Trump's Big CON: He is Not Very Smart, CONt.

UPDATE III:  "Bring on the IQ test — Mensa says it’s willing to host President Trump and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson in a battle of the brains."

Read The Hill, Mensa offers to host IQ test for Trump and Tillerson.

UPDATE II:  "President Trump proposed an 'IQ tests' face-off with Secretary of State Rex Tillerson after the nation's top diplomat reportedly called the president a “moron” and disparaged his grasp on foreign policy.

In an interview with Forbes magazine published Tuesday, Trump fired a shot at Tillerson over the 'moron' revelation, first reported by NBC News and confirmed by several other news organizations, including The Washington Post.

'I think it's fake news,' Trump said, 'but if he did that, I guess we'll have to compare IQ tests. And I can tell you who is going to win.'

Trump's dare is the latest evidence of what White House officials have described as a breach of trust between the president and secretary of state."

Read the Washington Post, Trump proposes ‘IQ tests’ face-off with Tillerson after secretary of state calls him a ‘moron’.

As noted before: I've always thought The Donald had an exceptionally high EQ (although I think he misuses it).

And he know how to connect.

Too bad he connects to people only as a CON Man.

UPDATE:  "Secretary of State Rex Tillerson just delivered an unscheduled statement to reporters about 'some news reports this morning that I want to address.'

But while Tillerson went on to dispute one major contention in those 'reports' — that he considered resigning — he directly and pregnantly declined to dispute another one — that he called his boss, President Trump, a 'moron.'

The juxtaposition of those two things was striking, and it leads to basically one logical conclusion: He can't deny it . . . because he said it. . .

This isn't going away, and it's going to color reporting on Tillerson and Trump's relationship for the remainder of Tillerson's time as secretary of state — until he denies it or actually does resign. He might not realize that or have a good answer for it, but it's true."

Read the Washington Post, Rex Tillerson might as well have just admitted he called Trump a ‘moron’.

In fact, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson referred to The Donald "as a 'moron,' after a July 20 meeting at the Pentagon with members of Trump’s national security team and Cabinet officials, according to three officials familiar with the incident."

Read NBC News, Tillerson’s Fury at Trump Required an Intervention From Pence.

That said, as noted before: I've always thought The Donald had an exceptionally high EQ (although I think he misuses it).
