Trump usually only uses the "Low IQ" insult in reference to black people. It's a substitute for the N-word.

I don't think "low IQ" is as bad as Trump thinks it is.
But if Trump insists on using that phrase as an insult, I think he should take an IQ test from an impartial tester, and have the entire thing recorded, and publish the results.
I can't imagine that a person who has as low a reading skill as Trump would do very well on an IQ test, though.
Always assume projection
He has probably been told this by a doctor and it's one of the most upsetting things he has heard, so it's living in his head rent free
Let's not reinforce the idea that IQ tests prove anything. Even if it's to pown Trump
Exactly this. IQ tests are pseudo scientific nonsense.
It’s astrology for white supremacists.
IQ tests measure how good you are at solving IQ tests.
I don't need a test to know that he's a moron.
Trump is so childish that “ur dumb” is his most common comeback when someone does something he disapproves of. How can anyone take this guy seriously?
Well, Trump is probably slightly below average intelligence.
The funny thing about that is there are a lot of people below that level. That’s the power of the average. He’s smart enough to lead the large population of very dumbs and that’s good enough to form a base.
The problem is that stupid people are confident they know everything, and smart people are sure they don't know everything.
Especially as this comes literally less than 24 hours after the assassination attempt last night where he talked about the need to settle our differences peacefully with respect
Yeah, he wants respect for MAGA, which they do t deserve and won't get. Exactly the opposite, in fact.
Turn up the heat, and keep turning it up. Make these treasonous pedophiles terrified to go in public. They don't deserve to mingle with decent, moral, patriotic American citizens.
imagine the hold Israel has of this guy
She doesn't like Israel. I think that's all it really takes to be evicted.
The dumbest goddamn student his Wharton professor's ever had calls someone else "low IQ"
Trump, trump , trump, how predictable, boring and small coming from the vilest person of the century.
protects sex offenders
Well they're not wrong there!
Stay classy ya festering dick blister.
Strong case of pot calling the kettle black (no pun intended).
Someone needs to make a fake Time cover with something like 'LOW IQ INDIVIDUAL OF THE YEAR!' It needs to go viral, if for no other reason than he's more likely to see it, then. And it'll piss him off. And that'll be good.
They eat each other.
