Following widespread media reports that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson had labelled the US President a “moron” and planned to leave his administration, Donald Trump has suggested he is smarter by challenging Mr Tillerson to an IQ test.
“I think it’s fake news, but if he did that, I guess we’ll have to compare IQ tests,” Mr Trump said.
“And I can tell you who is going to win.”
Trump insisted he still had confidence in the Secretary of State though, saying “I did not undercut anybody. I don’t believe in undercutting people.”
That’s despite making repeated Twitter statements undermining Mr Tillerson’s official announcements.
“I told Rex Tillerson, our wonderful Secretary of State, that he is wasting his time trying to negotiate with Little Rocket Man [Kim Jong-Un],” he tweeted earlier this month.
Mensa is now offering to give the pair IQ tests. Who would come out on top?
We’re not sure – all we know is Trump would definitely fail an Emotional Intelligence (EQ) test.
