I hear people say that every president in the 21st century so far has basically just been a dumbass who was puppet Ed around by his cabinet accept for Obama and maybe 1st term Trump. Do you think this is true or not and if so how much responsibility do they have for their crimes?

I would extend this to everyone in the 20th century too

To a degree yes but also a lot of voters prefer stupid candidates because they speak at a lower level. Most Americans read at a fifth-grade level or below. Those kinds of Americans perceive someone who's actually educated and speaks at a higher level to be elitist, untrustworthy, and hard to understand.

No one in a position of power is a dumbass, although they likely play it up to make you think they are.

Chagos Poster much?

Presidents are notoriously idiots. It's their advisors that make all the decisions for them. The president is just a celebrity figurehead.

A mix of those. The ideal liberal president is a midwit who pretends to be a retard to appeal to his electoral base but also a secret genius to mantain a veneer of respectability.

JFK was a trainwreck full of drugs. If he hadn't got assassinated, sooner or later his head would have exploded anyway. Reagan literally got dementia while in office.

exactly, and it's the MAGA cult brainwashing them

maga is a mere symptom of a long existing american stupidity going back to the times of the founding fondlers

Actually it's the reverse.
America's are always trained to think that anyone who speaks plainly is dumb.
Also, people worldwide don't read at college level.

This is a common stereotype that is promoted by American media.
