Don't be coy. You'd totally watch this if it were pay-per-view.

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.

In an interview with Forbes published Tuesday, Trump suggested he and Tillerson — who allegedly once called the commander in chief a “moron” — go head-to-head in an intelligence quotient showdown. The State Department has denied Tillerson ever made the comments.

“I think it's fake news,” Trump told the magazine of Tillerson’s “moron” remark, “but if he did that, I guess we'll have to compare IQ tests. And I can tell you who is going to win."

ITK reached out to the geniuses at Mensa — which describes itself as “an international society whose only qualification for membership is a score in the top 2 percent of the general population on a standardized intelligence test” — and asked if they’d be willing to take Trump’s suggestion. “American Mensa would be happy to hold a testing session for President Trump and Secretary Tillerson,” said Charles Brown, the group’s communications director.

That, I assume, would be the point. I wouldn't pay just to watch them fill out the answers in private and wait while the judges grade the tests.
 
45 probably thinks that it's menses not Mensa and some kind of lady parts test.

Trump would do it, but he can’t as he is in the middle of a brain audit so his lawyer won’t let him...

Actually, Trump will treat this like he treats releasing his tax returns. He will agree to be tested, then not show up, claiming that he is a Scientologist and is being audited. LOL.

Hm. I thought IQ tests were racist and proved nothing.
 
I wish we had the option of instant emojis. I get so used to it with FB and twitter and here, all I can do is "like."

Some posts need so much more than a like.
 
That fat lady that trump uses as a press person said he was just "joking"

Apparently Trump doesn't agree. He thinks they matter. Probably in inverse proportion to hand size.

Yeah, well.... just seems a smidge odd to me, that for many people their disdain or respect for IQ tests apparently depends on the context in which they are presented.

IE "supports my existing view" = IQ tests matter
"Attacks my existing view" = IQ tests are racist and outdated and prove nothing.
 
Rex better be careful. Let's not forget that Trump "has a very good brain" and "has said a lot of things". Donald will rek u m8!
 
Im all for it.....my IQ is somewhere between a bowl of Jell-O and Stephen Hawking. :prof
 
Aides are saying trump was serious...He wants to prove his IQ is superior to all other humans...But the angry fat lady that is trump's Press person ...Said it was just a joke...Who to believe?

For just this one time, I would like to believe Trump's claim but must see his score. Quite frankly, I do not believe his score to be up with Mozart or Einstein.
 
I see MENSA is still operating under the illusion that IQ testing is an accurate indicator of universal intelligence.

You'd think they would've figured that one out by now. :)
 
Trump will try to cheat like he does at golf.
