Who is dumber, AOC or Trump?

"Unemployment is low because everyone has two jobs." Compare that statement to Trump accidentally saying "Tim Apple" or misspelling the word "coffee" in a tweet. Comment below the dumbest thing you remember from either politician (note I asked for dumbest, not unethical/disgusting/politically incorrect).

Also, AOC was an econ major and she says the things that she says. And she got out of school much more recently than Trump. I would expect an econ major to have a better understanding of how metrics such as unemployment are calculated, wouldn't you?

You’re really concerned with that one quote

Microsoft PhitteMooh May 15, 2019

Yes. It showed how little she knows about basic economics. Plus she is a gaffe machine, she has said dumb shit again and again Plus anyone who over uses “like” and “yeah” should not be making policy that influences our economy in anyway https://youtu.be/qcqfeomRzbM “I think that there's a lot of people more concerned about being precisely, factually and semantically correct than about being morally right.” -AOC Good gawd

Trump didn’t misspell coffee. He misspelled “coverage” Besides that, Trump says a plethora of stupid shit on an almost daily cadence.

If you could provide specific quotes that would be much appreciated.

I still can’t get over the fact that they aren’t teaching kids about the 3 branches of government anymore. 🤷‍♂️

Trump actually thinks China pays for the tariffs he is enacting. https://www.axios.com/donald-trump-us-china-trade-war-tariffs-deal-e154abe0-a00e-4c2f-8caa-1e9a6f370238.html “I've asked several current and former administration officials whether Trump actually believes that China pays the tariffs — rather than the reality that U.S. importers and consumers do. The consensus is "yes": That's what he actually believes. And as one former aide said: There’s little point trying to persuade Trump otherwise, because his belief in tariffs is "like theology."” The different between Trump and AOC is that AOC is a 29-year-old freshman congressman who has plenty of time to learn and has very little sway on the US economy. Trump is almost 80 and controls the markets by tweet. You should care a lot more about his grasp of economics.

Both are partially right. Both China and the customer pay. The prices for goods imported from China won’t rise by the full 25% as demand falls faster than linearly.

China passes the higher tax rates onto consumers.

Trump can’t even speak English, enough to say.

Trump can clearly speak English. Maybe he mispronounced the occasional word here and there, doesn't make him dumb

EA ☕️ May 15, 2019

He ain’t dumb. People confuse his tweets for the truth. It’s all distraction. He a sly mofo who knows the numbers.

Trumps politics are shit even if he drank some magic brain-juice.

Lmao, this was from AOC. “Unemployment rate is so low because everybody has two jobs...” when I saw that interview, I literally went to shock..

Ggdcg OP May 15, 2019

Yeah I know. The part that kills me is the sly smile as soon as she finishes saying it, like thinking too herself "yeah I totally deflected that question so well and the interviewer never saw that coming"

Microsoft T Gracchus May 16, 2019

She meant that the on demand service economy means everyone is doing multiple jobs like Lyft or food delivery.
