Trump Used His Go-To Insult In Interview After Knicks Loss -- And Experts Say It's A Pattern

"First Take" host Stephen A. Smith slammed President Donald Trump on Tuesday morning after Trump told reporters on Monday night that Smith wouldn't be a good fit to run for president because "you need a high IQ."

The ESPN host opened the episode standing in front of a projected American flag with "Hail to the Chief" playing in the background.

"He wants to sit up there and talk about my low IQ?" Smith said. "I could put my IQ against yours. I got something even better — I could ask you why you've been running from me for the past year since I asked you to talk to me. I could ask you to debate me since you think you're that dude. We could go a myriad of ways."

Trump was about to board Air Force One on Monday night when a reporter asked how he felt about Smith — "who has talked about running for president" — blaming him for the New York Knicks' loss in Game 3 of the NBA Finals.

Donald likes to throw around his 'low-IQ' claim.
When Trump insulted Rex Tillerson's intelligence, MENSA offered to monitor an IQ test for Trump.
Donald was smart enough to not accept their offer.
