Smith criticized President Donald Trump's decision to attend Game 3 of the NBA Finals.(Al Bello/Getty Images)"Well, I don’t know anybody that would associate the word 'sharp' with [Trump] because he doesn’t seem that sharp with some of the decisions that he makes sometimes, to be quite honest with you," Smith said.
"But I’m not here to denigrate or insult the President of the United States in that regard.He is certainly an upgrade from what we were seeing from Joe Biden in terms of his alertness and what have you.
I certainly would say that I would not accuse him of that.But I‘m not going to insult the president."Though he continued to claim that Trump was "napping" during the game, the ESPN host shrugged off the concern, pointing out that the president has "got a lot on his plate." However, Smith pushed back against Trump's past comments referring to him as a "low IQ individual.""When he wants to sit up there and question my IQ and talk to me about people that would smoke me in a debate, well, why don‘t you do it yourself? Why defer to anybody else? Because I‘d be more than happy to sit across from the president and debate some of the decisions that he‘s made.
And I‘m not interested in running or anything like that," Smith said.STEPHEN A SMITH SAYS SOME HAVE ‘A LOT OF DAMN NERVE’ FOR HAMMERING TRUMP ON IRAN AFTER FRE...
