na, I'd argue starting an unprovoked war with f****** **IRAN** is a much dumber thing to do that is going to have a much more significant short, and long term impact than a few hundred thousand people being delayed for a few hours when they travel.

The dumbest thing - so far, and I hope it remains in the top position. We can't afford anything stupider.

There's a lot of competition for dumbest idea, but republicans can only compete against themselves in this category.

>Sending ICE to the Airports Is Trump’s Dumbest Idea Yet
Really? What about using nukes to stop hurricanes? Injecting bleach to cure covid? Purchasing Greenland? Tariffs? Starting a war of choice with Iran?
Sending ICE to the airports isn't even in the top 3 of the fat fuckwits dumbest ideas.

He was told to do this to prep the populace for widespread ICE at voting places during the midterms. This is PLANNED.

Seriously? Do Americans really not see it?
This is normalization. Allow this, and they become a permanent fixture in airports. Then that spreads to places like government buildings, hospitals, and public parks. And soon, you have Nazis so far up your ass that they control every aspect of your life.

Not his dumbest idea for the country - he's done plenty of even dumber things in that category - but one of the dumbest for his own political purposes.
Having masked ICE agents in airports makes them far more visible as nameless, faceless thugs to *everyone* who travels, which includes a lot of his own electorate - and the fact is that absolutely no-one likes to encounter armed faceless thugs in their day to day business. They stand to alienate his own voters in a way they could easily ignore when they're rampaging through liberal urban centers on TV, or raiding farms.
That's why he panicked about them being *masked* because its such an alienating visual, in dozens of major airports across the country. Unmasking them will reduce the impact a bit, but having armed thugs standing around clearly doing nothing most of the time - or worse yet assaulting people in extremely public spaces - is still not a good look, even among his own constituents.

I'd argue that many of Trump's ideas from handling COVID-19 were much, much dumber.

Sorry, but it's still not as stupid as starting a war in the Gulf.

If only they served some purpose…and, let’s make it more exciting by sending the national guard, because they, too, are untrained in transportation safety jobs. makes my hair catch on fire.

>”Linda from Arizona,” a caller on a conservative talk radio show, might deserve the credit or blame for the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents deploying to airports across the United States today.
>The caller said on “The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show” last Friday, “I think I have a solution to the TSA problem.” She said, “We need to bring in ICE agents.”
>”It’s kind of a brilliant idea,” co-host Clay Travis said.
>About 24 hours later, on Saturday afternoon, President Trump announced his vision for ICE agents at airports. [Article](https://www.news8000.com/lifestyle/money/trump-s-ice-airport-idea-came-after-a-radio-host-pitched-it-on-fox-news/article_ea84ab67-10c3-5c7a-8f0c-6e4a09fb1a8a.html)

That's a bold statement. Trump is just seething with dumb ideas. This is definitely one of them, but there are so many to choose from.

Trump has asked his staff (many times) to look into nuking hurricanes to avoid landfall in the US.

No. It is dumb as hell, but I'm not sure it even makes the top ten of dumbest shit he's done.
The Iran War and his insane tariffs spring to mind immediately as far dumber. I'd probably add DOGE as clearly even dumber as well.

It's not a dumb idea, we are being conditioned to normalize seeing ice everywhere, so when Trump sends them to the voting booth it wouldn't look as bad

Well he did kill a million Americans when he botched the Covid response, he's also started a pointless war that's going to end the petrodollar and destroying the US economy,

To be fair, it wasn’t his idea. He doesn’t have ideas. He’s an uneducated moron.
