Roughly 96% of people polled by the Mirror US believe Donald Trump is the "dumbest president ever."

The survey, conducted last week, asked 15,000 people to assess President Trump's decision-making as the crucial 2026 midterm elections approach.

"'Dumb'" is such a polite word," one commented.

"I think it's pretty obvious to anyone with an IQ over 90. Even kids think he's stupid," another joked.

I want to talk about polls I think this is partially how they are rigging elections...

I got a texas based like survey and I was just, why not..

Literally when I would say i would support the other candidate other than the republican it would go into crazy talking points about Trans rights and stuff and give me an option to change my vote.

How is this not illegal?

I really enjoy those surveys because there's usually a fill in part at some point and I use then to express the most blasphemous opinions possible. When one survey was trying to gauge at what point abortion should be legal, I wrote in that if it's still attached to me by umbilical cord I get to crush its skull between my thighs as a conservative limit.

As someone from outside the US ... the abortion stuff is wild to me. It's between the mother and doctor to me ... I don't see a point in people who aren't knowledgeable about this process to chime in.

You'd surprised. We got these crazies protesting on a regular basis here in Switzerland. Sure, they got no power other than disturbing the public transportation, but they exist. Usually they need to be protected by huge police tricks.

Ewwww, and lol.
