President Donald Trump has questioned Robert De Niro’s intelligence a mere day after doing one of the most stupid things the so-called ‘leader of the free world’ could possibly do.

Trump used the platform of all responsible heads of state – Twitter – to strike back at De Niro after the actor denounced the President at an awards ceremony in front of millions of people on television and subsequently social media.

Implying the actor was brain damaged because he once played a boxer in a film, Trump used his usual trick of claiming intellectual superiority over anyone who disagrees with him.

However, the president seemed less than bothered that this exchange came within twenty-four hours of him committing one of the most stupid, short-sighted acts in geopolitical history.
