Former Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien did not seem impressed by Donald Trump’s campaign in a Wednesday interview, dissing the Republican nominee’s intelligence.

“When Hillary had pneumonia, there are pills to help you against pneumonia, but apparently there is no pill against something like stupidity,” he said in an interview at a fundraiser for St. Francis Xavier University when asked about Trump’s campaign.

“I find it unbelievable. It’s taking away the dignity of public life,” Chretien added.

    I ran out of words to describe Trump’s “stupidity.” So, the last ones I can up with is that he embodies an American Exceptionalism of Stupidity.

  3. Canadian PM on Trump: “There is no pill against something like stupidity.”

    But there is a support group for those who suffer from this crippling disorder.

    We call it “the GOP”.

    Actually, there is, but Chiselin’ Trump is too stupid to take it!
