from West Africa,has Ebola,then Obama should apologize to the American people & resign!

Ebola has been confirmed in N.Y.C., with officials frantically trying to find all of the people and things he had contact with.Obama’s fault
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 24, 2014
I have been saying for weeks for President Obama to stop the flights from West Africa. So simple, but he refused. A TOTAL incompetent!

5. When it comes to the doctors who put their lives at risk to help those infected with Ebola, Trump was a real humanitarian.
The U.S. cannot allow EBOLA infected people back. People that go to far away places to help out are great-but must suffer the consequences!

6. Oh, and Obama has also ruined America for black people.
Sadly, because president Obama has done such a poor job as president, you won’t see another black president for generations!

7. Trump also retweeted this photo, unaware that the image was actually that of Fred and Rose West, the married couple accused of torturing, raping and murdering numerous victims inside their Gloucester home.

8. I’ll let you sort out just how dumb this one was.
How is ABC Television allowed to have a show entitled “Blackish”? Can you imagine the furor of a show, “Whiteish”! Racism at highest level?
