Is Trump the most ignorant president the US has ever had? It seems he knows absolutely nothing

and is surprisingly ignorant about world affairs. I doubt he could even pass a US citizenship exam. I guess there have been worse, but phew, he sure seems extraordinarily lacking ...

He knows nothing, at all, about business, let alone anything else.

How is that possible you say? He has used other people's money and the mob and now the russian mob and has employees who know what they are doing, he knows NOTHING.

About ANYTHING.

He lack of knowledge of history, geography, the law is staggering. His lack of curiosity along with his lack of modesty are the sure signs of a fourth rate mind.
He is so inarticulate that he makes Shrub sound like Shakespeare.

become president. IMO mental and physical exams should be part of the process as well as a demonstrated level of education/exam. The world is far too complex now to allow individuals such as Trump to assume the presidency. If Money and ruthlessness allowed Trump to become president, than I do wonder who might be next down the road. Also, Citizens United should be thrown out, as well as the Electoral College IMO.

He probably couldn't read and comprehend questions on a US citizenship exam, let alone answer the questions.

You have to scale it way back. Like a 5th grade social studies exam. I doubt he could pass that.
