Trump is a weapon of mass stupidity

    FWIW this isn't any more absurd than the original weapons of mass destruction.

    For the young ones: Bush wanted us to believe that Saddam was trying to get nuclear weapons. The only problem is: he wasn't. But Saddam had used chemical weapons during the Iran/Iraq war. So Bush decided to equate chemical and nuclear weapons. And thus the "weapons of mass destruction" were born. What is a weapon of mass destruction? Anything Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld wants it to be!

    The US was also pretty sure Sadam had chemical weapons because the US sold them the precursors and empty warheads. We actually did find some of those weapons in Iraq, but not in any great quantities.
