“QUIZ: The Idiot or The Idiot?”

Russian literature, or MAGA Republican?

1.      “It is better to be unhappy and know the worst, than to be happy in a fool’s paradise.

2.      “If you are Jewish, regardless of Israel, if you’re Jewish, if you vote for a Democrat, you’re a fool, an absolute fool.”

3.      “To kill someone for committing murder is a punishment incomparably worse than the crime itself. Murder by legal sentence is immeasurably more terrible than murder by brigands.”

4.      “These are terrible, terrible, horrible people who are responsible for death, carnage, and crime all over the country…We’re going to be asking everyone who sells drugs, gets caught, to receive the death penalty for their heinous acts.”

5.      “Inventors and geniuses have almost always been looked on as no better than fools at the beginning of their career, and very frequently at the end of it also.”

6.      “I went from VERY successful businessman, to top T.V. Star…to President of the United States (on my first try). I think that would qualify as not smart, but genius…and a very stable genius at that!”

7.      “…there are two sorts of mind: one that matters, and one that doesn’t matter.”

8.      “OUR COUNTRY IS BEING DESTROYED BY A MAN WITH THE MIND, IDEAS, AND I.Q. OF A FIRST GRADER. THIS INVASION OF OUR COUNTRY MUST STOP IMMEDIATELY. IT CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE!”

9.      “…this prince is an idiot…”

10.   “What a fucking idiot.”
