President Trump said on Thursday that he did not know hurricanes could be rated as high as a Category 5 after his visit to Florida, which is reeling from Hurrican Irma's devastation.

"I never even knew a category five existed," the president told reporters at the White House.

The storm wreaked havoc on the Caribbean before continuing to Florida.

"It's been a rough time for Florida," Trump said, adding that his administration did an "A plus job" responding to the storm and its aftermath.

The president earlier on Thursday said that there have been bigger storms than Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma, dismissing the notion that climate change played any part in the powerful storms.

Climatologists have said that while climate change didn’t cause the two monster storms, it likely exacerbated them and made them stronger.

[BoogieWoogie]

"There have been bigger storms which I also don't know existed!"

 

[Jarmel]

dude what

I guess it's the New Yorker in him talking.

 

[Two Words]

At least he's telling the truth for once.

 

[quickwhips]

Scientist should use smaller words around trump.

 

[2blackcats]

Maybe someone should explain how global warming works to him. Maybe he's never taken the time to learn about it before.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Our President, the moron.

 

[Jintor]

Dude can't stop telling people how fucking stupid he is

Guess that makes him smart

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

"It's a Category 5, the first ever..."

 

[Jigorath]

I never knew we could end up with a president so unbelievably stupid.

 

[Drifters]

Truth be told, it's what insiders call Trump's member.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Idiot pig rapist

 

[BriGuy]

Well, they're not especially common I guess. Of all the shit you can criticize Trump for (and there is a huge goddamn pile that grows by the day), this seems pretty innocuous.

"Numbers go up to five! Can you believe it? Nobody knew this "

 

[Velcro Fly]

The things our president doesn't know could fill up the oceans that are used to fuel hurricanes and typhoons

 

[SlipperyMoose]

So out of actually curiosity, what is the opinion of the Trump administration response to these recent hurricanes as compared to something like Hurricane Katrina under bush. I'm looking for as much as an unbiased response as possible.

"Nobody knew hurricanes could be so complicated"

 

[Skellig Gra]

Who knew hurricanes could be so complicated
Edit: damnit lol

 

[RootCause]

I bet there's a lot he doesn't know.

 

[HStallion]

Trump: What's this Constitution thing I keep hearing about? Its kind of a pain in my ass!

 

[MetalGearZed]

We literally elected the most ignorant 70 year old man as our leader

 

[Neuromancer]

Fucking idiot

 

[SaviourMK2]

Jesus FUCKING Christ. Where does his stupidity end. Its a perpetually pit of idiocy.

 

[SolarPowered]

"I never even knew Kompromat existed"

-Trump six months from now

 

[OrangeGrayBlue]

Honestly surprised he would admit that. Of all the things to slip up and be honest about...

 

[Sobriquet]

Get a brain! Moran.

Spoiler

Go USA

 

[exmachina64]

dude what

I guess it's the New Yorker in him talking.

It's the moron in him talking.

 

[SaviourMK2]

I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't know Santa wasn't real.

 

[TheBryanJZX90]

He is so goddamn proud that he is an idiot

 

[DietRob]

A lot of things this doofus doesn't or didn't know.

I guess he also doesn't know that telling people all the shit you don't know or find much harder than you thought makes you sound like one dumbass motherfucker.

 

[JordanN]

Our President, the moron.

Remember when Bush was the dumb one?

 

[Shadow Puppetry]

Did he not watched Twister?

 

[Cow Mengde]

"It's a Category 5, the first ever..."

First it was a double event. Now they bringing in the category 5.

 

[HeisenbergLannister]

And what the fuck is a TORCON, ladies and gentlemen?

Sounds like a new burrito from those bad hombres.

 

[GK86]

"Can you believe it folks, hurricanes go up to category five? I invented that phrase. Nobody wanted to raise the number from four to five. But I thought we should have a category five."

 

[Shauni]

Well, they're not especially common I guess. Of all the shit you can criticize Trump for (and there is a huge goddamn pile that grows by the day), this seems pretty innocuous.

It is very common knowledge, man. You have to be incredibly sheltered to not know what there's 5 categories to a fucking hurricane, Jesus

 

[WiiredShawn]

He is so goddamn proud that he is an idiot

25% of America: "We like him! He's just like us! Not like those smug coastal elites who already know what hurricanes are!"

 

[CarpeDeezNutz]

The blue collar billionaire!

 

[DietRob]

Also remember this comes from a guy that built an ocean front resort. You could plausibly make an argument that someone that has lived in Kansas their whole life might be excused from not having knowledge of hurricanes. But a real estate guy with beachfront properties nah...lmao

 

[Dishwalla]

There's these things called "books", he should pick one up that's not titled "The Art of the Deal" once in a while.

 

[Geist-]

"I never knew" seems to be his default setting.

 

[aspiegamer]

This means he received zero briefings on the storm in the week leading up to it, spoke to no one with the National Weather Service, and at no point spoke with a single government official in Florida because the intensity would have come up repeatedly. This should worry people more than not actually knowing the intensity.

 

[Cidd]

This guy is 72 yrs old and in that 72 years he had never heard of a CAT5 Hurricane??!!!

 

[Prototype Viktor]

"I never knew dinosaurs were real!"

I never knew oil evolved from dinosaurs"

 

[Wood Man]

I mean, if there's anytime to lie it would've been there.

 

[geomon]

Does this putrid orange fuck know anything? He doesn't know how to run a business. He doesn't know how the government works. I guess he knows how to file for bankruptcy and assault women.

 

[Seesaw15]

This just makes him more endearing to the public.

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

You don't know anything.

I never kneeeeeew
