To little surprise, Donald Trump responded to Stephen A. Smith‘s taunts and teasing, including over who has a higher IQ and over images that appeared to show the president sleeping while attending the New York Knicks NBC finals game.
On Truth Social on Wednesday, Trump wrote, “Stephen A. Smith is an arrogant fool, a low IQ individual. In other words, he’s ‘dumb as a rock,’ and totally unqualified to ever think of running for high political office, or even low political office, for that matter! He’d get annihilated in a debate by the most incompetent of politicians. Joe Biden’s now ‘fabled’ performance would look great by comparison to anything that this loudmouth huckster has to offer, which isn’t much! Within a few weeks, they’d laugh him out of politics!!!”
Smith, who has mused about a potential presidential run in 2028, had delivered a biting response to Trump after the president told reporters that Smith didn’t have the IQ needed to run for the White House.
“I’d put my IQ up against yours any day of the week,” Smith said, while also riffing on Trump’s apparent dose off.
“I’m not going to accuse him of snoring because I wasn’t in earshot,” Smith said.
The Smith post was one of several Trump had on Wednesday, including angry messages for the media, Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough and Iran’s mullahs, writing, “They’ve taken too long to negotiate a deal that would have been great for them, now they will have to pay the price.” The latter message signaled that a deal to end of war may not be so close.
