Donald Trump Thinks Rick Perry Should Take ‘IQ Test’ Before Presidential Debate
The Wrap ^ | July 17, 2015 | Jordan Chariton

Posted on 07/17/2015 10:23:35 AM PDT by BradtotheBone

Another day, another Donald Trump doozie.

The presidential candidate, who’s soared to No. 1 among Republican presidential candidates in the latest Fox News poll, attacked opponent Rick Perry’s intelligence on Twitter Thursday.

“.@GovernorPerry just gave a pollster quote on me. He doesn’t understand what the word demagoguery means,” Trump tweeted.

He followed up with a proposal: “.@GovernorPerry failed on the border. He should be forced to take an IQ test before being allowed to enter the GOP debate.”

Trump’s tirade against the former Texas governor came after Perry tweeted: .@realDonaldTrump-ism not conservatism but a toxic mix of demagoguery and nonsense.”

Trump also tweeted his ire at Senator John McCain, who was the Republican nominee for president in 2008.

“The thousands of people that showed up for me in Phoenix were amazing Americans. @SenJohnMcCain called them “crazies” — must apologize!” he tweeted.

Trump then insulted McCain’s intelligence: “.@SenJohnMcCain should be defeated in the primaries. Graduated last in his class at Annapolis — dummy!”

Would you name a state that did more to protect the US border over Texas?

No, but should the states act if the federal government doesn't? Who bears much of the costs for illegal aliens?

Answer: State and local governments. This is the basis for the states fighting Obama's executive amnesty. They are bearing most of the costs of amnesty. Of course, Perry has no problem with in-state tuition for the lawbreakers.

“So Nick when is Trump going to pull out of the race to throw his support for Hillary?”

Right after he fails to disclose his financials. Oh wait...

“Says the man who constantly repeats himself”

Trump’s repetitions are petty and humorous. Certain other politicians’ repetitions are dangerous lies.

No, but...

Perry did not fail on the border, Obama did.

Texas spends more on border security than any other state, but the folks from other states claim we are not doing enough.

Sad...

Stop believing everything a liberal says. His daddy gave him a fortune and he underperformed and would have lost everything if his brother and other people didn’t bail him out. He is a competent mid-level New York Real estate developer. Which hardly makes him a genius.

I was thinking that was the only one. But it went under.

What's the cost of Perry's in state tuition for illegal aliens?

Read his original quote. Of course, later he said they are fabulous and hard working and should stay in the U.S. But he was equally as vague. Basically trusting anything he says is foolish.

SenJohnMcCain called them “crazies”

This really irks me. Can you IMAGINE McCain ever calling illegal aliens "crazies"? Or any other insulting name? No...he would never offend them. Only conservative Americans can be so insulted with impunity. Shows where we stand with our so-called "leaders."

And yet you can’t refute them. You will trust anything your liberal idol says.

LoL. No doubt Forbes has woefully underestimated Trump's net worth.

Currently, at least 18 states have provisions allowing for in-state tuition rates for undocumented students. (those states are over half the US population)

Illegal immigration is a problem of the nation, not just the border states.

Read his original quote.

I have.

Trump:

(My bold)

If "some are good people", then all aren't rapists.

Basically trusting anything he says is foolish.

I don't trust Trump. I've made that point in many posts.

What I'm doing here is pointing out how the press and now Rick Perry have distorted what Trump said.
