Another day in the presidential covfefe-grinder, as the ever-reliable Trump rhetoric gets exposited.
President Trump did not imply he was smarter than Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, his top spokesperson said Tuesday, claiming his offer for both to take an IQ test was a joke.
Sanders's comments came after an interview Trump gave earlier on Tuesday, in which he suggested he could beat Tillerson at an IQ test.
That remark follows a
report from NBC News last week that Tillerson, frustrated with the president, called Trump a "moron."
And Trump has continued with his own Sister Souljah moment
But the reality will come from the Manafort machinations of putting Pence in the Veep seat, since the moment when Flynn got cut loose because he “lied” to Pence, might have been that tipping point in Biglygate.
According to emails reported by Buzzfeed on Tuesday, Bannon said of Pence’s nomination: “This is the price we pay for cruzbots and #nevertrump movement. An unfortunate necessity … very.”
In the Republican primary Pence had endorsed, albeit weakly, the Texas senator Ted Cruz. His selection by Trump was viewed at the time as an attempt to reach out to social conservatives skeptical of the thrice-married New York real estate developer.
The pick was widely reported to be the result of efforts by the then campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, to push Trump to unite a party bitterly divided by Trump’s rise to defeat a crowded primary field.
Is it Liddle (as in baby-talk), Little (as in short), or Liddy (as in G. Gordon):
Richard H. Thaler, the University of Chicago professor who this week won the Nobel Prize in economics, expressed his views about President Donald Trump in the form of a simple, unflattering number.
“His ratio of certitude to knowledge is nearing record highs,” Thaler said on Bloomberg Radio with Tom Keene and David Gura. “We all need a lot of humility, and especially about the economy.”
