Overview
”They misunderestimated me."
Or did they?
Judge for yourself. Here are over 100 memorable misstatements by our syntactically challenged president, collected, annotated, and introduced by Slate magazine’s Jacob Weisberg.
“I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully."
"Families is where our nation finds hope, where wings take dream."
"We’ll let our friends be the peacekeepers and the great country called America will be the pacemakers."
"It’s clearly a budget. It’s got a lot of numbers in it."
"I know how hard it is for you to put food on your family."
"I do know I’m ready for the job [the presidency].
And if not, that’s just the way it goes."
