That's right, single dumbest thing is taxing chips...... Not starting wars, sending people to die, killing people, breaking the average American, screwing over every person on the planet. No lets call it a list e at taxing chips.

The article doesn't say this is the dumbest thing he ever did. It just says this is the dumbest way he could have done this particular thing.

If we're being technical, the article is saying someone told the writer that its the dumbest way to do this particular thing.

I'm here for the spirit, but your reading comprehension could use some work. The title doesn't say it's the dumbest thing he has done. It says he is doing this particular thing in the dumbest way.
