President Donald Trump recently responded to comments made by ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith regarding Trump’s attendance at the New York Knicks’ NBA Finals game. Smith had stated that Trump’s attendance would be a detriment to NBA fans and the city.

Trump’s Response

Trump was asked to respond to Smith’s comments and stated that he wasn’t sure Smith had the aptitude or high IQ to run for office. Smith had criticized Trump further on his show and podcast, questioning Trump’s America First policies and his involvement in conflicts in the Middle East.

Trump shot back, calling Smith an ‘arrogant fool, a low IQ individual’ who would get ‘annihilated’ in a debate by even the most incompetent politicians. Smith has teased a possible presidential run in the past.

Smith claimed he was only being critical of Trump for attending the Knicks’ game, knowing it would cause inconvenience and displace thousands of people with their watch parties outside the Garden. He felt Trump should appreciate the momentum built by these fans, given his Queens, New York, roots.
