The mendacious temporary occupant of the White House is obsessed with his perception of IQ test results of others and himself. He often accuses those who have offended him (an easy task committed by countless citizens with functioning brains) with the schoolyard insult of “low IQ.”

He just did this again by referring to actor Robert De Niro as having a low IQ and being punch drunk. This sapient taunt fluttered from the stubby digits of the Dunce in Chief because De Niro had dropped the “F” bomb on our umbrageous chief executive at an awards ceremony earning a standing ovation.

Even a casual observer would recognize the constant projection on others of his own deficiencies is a hallmark of Mr. Thin Skin. He understands his own intellectual shortcomings so accuses others of them. In an IQ test contest my money would be on the Raging Bull, not the Full of Bull!
