Donald Trump is getting played by North Korea leader Kim Jong Un, who realizes the real low-IQ person is the president, House Foreign Affairs Committee member Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY) said Monday.
Meeks was responding to Trumps controversial comments that appeared to endorse North Korea state medias attack on the intelligence of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, whom the president again called a low IQ individual. At the same time, the president shrugged off recent missile tests by North Korea, despite a stern warning from his own National Security Adviser John Bolton that Kim was violating Security Council resolutions.

I think Kim is playing the president, Meeks told CNNs Brooke Baldwin. He played him in the first summit, he played him at the second summit. So Kim realizes that the real low-IQ person is the president and he can continue to play games with him all along until Kim gets what he wants. In fact, Kim has already gotten what he wants: the world stage.
Kim isnt the only troubling leader that Trump imagines is his friend, Meeks added.
Trump seems to side with and like the people that are like Kim Jong Un, as well as Russian President Vladimir Putin, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, and Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the congressman said. Meeks described them all as strong-arm leaders in close to fascist-type societies where its dominated by the executive.
