About This Quote
We're being lead by an idiot with a crayon. It is not uncommon to hear people refer to their leaders as idiots, but this is one of the most insulting ways that it is said. Calling someone an idiot is like saying that they don’t know what they are doing and that their decisions are all over the place. The wording of the quote makes it sound like we will be led by a child who is not capable of making wise decisions but is instead making several mistakes at once. In some cases, there may be some truth to this statement as some political leaders have been seen as dithering idiots who have been known to make some truly boneheaded moves.
