Martina Navratilova hit out at Donald Trump for his “low IQ” comments about John Kelly. The American tennis legend criticized the Republican leader and took a sly dig for his “orange makeup”.

Navratilova’s comments came as a response to Trump’s remarks about Kelly at his rally in North Carolina. The Republican presidential candidate took aim at Kelly, the former Marine general who was his longest-serving chief of staff.

The 74-year-old made claims about Trump being a fascist and said that if Trump came to power, he would rule like a dictator.

Certainly, the former president is in the far-right area, he’s certainly an authoritarian, admires people who are dictators — he has said that. So he certainly falls into the general definition of fascist, for sure. He certainly prefers the dictator approach to government.

Trump certainly came across these comments from Kelly and he decided to give it back. During his rally, the 78-year-old took a shot at his former chief of staff, calling him a low-IQ guy.

I just saw General Kellogg wherever he may be backstage… He is a real general not like Milley. Not like Kelly, low, he is a low IQ guy.

With less than a week left for the American presidential election, the competition is getting fierce. The United States will elect its 47th President on November 5. While Trump is the Republican candidate, Vice President Kamala Harris has been elected as the Democrats’ candidate.

As of Tuesday, FiveThirtyEight’s daily election poll tracker shows Vice President Harris leading the national polls with a 1.5-percentage-point advantage over former President Trump. However, this lead has decreased slightly from last week’s 1.8-point margin, indicating that Trump is gradually closing the gap.
