    Remember when W was the dumbest president we had? Like people mocked the shit out of him, and yet, he read books that would guide his domestic policy actions, showed up to work everyday, and could read at a 12th grade level. What a time to be alive.

      W was pretending to be dumb. He’s not a genius or anything like that, but there are plenty of clips of him from the '90s as governor of Texas where he speaks like a normal, educated person in complete sentences and everything, and he even pronounced “nuclear” correctly. Republicans these days intentionally speak at a 5th grade level; Trump’s big innovation is just speaking at a 4th grade level.
