Americans in Hysterics After Trump Brags About How Smart and Educated He Is, ‘Trump Is Classless and a DISGRACE!’

A new video of Donald Trump at a campaign stop in Detroit is making the rounds, and not in a good way.

The former president was, as usual, blathering on about his vastly superior intellect, and he accidentally stepped in a giant pile of people with examples of exactly the opposite coming from him.

Standing at the podium, Trump picked the most awkward possible phrasing to tout the fact that he looks for “good words.” What words is he talking about here? Are they also self-referential?

Australopithecus? Fatuousness? Nonsensicality?

“These people are just so destructive, so — I always look for good words, highly sophisticated, and I’m highly educated. I like sophisticated words,” he said on Monday. “There’s only one word I get — that’s stupid. Stupid people.”

Is he talking about that time he called Kamala Harris the president? Maybe that time when he referred to the fictional nation of Nambia. People say that Trump is out of shape, but the wisdom that’s been chasing him his entire life has never seemed to catch up.

Online commenters were quick to point out the holes in his assertion. “He was the best speller ever — greatest speller in his class. I mean all his teachers know this,” wrote one observer. Another who clearly watches both the news and social media asked “Did you see his rant last night on Truth Social about ABC and the debate? He couldn’t even figure out when to use a question mark and a period in a sentence. Yet he thinks he’s a smart guy.”

Indeed, Trump made a meme of himself when he declared he was a very stable genius a long time ago.

He just can’t seem to set this issue down, though. I’m torn between thinking he actually believes he’s smart and thinking that he may actually be in on the joke. That joke being him, of course.

Although MeidasTouch.com editor Ron Filipkowski correctly observed that “Trump’s total vocabulary is about 750 words. If that. On the extremely rare occasions where they include a 4-syllable word in a rally speech (the writers know their audience well) he struggles to read it or pronounce it correctly,” he did forget that on THIS rare occasion, Trump managed to wrangle out a five-syllable word: Sophisticated.

Watch the hilarity for yourself:

Take a look at what the people on Twitter thought:
