President Trump is clearly no fan of Fox News host Chris Wallace, having called him a “wannabe” who is “nasty and obnoxious” and “will never be his father.”

In one particularly odd moment, they tangled over the president’s cognitive tests. Trump recently boasted that he “aced” the test. “They said, ‘that’s an unbelievable thing. Rarely does anybody do what you just did,’ Trump said on Fox News last week. “But [Biden] should take that same test.”
Wallace, making the point that “it’s not the hardest test,” highlighted one of the questions, which asks the test-taker to identify a picture of an elephant.
Then, when Wallace showed Trump a Fox News poll that found more Americans feel Biden is the most mentally fit of the two candidates, Trump issued a challenge. “Let’s take a test right now,” he said. “Let’s go down, Joe and I will take a test. Let him take the same test that I took.”
In another testy exchange, Wallace challenged Trump over his claims that Biden has called for defunding the police. The president asked one of is staff to bring him proof, but after flipping through the document that was brought to him, Wallace said he wasn’t able to provide it.

On the flip side, Wallace was the villain, according to the low IQ MAGA crew.
