In an I.Q.-test tournament devised by Donald Trump to determine the smartest person in his Administration, Trump suffered a humiliating defeat on Tuesday, getting knocked out in the first round by Education Secretary Betsy DeVos.

Trump had personally created the brackets for the tournament, which he had hoped would lead to an I.Q.-championship showdown between him and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.

“He was determined to face Betsy in the first round,” a White House source said of Trump. “He thought it would be like a bye week.”

Trump was stung by DeVos’s upset win, however, and lashed out at the I.Q. test itself, calling it both “fake” and “rigged,” according to the source.

“It had been a while since he had taken an I.Q. test,” the source said. “He had forgotten there was a spelling section.”

1. He should have started competing in the guard dog division first.

He might have done better there. might.

2. Hilarious

Borowitz has had to really up his game since Impotus was not elected by the popular vote. Prior levels of satire were no longer adequate. Last I heard Borrowitz was in negotiations for a pay raise commiserate with the increased level of effort necessary to mock and shame this shameless shit show. 😬

3. DeVos even beat him in the Duplo section.

Even though they're made for little hands.
