Little Sam For Vice President
“I’m just a kid but I’m not stupid.”
Is dumbness a prerequisite for high office in the GOP?

Today we talk about the word ‘dumb’ and when it is dumb to use the word dumb. For example, during sensitive peace talks, it would be really dumb to say the enemy is dumb because they might get angry - and that could ruin negotiations.

I’m just a kid but I’m not stupid. I think it was really dumb for Vice President Vance to use the word dumb, because it makes him sound like a stupid kid. Maybe I should be Vice President?

I agree with you Sam. It was really dumb of Mr Vance to say Iran didn’t understand a vital point that is simple and explicit. That’s basically calling Iran dumb, because the 10-point plan clearly says Lebanon is included in the ceasefire deal.
That’s what Iran rightly says, but Mr Vance and my Uncle Donald say it was not part of the deal. Mr Vance was even dumber to say that Iran would be “dumb” to let talks collapse over Lebanon. That’s very unhelpful in a crisis situation. It’s dumb.

In my opinion, if you really are dumb, you can’t help it - so it’s dumb to pretend you’re not dumb when you know you really are dumb, just like Uncle Donald and lots of others in the White House.
The more they pretend not to be dumb, the dumber they look.
