Last night, President Trump went to the Knicks game. Upon hearing Trump planned to attend, sports broadcaster Stephen A. Smith said he'd blame Trump if the Knicks lost (Spoiler Alert: they did, but obviously, it wasn't Trump's fault).
Later, President Trump was asked about Smith's remarks and as always, his reply was hilarious. Trump always knows which buttons to push.

Donald Trump: I think he's a nice guy but you need a certain aptitude to run for president. You need a high IQ, I don't really think Stephen A Smith has that

Clearly, Trump doesn't think Smith should run for POTUS.
Stephen A Smith responds to Donald Trump calling him a low IQ individual on First Take:

“You wanna talk about IQ, I could say I could put my IQ against yours, I got something even better I could ask you why you been running from me for the past year since I asked you to talk to… https://t.co/iI1DpLjkRb pic.twitter.com/Edon6R1fzF
Smith just shot back Trump should agree to an interview with him since he is allegedly more intelligent than Smith and prove it. Obviously, this arrangement would most benefit Smith as it would bring all kinds of clicks. Trump doesn't need any more attention.

Why so soft spoken? What happened to El A. Chapo Smith? You don’t want to make any enemy out of me? I know where the bodies buried, yelling WWE Mr. A. I’m disappointed. https://t.co/dlV0wELWi6

Maybe Stephen is feeling a bit cowered?
LMFAO how did he bait himself into a beef with the president that has nothing to do with the issues we have with President and everything to do with his ego I’m crying. This man is a generational troll. https://t.co/RO3Osjj7cC

Stephen A is as low IQ as it gets. Skip and him ruined ESPN. Stephen thinks being loud and obnoxious means he has talent.

Trump calling Stephen A a nice guy right before completely vaporizing his intellect is generational violence 😂

God broke the mold when he made Trump.

Indeed, he was big mad.
Trump never wastes an opportunity. Stephen A. spent all that energy talking up the disruption and still handed him the perfect setup. Knicks fans did not need this.

Stephen walked right into that one.
