Financial Times (September 28)
“Another tediously pointless, economically debilitating and teeth-gratingly stupid US government shutdown is looming. Goldman Sachs now reckons that there is now a 90 per cent chance it starts this Sunday.”

Washington Post (July 28)
“Everyone knows, as the Watergate scandal drove home: The coverup is always worse than the crime. Everyone, that is, but Trump.” Should “the allegations in the latest indictment of Donald Trump hold up, the former president is a common criminal — and an uncommonly stupid one.”

New York Times (December 4)
“No sooner had Britons found some sorely needed trans-Atlantic cheer in the engagement of their prince charming to an American actress than President Trump dashed it all with his baffling retweet of vile anti-Muslim propaganda from a British neo-fascist group.” Britain reacted to this “slap in the face…with rare all-but-unanimous fury, with members of Parliament denouncing the president as stupid, racist and even fascist.”

Korea Times (September 15)
South Koreans were not pleased by an editorial in the English version of the state-run People’s Daily, which stated “”Korean conservatives have become stupid after eating too much kimchi.” In response, the Korea Times noted that “being a state mouthpiece, the paper is deceitful as well,” before taking a shot at Chinese journalists. “People do not become stupid only because they eat specific foods. They become so because they are unable to think logically due to blind emotion or obedience (to government authorities).”
