Trump Jokes About Maxine Waters Needing An IQ Test At Gridiron Dinner
The left has a collective meltdown
President Trump has a fantastic sense of humor, the left? Not so much. The humorless left is in full meltdown mode after last night’s Gridiron dinner at which Trump made some hilarious remarks about the various idiocies of the media and Democrats during his first full year in office.
Ignoring many of the self-deprecating remarks about his administration, they seem particularly hysterical about Trump’s joke that Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) should take an IQ test.
You may recall that Trump “challenged” Secretary of State Tillerson to an IQ test. At the time, tensions were high with North Korea, and Trump apparently thought the media would do well to focus on troll fodder. They happily obliged.
Waters has been insisting that Congress open an investigation to find something on which they can impeach Trump (and after that, she says, she’ll “go after” Pence). It’s unsurprising, then, that the president would take a jab at her.
Though he poked fun at his own administration’s dysfunction (“It’s been really another calm week at the White House”), Trump saved some of his sharpest lines for Democrats, including when he said of Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA): “She has to immediately take an IQ test.”
Needless to say, the left went into immediate meltdown mode.
Trump made an incredibly racist crack about Maxine Waters needing to take an IQ test tonight at the Gridiron and it has barely even registered a mention in coverage of the event. An appalling moment that I can’t believe isn’t everyone’s lead takeaway.

It goes on and on.

For fun, let’s look at some compilation clips of Waters.
Here are some of favorite Waters moments:

Everyone on the left calls him an imbecile, unfit for office and the worst thing since Hitler yet when he cracks a joke (and comes awfully close to the truth) they lose their collective mind. Yep, reassuring his reelection.
A big part of the problem of brown people not thriving is that their average IQ are lower than other groups. Political correctness cannot fix this.
When slaves were collected and brought here their average IQ was about 70. That might explain comments at the time that they were like children. Today, the overall linage is hovering around 50% caucasian blood in American blacks, and their average IQ is now about 85.
Of course, the left objects to these facts, but their objections do not change reality.
Ignoring peoples’ innate capabilities does a disservice to both the individual and society.
Is anyone having a fit about low IQ people of other races being relegated to more megar existances?
I think it is time that government completely ignore race and focus solely on their innate capabilities.
The settled science® in the 20th century was that all humans are the same. The only reason some societies thrive and others don’t is due to culture.
This theory dominated throughout the 20th century and is still what drives most left wing social science. At its core, the idea is that whatever inter-species breeding occurred to cause homo sapiens to evolve into another species was done – and COMPLETED – in southern Africa. When the new species migrated out of Africa to populate all corners of the world, there was no additional inter-species breeding.
But we now know based on DNA that is wrong. Some homo sapiens that migrated to Europe and West Asia interbred with Neanderthals; some homo sapiens that migrated to East Asia and Oceania interbred with Denisovans; and some homo sapiens that stayed in Sub-Saharan Africa interbred with an unnamed now extinct hominin species.

