#dumocrats

President Donald Trump overexplained his new nickname for Democrats — “Dumocrats” — during his Friday remarks at a New York community college meant to whip up support for Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.).

The idea apparently came to him as he watched House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) speak.

“And I said, ‘He’s a dumb guy. Wait a minute — he’s a Dumocrat. That’s how I got the name!” the president said.

He didn’t stop there.

“You take the ‘E’ out, you don’t use the ‘B’ — a lot of people don’t know ‘dumb’ has a ‘B’ in it, actually — but you don’t need it. You discard the ‘B.’ But you take the ‘E’ out, and you replace it with a ‘U,’” he said.

He added: “They are Dumacrats. You know why? Because they’re dumb."

The leader of the most powerful nation on Earth… explaining spelling like a confused substitute teacher while the country is dealing with actual problems. Gas prices. Healthcare. Housing. Democracy itself.
