At a campaign rally in Nevada, Donald Trump went way out on a limb with a guess at just how smart his supporters are. Well, maybe not way out on a limb, but he was counting on them not realizing he was insulting them to their faces.

Or maybe he just didn’t think this through.

Either way, in the course of crowing about how smart he is, he told the Nevada crowd again about the cognitive test he took. You remember, the “person, woman, man, camera, TV” test. Then he basically told them they were too stupid to pass it.

The crowd cheered him for saying “There’s only about 2% of this room that can do it.”

“The first couple of questions are easy, like they have a lion, giraffe, a whale, and a shark. They’ll say, which one is the lion? Okay? That’s all the press covered, the first question. They didn’t cover the last question. Multiply 4733, multiplied times seven. Divide, without paper and pencil, divided by four. Add up another 37.5. I remember that. What’s your number? How many people in this room could do it? Not too many.

Or they give you six names in a row. I took a lot of heat on this. They give you six names in a row at the beginning. ‘Sir, I’m gonna give you six names.’ Good. They look at them. A chair, a hat, a badge, a necklace, and a vote. Those things. ‘We’re going to give you six things.’ I said, ‘Good, what’s going on?’ Can you rename them? So, I rename them. Then they go back, and if you can do it in order, that’s even better. I do them in order. Perfect.

Then they come back to you 30 minutes later at the end, last question. They say, ‘What were those six things?’ There aren’t too many people, and I get… they laughed. Everyone said, ‘Oh, that’s so easy.’ There’s only about 2% of this room that can do it, but I did it. I did it very easily. But I got mocked. They said, ‘oh, that’s so easy.’ It’s not easy.”

Wow.

Number one, even in Trump’s delusions, everyone calls him “sir.” Number two, Donnie, that’s only five things you just said they listed, even though they told you they were gonna do six.

Number three, of all the things that never happened, that math problem with no paper or pencil didn’t happen the most.

At least he was right about his cheering crowd of baboons.