Most of this interbreeding happened several tens of thousands of years ago. I have no clue if the genetic differences matter now. Maybe they’ve been diversified away after thousands of generations. Or maybe not. Maybe the theory that the only differences between us is “cultural” is wrong.
I came across this study that I find fascinating.
https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.1086/431525
From the abstract, an aboriginal tribe in Brazil in the 21 century has no capacity to count; no concept of numbers or how to quantify objects; no terms for colors; no use of pronouns; no creation myths or fiction; no art; no memory beyond two generations; and so on.
Some people have been engaging in complex engineering feats for thousands of years: whether it was whoever built the Egyptian and Mayan pyramids; Roman aqueducts; or the giant cathedrals of Europe. Humans have created complex engineered systems of travel (autos, jets and rockets); complex communication networks that connect people all over the world; and so on. Yet this aboriginal tribe in the 21st century still hasn’t figured out how to count? Does that sound like we are the same, and the only difference is culture? I’m skeptical.
Yeah, I’m sure slaves were given IQ tests in the 1600s and 1700s. Please don’t put your comments on this website anymore, you make us all look stupid.
This may be hard for you to grasp, but group IQs only change slowly if they are not crossbreeding with smarter or dumber people. So, all it takes is looking at average current IQs of the regions where slaves came from, pretty much starting on the west edge of Africa where the west coast goes to to the east and then turns south. The average in that area is and was about 70.
Sometimes the truth just isn’t funny.
— if one is the butt of the joke.
I have to disagree with President Trump. Maxine, the village idiot, doesn’t need an IQ test; it’s everyone voting for her, are the ones needing their IQ (not to mention their heads) examined. She is an embarrassment. It has to do with her idiocy not her race.
But her consistent reelection has everything to do with the racial composition of her Congressional district.
hey, pimps, ho’s, and gangbangers deserve one of their own to represent them, don’t they?
She’s slightly brighter than her constituents.
Kind of like the mooochelle obama constituents.
The racist Left doesn’t see the racism in being appalled that a black person should take an IQ test.
That’s what struck me, too. How in the heck is an IQ test racist?
She’s got a GED in IQ tests
If you don’t do well in it, it’s racist. If you do well in it, it’s not.
The Statists are melting down because they think the IQ test is too close to the old “literacy” tests used to disenfranchise the Black population.
They’re trying to draw a comparison in order to generate social outrage from the Low Information Voter, who doesn’t actually know the difference, and just feels the “moral outrage feels” from the Statist’s screaming.
Um, where have you been? It’s been an article of faith on the left for at least 40 years that IQ tests are inherently racist.
Starting in the sixties, there was huge political pressure to deny genetic causes of low IQ, in large part to protect some peoplew fram having to face reality. It is a fact that people are not created equal. The smartest in decreasing order:
Ashkenazi jews 112
Asians 106
Caucasians 100
Hispanics 87
American Blacks 85
Puerto Rican 83
Africans as low as 59
Obviously, IQ is only one facet of people.
Like it or not, those tests do have merit. For the most part, few people care about those who score low dissing the tests.
The Dems/Communists will say and do anything to disparage Pres. Trump. We don’t need to bother with an election in 2020, let’s go straight to his reelection party.
I suspect that the left knows that the average African American I.Q. is 85. I.Q.’s of Jews and Asians are significantly above the average white American I.Q. of 100. Data are well established. Lots of overlap (bell curves), of course.
Some groups defined success by the ability to run down a wounded wildebeest while other groups defined success by being able to figure percentages using Roman numerals. One group wins many medals in track and field while the other wins many Nobel prizes in math, chemistry and physics.
Just depends on the needs at the time.
Be careful with this statistic.
There’s a LOT of basic sociology that goes into this that the Low Information Voter isn’t going to get. Most of it has to do with 2-parent households, nuclear-extended family upbringing and early-childhood resource allocation.
single-mother households, especially those in urban areas, are less likely to have parent(s) that read to children early in childhood, less likely to have physically-manipulative toys which teach and develop early spacial physics understanding, and generally less likely to have early educational, health, and nutritional resources.
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: Lack of opportunity for the Black community isn’t a function of racism. It’s a function of GEOGRAPHY. Pick up and move from the inner-city of Chicago or Detroit, or Philadelphia to some medium size town in the same state, and there is going to be a statistically significant improvement in the educational development of the child in question.
Well, you might see a 5 point improvemenover environment, the rest is purely genetic. When slaves first came to America, they were too dumb to understand that they dumb, today, descendants of slaves are no smart enough to understand that they are slower, and resent it.
I think it is time that we start treating each individual according to their capabilities. That means that American blacks will produce higher IQs about one two thousands as often as caucasians. The implication is, trying to achieve job parity is a futile effort.
It’s beyond geography. People in inner city hell holes are kept there for political gain.
Follow Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson:

