Morons. I've got morons on my team!

That's a line by Strother Martin in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Butch and Sundance have taken an honest job, signed on as guards for Percy, who is going down the mountain to collect a mining payroll. On the way down the mountain from the mine, Butch and Sundance are being hypervigilant, surveilling the rocks and bushes, looking for an ambush. Percy says:

Morons. I've got morons on my team! Nobody is going to rob us going down the mountain. We have got no money going down the mountain.

Here's a tweet from the Moron in Chief, Donald Trump, after the Super Bowl:

Congratulations to the Kansas City Chiefs on a great game, and a fantastic comeback, under immense pressure. You represented the Great State of Kansas and, in fact, the entire USA, so very well. Our Country is PROUD OF YOU!

Nice, right? No twisted bitterness,no pumped-up braggadocio, no expressions of hatred for Democrats, no juvenile nicknames or name-calling.

Once again, though, he has shown his profound ignorance about the country he professes to love so much:  The Kansas City Chiefs are not located in Kansas, and they do not play their games in Kansas. The Chiefs are from Kansas City, Missouri.

Dummy.
