'Oh my god': Trump triggers wave of ridicule asking crowd to imagine a moron as president [View all]

https://www.rawstory.com/trump-moron-test/

Trump asked people to imagine a scenario where "all of a sudden you're stuck with a man who's a moron," triggering immediate mockery from critics who said that that's already the case.

Trump made the comment while speaking in The Villages, Florida, on Friday. He was plugging his proposed cognitive test, saying it would screen out idiots.

"I mean, you get a guy who gets in there, he's got a good line of crap. He gets in, and all of a sudden, you're stuck with a man who's a moron,” said Trump. "This is not good."

He then took a swipe at his predecessor.

Commentators quickly called out what they saw as irony.

"That would be bad if that ever happened," Meidas Touch editor-in-chief Ron Filipkowski sarcastically said on X.

"We know. He's president right now," quipped @DianeSevenay.

"Amazing," the Tennessee Holler posted. "He must be feeling like people think he’s a real dummy to be talking about this so much lately."

"OH. MY. GOD," wrote the account @AntiToxicPeople. "No words imaginable for the lack of self awareness."

"He doesn't know he's talking about himself," @GeoffBrown82 posted. "He’s totally clueless."

"You're a [expletive] moron," @AesPolitics1 wrote.