“On September 21, 2005, Peterson penned a column for WorldNetDaily, in which he suggested the majority of the African-American people stranded in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina were “welfare-pampered”, “lazy” and “immoral”. Peterson also criticized New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin for blaming President George W. Bush for his lack of response to the crisis, stating that “responsibility to perform legally and practically fell first on the Mayor of New Orleans.”[12] He has also claimed that African Americans are too dependent on affirmative action, calling it an entitlement.[13]
“Peterson once called for the resignation of Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele, saying he was not conservative enough but that Republicans were afraid of firing a black man.[14] Peterson thanked “God and white people” for slavery—adding that if it weren’t for the slave trade, blacks might have never made it to the United States—and described traveling on slave ships as akin to “being on a crowded airplane”.[8] He revealed in a tongue in cheek video, released on March 5, 2012, his belief that liberal women should not only lack the right to hold political office, but also cites the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution as a mistake, and expresses his view that most liberal women lack the ability to handle any form of political power.[15]
“On religious matters, Peterson has criticized Islam, saying that Muslims “hate us [America] because we are a Christian nation and we support Israel.”[16][17] Some liberals have criticized Peterson for his comments.[18]
Responding in WND to John Lewis’ criticism of Donald Trump:
“Lewis is not a hero, and he’s not an icon. He participated in the civil rights movement 50 years ago; since that time, he has not done anything good for the country – and especially for black Americans. And even if he was a hero in his time, if he does or says something wrong, and he’s in a position of authority, he should be chastised or corrected for what he’s done. He’s not above correction.”[19]

Like Reagan, President Trump both knows “entertainment” & plays it better than the media.
Further, he uses it to break down PC barriers. Well done.
Maxine Waters: Living biological proof that humans can live and function without a brain.
Even greater proof of the GOPe’s incompetence, in allowing the likes of waters to rise to congress.
Can you imagine the offspring of Maxine Waters and Hank (Is Guam gonna tip over) Johnson?
When you look into the eyes of Maxine Waters, all you see is the back of her head.
Sorry, but your comment made me think of this.

“Trump made an incredibly racist crack …”
… and Maxine Waters is that “incredible racist”
Or just see if she can spell ‘IQ test.’
“e-y-e-k-w-o-o-o”
Weird. Mathew Miller assumes its automatically racist to question someone’s intelligence if that someone happens to be black.
Miller must believe blacks are stupid.
IQ test? Hell, check for human DNA. If she passes that, the human race is an evolutionary dead end.
Calling her merely retarded is a kindness, not racism. Racism is ignoring the fact she is retarded as the media has done for 47 years.
Obama isn’t much higher quality of a thinker as waters is. He’s just better schooled, and even more protected by the media.
Mooochelle/Ellison 2020!
Maxine Waters needs an IQ test? This is not a joke.
Better yet, waters needs a mueller-type investigation.
IMAGINE what that would turn up?
She wears a lot of wigs. Does she have anything underneath?
Maxine waters is as dumb as a box of rocks but that has nothing to do with the color of her skin. As a matter of fact, all those calling racism ONLY see the color of her skin. They are the problem.
Waters aside, there are more than just a few sitting members of Congress who would not fare well on an IQ test.
I apologize Mr. President, but we don’t have an IQ test that scores that low.
Also, I am still looking for the racist part?
No IQ test needed , she is a self certified idiot.
I’m fairly sure any IQ test she takes would show at least 140
140ppb that is.
She had an I.Q. test.
It came back negative.
Being black is not a shield from being criticized. I don’t know if she is stupid or simply pandering for recognition as many in the eye of the media do.
Being black most certainly is a shield from being criticized, were you napping these past eight, or so. years?
I’d go for drug test too.
He, she would fail an IQ test!
Imagine the fun Don Rickles would have roasting Waters?
It takes many years to be a great comedian. Waters is still practicing.
“…Maxine Waters needing to take an IQ test tonight at the Gridiron and it has barely even registered…”
There you have it folks.
She had an IQ test. She tested negative.
