Donald Trump Thinks Rick Perry Should Take ‘IQ Test’ Before Presidential Debate
The Wrap ^ | July 17, 2015 | Jordan Chariton

Posted on 07/17/2015 10:23:35 AM PDT by BradtotheBone

Another day, another Donald Trump doozie.

The presidential candidate, who’s soared to No. 1 among Republican presidential candidates in the latest Fox News poll, attacked opponent Rick Perry’s intelligence on Twitter Thursday.

“.@GovernorPerry just gave a pollster quote on me. He doesn’t understand what the word demagoguery means,” Trump tweeted.

He followed up with a proposal: “.@GovernorPerry failed on the border. He should be forced to take an IQ test before being allowed to enter the GOP debate.”

Trump’s tirade against the former Texas governor came after Perry tweeted: .@realDonaldTrump-ism not conservatism but a toxic mix of demagoguery and nonsense.”

Trump also tweeted his ire at Senator John McCain, who was the Republican nominee for president in 2008.

“The thousands of people that showed up for me in Phoenix were amazing Americans. @SenJohnMcCain called them “crazies” — must apologize!” he tweeted.

Trump then insulted McCain’s intelligence: “.@SenJohnMcCain should be defeated in the primaries. Graduated last in his class at Annapolis — dummy!”

This is what Perry said that Trump responded to:

I have a message for my fellow Republicans and the independents who will be voting in the primary process: what Mr. Trump is offering is not conservatism, it is Trump-ism – a toxic mix of demagoguery and nonsense.

America doesn’t need another president who pays lip service when issues of national security are at stake. America doesn’t need another president who will pass the buck on border security. We need a president who will finally act to secure the border after decades of failed leadership in Washington, D.C. And Mr. Trump has done nothing to prove that he is the president America needs.”

Scott Walker too should be required to pass the minimum IQ requirement. The guy is an absolute dufius.

He looks like Howdy Doody.

Is Trump running on the idea that the State Governors are responsible to protect the US border or the Federal Government?

“I think they should both take IQ- tests. Trump is none to bright. I can’t imagine a reality TV idiot is above 100.”

Yes, because low IQ types are worth 10 Billion all the time. /s

Ouch. The Donald does have a point, but the fact he isn’t trying to parse words and play nice with people who oppose him is refreshing.

[Donald Trump Thinks Rick Perry Should Take ‘IQ Test’]

It would be just a very short test, just ask him to name three things he would get rid if he were president.

The dozen or plus successful books he’s written and ten billion dollars say different. One or mor of the books are required reading in many of top business schools

Well, so far, Trump is like Babe Ruth. He keeps hitting home runs.

The crack on McCain was awesome.

Beware of multiple choice questions with three or more answers.

>>The Donald isn’t perfect, but uh, he sure is saying what needs said.<<

Yes, he’s saying what you want to hear said, but does he believe any of it himself. He didn’t a few years ago when he just as vociferously took opposite positions on many issues.

I’m with Huff Po on this one; he belongs in the entertainment world, not the political world.

Trump is none to bright. I can’t imagine a reality TV idiot is above 100.

Yes. Amassing a $10 BILLION fortune has NOTHING to do with intelligence.

McCain - Anchorman.

I didn’t know that.

The tradition is to take up a collection for the guy/gal/homosexual/lesbian/asexual/mitocent who graduates last in the class - the idea is they’ll need it when they wash out of the fleet.

Good to have family in high places in the Navy.

Dummy. That’s good - one word sums it up.

I’m starting to think Trump is a genius.

Ummm, no. I still run the anti-Rick Perry ping list created back in 2011.

I just do not support liberal Donald Trump who I see as being no smarter than Governor Mumbles Rick Perry. Trump is better on ILLEGAL immigration than Perry, though. But then, who isn't?
