'I thought this was a joke': Critics stunned by Vance 'dumb presidents' remark

'I thought this was a joke': Critics stunned by Vance 'dumb presidents' remark - Raw Story https://share.google/th8g51KcZzSYfgaEG

During an interview with MNBC host Kristin Welker, Vance could not say enough good things about the president, stating at one time, "The Iranians are clearly not very good at war. Perhaps they should follow President Trump’s lead and give peace a chance. f they’re serious about it, I guarantee you the President of the United States is too.”

With regard to previous dealings with Iran, he said, "I understand the concern, but the difference is that back then we had dumb presidents, and now we have a president who actually knows how to accomplish America's national security objectives."


That set off a firestorm on social media, with one critic writing, "OMG I thought this was a joke. Talk about dumb."


"Dumb presidents? Both were republicans. We have an even more dumb president now so idk how this is a flex…' noted Bluesky user Jeremy.

It’s not just a Jim Carrey/Jeff Daniels movie title! It’s our dear beloved “leader” and his loyal sidekick. Or maybe it’s the sidekick trying in vain to drag the “leader” to wherever his next stop is.

He needs to fluff the boss's ego. He saw how Li'l Marco was suckin'-up, and had to slather up Krasnov's chair-muscle to stay in the game. And, he's not really very good at it, that was some WEAK tea.
