“Our politicians are stupid. And the Mexican government is much smarter, much sharper, much more cunning. And they send the bad ones over because they don't want to pay for them. They don't want to take care of them. Why should they when the stupid leaders of the United States will do it for them?”

American businessman and politician, 2017–2021. Founded the Trump Organization, a real estate and branding empire, before entering politics as the 45th U.S. president, where his tenure was marked by polarizing policies, a signature populist rhetoric, and a sustained influence on American political discourse. His public persona blends business acumen with a direct, often contentious communication style.
