DELAWARE, OHIO: GOP Presidential candidate Donald Trump said during a rally in Delaware that he doesn't like to be called 'stupid' and added that he has 'a lot of geniuses' in his family.

He told a crowd of his supporters on Wednesday, August 28, that he comes from a lineage of geniuses recalling a past conversation where he asked "Is there a test or something I can take to prove to these radical left maniacs that I'm much smarter than them?" as per OK Magazine.



 

Trump says he doesn't like to be called 'stupid'

Trump said during the event, "I don't like when people call me stupid. I had great heritage, an uncle who was a great, great genius and a father who was a genius. Everybody, we have a lot of geniuses."

He told the crowd in Detroit, "These people are just so destructive, so— I always look for good words, highly sophisticated, and I'm highly educated. I like sophisticated words. There's only one word I get — that's stupid. Stupid people."

Moreover, Trump, despite not liking being called 'stupid,' called his former chief of staff and the man he appointed as his top military adviser 'stupid,' according to MSNBC.

Trump said in a podcast interview, "Milley was a stupid person, very stupid." He added that people like John Kelly, another former Trump chief of staff and retired Marine General, are "one of the dumbest people I’ve ever met. A bully, but a weak bully."

A user also wrote, "If one was looking for evidence of his stupidity, this explanation could be exhibit A," while one commented, "Hey Trump. You are as stupid as the day is long. In Anchorage in the summer."



 



 

A person also mentioned, "They definitely skipped a couple of generations, starting with you then."
