On Saturday, Stormy Daniels‘ lawyer Michael Avenatti called for the nation’s presidential candidates to be required to submit to an intelligence test, including Donald Trump.

“Why shouldn’t all presidential candidates have to take the Wonderlic or a similar test and have the results published?” Avenatti tweeted out. “This should be required in 2020 for all (inc Mr. Trump). We deserve to know the intelligence level of the person who wants to be our president (a big factor)!”

The Wonderlic is an intelligence test often used in hiring. According to the test’s website, “Organizations large and small trust our scientifically validated tests to make informed selection decisions.”

Avenatti’s tweet appears to be only a thinly veiled attempt to poke at Trump and one of his favorite boasts, his status as a stable genius.

Trump has repeatedly called his opponents “low IQ” while praising his own intellect.

Congresswoman Maxine Waters, an extraordinarily low IQ person, has become, together with Nancy Pelosi, the Face of the Democrat Party. She has just called for harm to supporters, of which there are many, of the Make America Great Again movement. Be careful what you wish for Max!

Robert De Niro, a very Low IQ individual, has received too many shots to the head by real boxers in movies. I watched him last night and truly believe he may be “punch-drunk.” I guess he doesn’t…

Sorry losers and haters, but my I.Q. is one of the highest -and you all know it! Please don't feel so stupid or insecure,it's not your fault

According to The Washington Post, there may also be a reason why Trump is so reticent to actually make good on his genius IQ boasts, despite calling others out repeatedly as it suits him.

According to WaPo, other presidents appear to have genius IQs, not Trump.
