This whole administration could be a show called "The Dumbest Link" and Trump would always be the w*****.

Being the dumbest guy when another guy's brain was eaten by a worm is quite an achievement.

Don’t forget the FEMA lead who claims he teleported 50 miles to a Waffle House. The bar is incredibly low but CIC Bonespurs slides under like a limbo champ.

Who is dumber, the man with a worm in his brain, or the man who appointed the man with a worm in his brain to a position of authority?

His first Secretary of Education is from a family enriched by people dumb enough to fall for the Amway pyramid scheme. The second was enriched by the towering intellect of WWE fans.

That's what makes this show the beautifulest. It's very highly rated, unlike the garbage shows on CNN, which is a failing company with very low ratings. But this show is the greatest show on television. It's probably the greatest show that's ever been on television, in fact I'm sure it's the greatest. And I win every week. People say to me... smart people say to me, "sir, how do you win every week on that amazing show?" They can't believe how much I win. Nobody has ever won as much as me.

It's also worth noting that for all the people saying "oh it's an act..." - so was, most likely, L. Ron Hubbard with scientology. You can't bathe yourself in misinformation and not start to believe it - propaganda researchers are quite aware of this (namely: it's downright dangerous to watch propaganda without being very aware that's what you're doing).

r0ndr4s Apr 3, 2026 +1
As someone that lived 30 years with a father that slowly became crazier and crazier in regards to conspiracies, hate(homophobia,trasnphobia,etc),etc it is not an act. People like this seriously think the stuff they believe is real or at least plausible and you cannot convince them that its not. Vance isn't acting in any way, neither are the rest of the adminsitration, they are just that stupid, crazy and brainwashed by propaganda.

He can teleport and time travel too, the only caveat is he can only go forward in time and needs a gallon of fresh mint Listerine for fuel.

Massive_Reaction8845 Apr 2, 2026 +4
Let me know when he can "deport' himself..

illusionzmichael Apr 2, 2026 +4
Of course he can teleport, he just needs a fifth of vodka as fuel for his teleportation abilities to charge up, duh.

TheDebateMatters Apr 2, 2026 +48
Yes. Agreed. But…. Isn’t it wild that there’s a long list? I mean…I thought GWB might have been in the top five of worst Presidents ever, but I never thought his people were objectively dumb. Noem, Kegsbreath, RFK jr, Bondi…
48
mediocre_remnants Apr 2, 2026 +43
Trump refuses to hire anyone he thinks is smarter than him. And if anyone he hires disagrees with him, they're immediately fired. That's how he ends up with this clown car full of morons.

acceptmeasiam Apr 2, 2026 +9
Yeah, its the first law of Narcissists. Youre either with em, or against em. Nothing in between.

PirateSanta_1 Apr 2, 2026 +8
I still think GWB is in the top 5 for dumbest presidents, the big difference is that Bush was part of the Republican establishment, he didn't pick for loyalty to him he picked who he was told to pick. Trump meanwhile wasn't part of the republican establishment and when he got power he used it to remove anyone in the republican establishment who wasn't loyal to him. Now everyone around him is there solely because they are loyal to him, actual competence isn't even secondary its just not considered at all.

He also sounds like he is jacking off his larynx every time he opens his mouth. I know it’s from cancer but honestly don’t care anymore. Nothing is off limits with this admin just like Noems husband. Normally I wouldn’t care, but when it’s them. F*** em.

It’s not cancer, it’s some neurological condition.

Electrical-Act-7170 Apr 2, 2026 +29
It could very well be connected to snorting heroin from a toilet seat in a public bathroom. Vocal cords sometimes become spasmic? Is tgat the word? Had a friend who went through all the treatments, Botox injections didn't help. Wound up having surgery to move the non-spasming cord over & he sounded like himself again.

Even better now I feel less bad about it. F*** him.

I still hold the belief that RFK isn’t necessarily dumb, but is a serial killer with a methodology designed to slay the maximum number of people in a way that lets him see them suffer.

I could see both Trump, Hegseth and Markwayne all regularly failing the mirror test. A good amount of the cabinet probably would have issues passing it.

I see Markwayne as the kind of guy who would roll up to a pride of lions and be like "ohhh gee look at the kitties" and then get eaten like a f****** dodo bird

No. Trump is...actually, it's probably RFK J.R., now that I think about it. He has at least 5 different kinds of brain damage: (Brain worm, mercury poisoning, lead poisoning, heavy cocaine usage, toxic waste baths.) Edit: I forgot about the heroin. There are a lot of things that RFK Jr.'s gotten brain damage from.
462
Ok-Lets-Talk-It-Out Apr 2, 2026 +70
Do you think the cocaine did more damage than the heroin?

