Quayle served under former President George. H. W. Bush from 1989 to 1993, but was most known for his mindless ramblings that could only be compared to Trump.
If you’re too young to remember, or if like most Americans, you’ve tried your best to block this man from your memory, here is a refresher of some of the most stupid Quayle Quotes. You’ll soon understand why a Trump-Quayle pairing of any kind would be disastrous.

We have a firm commitment to NATO, we are a part of NATO. We have a firm commitment to Europe. We are a part of Europe.

What a waste it is to lose one’s mind. Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is.
I stand by all the misstatements that I’ve made.
I believe we are on an irreversible trend towards more freedom and democracy, but that could change.

This is truly, but a sample. If you want more, give Tina Dupoy’s Twitter advice a try:

When it comes to Trump’s cabinet appointments, the hits just keep on coming… let’s hope he just wants Quayle to be his water boy.
