Mensa offers to host IQ test for Trump and Tillerson
To the lengthening list of shit you can't make up, add this:
Trump: 'I didn't undercut' Tillerson with IQ comment
The president told Forbes magazine that if Tillerson did actually call him a “moron,” then, “I guess we'll have to compare IQ tests, and I can tell you who is going to win.”
Buhlieve me!
Man, if they televised the 'test off' I'd watch just to see Trump's brow furrow and to hear him mutter "fake questions!!"

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 two 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.
When asked if any American president or Cabinet member has ever taken a Mensa admission test before, Brown pointed out that while the group can confirm membership, it doesn’t release who’s actually taken the brain-busting exam.
His assistant, Lucy, promised not to pull that football gag on either Trump or Tillerson.
“But it’s important to note that our admissions test is not the sole way to qualify for Mensa — there are hundreds of other prior-evidence tests that can qualify a member,” Brown said. “And the early success of many presidents no doubt exposed them to those types of qualifying avenues.”
Naming former President Bill Clinton’s experience as a Rhodes Scholar, Jimmy Carter’s work as a nuclear engineer, and George H.W. Bush’s time as a military pilot, Brown told us, “Each could have encountered standardized academic tests (LSAT, GMAT, Miller Analogies), where qualifying scores would have propelled them into Mensa.”

Trump: 'I didn't undercut' Tillerson with IQ comment
President Trump said Tuesday he did not undercut Secretary of State Rex Tillerson by offering to compare IQ tests with the top diplomat.
“No I didn't undercut anybody,” Trump said when asked if his comments undermined Tillerson. “I don't believe in undercutting people." Trump spoke after he suggested he is smarter than Tillerson, saying in an interview published earlier Tuesday that he could beat him in an IQ test.
The president told Forbes magazine that if Tillerson did actually call him a “moron,” then, “I guess we'll have to compare IQ tests, and I can tell you who is going to win.”
Trump reiterated that he still has confidence in the secretary of State, a statement he made last week. “Yes,” he said when asked by reporters.
