“I said, ‘He’s a dumb guy. Wait a minute — he’s a Dumocrat.’ That’s how I got the name. You take the ‘E’ out, you don’t use the ‘B’ — a lot of people don’t know ‘dumb’ has a ‘B’ actually — but you don’t need it. You discard the ‘B.’ But you take the ‘E’ out, and you place it with a ‘U.’ They are Dumocrats. You know why? Because they’re dumb.”
(Trump, May 29, 2026, referring to Hakeem Jeffries, House Minority Leader)

… It seems to me that Trump thinks winning elections is like winning a prize — the United States of America — to do with as he pleases. But what actually happens in elections is that the voters hire you to do a job. It’s a job with some 340 million bosses. Trump, as far as I can tell, just doesn’t see that. Which, among other things, seems to mean that he actually gets worse at all of this as he goes along.