Bubba_Pilks Apr 2, 2026 +44
Brain Worm > Heroin > Cocaine

Godless_Servant Apr 2, 2026 +36
Cocaine does more damage to your brain than heroin
36
Salty-Usual-4307 Apr 2, 2026 +23
Cocaine makes you think the heroin did more damage.
23
Calimariae Apr 3, 2026 +1
Yeah, heroin doesn't do much long-term physical damage if you're rich and have access to pure product and clean needles. It's the poor that get Hep C, HIV and endocarditis

Don't forget that just being a Kennedy is it's own set of parameters. Just born fucked up.

Bubba_Pilks Apr 2, 2026 +5
I legit debated having that in there.

ditchdiggergirl Apr 2, 2026 +17
5 kinds of brain damage, sure. But despite being a walking punchline among public health types for at least 20-30 years, he is actually capable of occasionally considering the possibility that he is wrong. That puts him in a far smarter category of dumb, a lofty tier of intelligence that neither Trump nor Kegsbreath is smart enough to even aspire to.
17
Kaprak Apr 2, 2026 +6
He was also a competent environmental lawyer back in the day. Just all that brain damage

rickskyscraper3000 Apr 3, 2026 +6
The other day I thought about that whale situation. If I could go back in time and witness 3 historical events, I might actually choose to see what that was like for his family as one of my choices. They drove five hours with that thing leaking in through the windows because of the straps. The wife and kids all wore plastic bags on their heads, with mouth-holes cut to breath through. I just think it's so warped and dumb that I'd like to actually see it with my own eyes. It makes me think of the dumb guys that blew up a whale on a beach in Oregon. Amazing stupidity.

brokeneckblues Apr 2, 2026 +6
This is like the Babe Ruth vs Barry Bonds of stupidity. One was born stupid and is a natural idiot while the other, although also born stupid, also is the face of the stupid steroid era.

I still think Pete could give him a run for his money. Some people are just born really, really stupid

Wasn't RFK a heroin addict?

Yep, as well as accused by Caroline Kennedy of getting other relatives hooked on hard drugs.

Jr! Jr is the drug addict. RFK was a decent human being.

i will point out that heroin doesn't actually really cause brain damage. cocaine might if you use a LOT of it

The brain worm was an excuse to weasel out of alimony. His wife killed herself before the divorce was finalized.

I think RFK knows he is lying, not that he is dumb just a con artist

I also think he's f****** crazy. But definitely not the dumbest.

Will Saletan takes on Pete Hegseth’s conduct during a wartime briefing campaign that keeps veering off course. Instead of focusing on strategy or coalition-building, he’s taking shots at past presidents, the press, and even U.S. allies.
185
USA46Q Apr 2, 2026 +143
Pete Hegseth is all haircut, and no brains. He couldn't lead a waltz, or fight a cold. He's a dangerous idiot, and he should be relieved of command immediately.

HardTen Apr 2, 2026 +33
What did the right wing say a few years ago? An empty barrel makes the most noise? P.s. Just checked. It was John Kelley, 2017 Trump Chief of staff. Smh
33
cjinct Apr 3, 2026 +3
Yes, and he said that about a congresswoman after totally lying about her. Give him credit tho, that man can lie. He created this whole emotive narration about an event and what she did and said - not knowing or not caring that the whole thing was on video and was the opposite of what he claimed Goes to show that even the best of his administrations are still human piles of garbage

MrOdekuun Apr 3, 2026 +6
I've always pictured him as an evil version of Coach McGuirk from Home Movies, who was already kind of a dirtbag. Alcoholic, stupid, irresponsible, in a role he definitely should not have, etc. Plus they look really similar, in a way. And eyes that used to be windows to a soul but are boarded up because the place has been abandoned for years.
6
kaizen-rai Apr 3, 2026 +8
That's intentional and he knows what he's doing. Hegseth isn't a stupid man. He's a foolish one, and completely in over his head and is incompetent, but that's not the same as stupidity. Hegseths communication is heavy on the "Deflect, Distract, and overwhelm" (gish galloping) to avoid having to directly address the questions or topics presented to him. Unlike Trump, which people mistakenly think he also gish gallops when he strays off topic. He does that because he's a bona fide moron, not because he's intentionally trying to use a communication strategy. Trump is just that fundamentally stupid that his brain can't stay on track. Others like Hegseth, they know what they're doing.

