Journalist Has All The Receipts After Top Trump Economic Advisor Claims Trump Is Just An 'Exaggerator' With A 180 IQ

Journalist Has All The Receipts After Top Trump Economic Advisor Claims Trump Is Just An 'Exaggerator' With A 180 IQ
Al Jazeera

President Donald Trump has repeatedly referred to himself as a "stable genius," but after nearly three years into his presidency, Americans are waking up to the fact that he's far from a genius and about as stable as a house of cards.

Someone needs to alert the economic advisor of his 2016 campaign, Stephen Moore.


Moore is the author of Trumponomics: Inside the America First Plan to Revive Our Economy, which Trump endorsed via tweet. Moore was under consideration to join the White House for a position within the Federal Reserve, but withdrew from consideration after numerous sexist articles of his brought backlash.

That hasn't stopped him from continuing to praise Donald Trump. He attempted to vouch for Trump's character and intelligence in an appearance on Al Jazeera's Head to Head with journalist Medhi Hasan.

It didn't go well.

Watch below.

At first, Moore tried to dismiss Trump's propensity for lying, or—as Moore put it—exaggerating.

"I think Trump is an exaggerator, and I think it gets him in trouble. It's like he said we're going to get 5% growth. We knew we weren't going to get 5% growth."

Hasan immediately pointed out that, while Trump certainly exaggerates, he lies at least as often—if not more.

The conversation got even more laughable when the subject turned to Trump's intelligence, with Moore saying:

"I think people underestimate his intelligence. I bet his IQ … I think he's probably got about a 180 IQ. The guy is amazing, his breadth of knowledge about the world affairs."

Hasan wasn't about to let that claim go unchallenged:

"This is a man who thinks wind turbines cause cancer, you can stop a hurricane with a nuclear weapon, thinks you need ID to buy box of cereal"

Moore conceded.

"I don't know. I'm not here to defend everything Donald Trump says."

Twitter users were just as incredulous at Moore's statements as the live audience was.




But Hasan's expert line of questioning didn't go unnoticed.



If Trump's IQ is 180, Hasan's must be off the charts.

Conservatives Predictably Outraged After Mattel Introduces New Barbie With Type 1 Diabetes

Conservatives lashed out at toymaker Mattel after the company introduced a new Barbie doll with Type 1 diabetes, including an insulin pump and blood sugar tracker—an action they say is "woke" while not understanding the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.

Mattel revealed a new partnership with Breakthrough T1D— formerly known as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation—to launch a Barbie doll that authentically represents people living with Type 1 diabetes. The collaboration, Mattel said, ensures the doll “truly captures the community,” including accessories that “accurately reflect the medical equipment” commonly used by individuals with the condition.

MAGA Influencer Charlie Kirk Called Out After Blaming DEI For High Death Toll In Texas Flooding Disaster

Turning Point USA founder and MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk was harshly criticized after he claimed the death toll in the flash floods that have devastated central Texas "would not have been as high if it wasn't for DEI," ridiculously suggesting that principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion were responsible.

Kirk's comments are reflective of President Donald Trump’s broader push to dismantle federal programs focused on diversity and inclusion—part of what he pledged in his inaugural address would be a campaign to stop attempts to “socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.”