Randomwhitelady2 Apr 2, 2026 +61

MarxistMan13 Apr 2, 2026 +19
He's certainly the least competent and most unqualified. Though I do think Trump himself is the dumbest. Trump is at least competent at pandering to his moronic base. Edit: RFK Jr certainly has to be in consideration as well. He's done more harm than anyone other than Trump himself.

Trump, RFK Jr, and Hegseth are all very strong contenders. I'd add Mike "First time i'm hearing this" Johnson as a runner up. A couple of his secretaries would make wildcards.

monkeypickle8 Apr 3, 2026 +3
To be fair he did go to Princeton and Harvard, I think he's just a white supremacist and he's in a role he's in way over his head for. He's nowhere near qualified to be the Secretary of Defense or whatever his dorky ass calls his role now. Alcoholism probably has fried his brain a bit too.

Not even close. Hegseth is a fool but he's not "dumb". Trump is legitimately the stupidest man in the administration and it's not even close. Many others are stupider than Hegseth, like RFK Jr. Hegseth IS incompetent in his current role, but that doesn't make his dumb or stupid. He would be perfectly adequate in a role more befitting his experience and talents. Like making coffee and taking meeting notes for the actual adults that should be doing his job.

Ummm that would be Trump

Well, he was the dumbest member of the fox news weekend morning crew

Only behind Trump himself

No he went to Princeton. He’s not dumb but an alcoholic who is profoundly unqualified for this role and has extreme beliefs. He’s a Christian Nationalist and he readily espouses it.

Trump is the dumbest and I don’t think it is close.

Trump is the dumbest man in the Trump administration.

Aside from Trump himself, it's a tossup of who os.

SeanPhixion Apr 2, 2026 +2
Trump is BY FAR the dumbest in the administration.
2
Moist-muff Apr 2, 2026 +2
One of..

He’s the most dangerous… he’s a full Christian Nationalist. Believes his first duty is to do “gods will”, which superceeds the Constitution. He has a hard on thinking about kicking off Armageddon

Haha yes.. a deep dive on him [https://youtu.be/jEGMPBRyRQI](https://youtu.be/jEGMPBRyRQI) real dummy and a creep also apparently.

Steven Miller is the most incel.

Trump first, Hegseth second.

Sevren425 Apr 2, 2026 +2
That is a very tight race in this administration….
2
morsindutus Apr 2, 2026 +2
Trump always wants to be the smartest person in the room, which puts a very low ceiling on the intelligence of anyone else allowed in the room.
2
Large-Lack-2933 Apr 2, 2026 +2
Probably 2nd or 3rd. The top spot is the one and only orange nimrod felon...

Spamgrenade Apr 2, 2026 +2
That's a really hard question.

They are all equally as dumb. No one wins the I am less dumb than you award
2
GenericFatGuy Apr 2, 2026 +2
Every single person in that admin is somehow the dumbest, all at once.
2
ChampaignCowboy Apr 2, 2026 +2
Nope. Trump. He’s the dumbest cabinet member now that Bondi is gone tho. I think? RFK is right there too.
2
WebInformal9558 Apr 2, 2026 +2
No way he's dumber than the president.

You know, it’s a competition and tomorrow is another day for them achieving a new low.
2
phosdick Apr 2, 2026 +2
No... that honor belongs to none other than Donald J Trump himself!
2
Mudsharkbites Apr 2, 2026 +2
Close - the dumbest man is Trump.
2
ttpharmd Apr 2, 2026 +2
God that would be a very hard title to crown in this administration
2
cserskine Apr 2, 2026 +2
This whole administration is an episode of the Gong Show🥴
2
OddImpression3694 Apr 2, 2026 +2
That is a tough competition for this administration.
2
tamebobhickock Apr 2, 2026 +2
There's also Trump

AceKetchup11 Apr 3, 2026 +2
The real question is whether he’s the dumbest person.
2
FnClassy Apr 3, 2026 +2
Jesus, you could spin the f****** wheel on this one. There are no wrong answers.
2
khalamar Apr 3, 2026 +2
Unfortunately that's really hard to tell, there are many contenders.
2
personofshadow Apr 3, 2026 +2
It's a really close race to the bottom 
2
Apathy-Syndrome Apr 3, 2026 +2
I don't know about the dumbest, but probably the most evil. A tall order in a cabinet filled with idiotic, narcissistic, sociopathic social climbers that don't give a f*** who they hurt in their quest for self-aggrandizement, but Hegseth and Miller seem to actually revel in the slaughter and destruction they cause for it's own sake.
