October 3, 2025

Former US President Donald Trump considers his former colleagues – the current leaders of Russia, China and North Korea – to be the smartest people. He said so in an interview with Fox News.

“They are all the best. <…> These people are the best in their game,” said the former head of state.

Trump also noted that during his presidency he managed to establish excellent relations with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

The former White House chief also pointed to the high mental abilities of DPRK leader Kim Jong-un and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

How smart is Kim Jong Un? He is the best. People say one thing about him, then another. However, in reality, he is very intelligent <…> As for Putin, he is also very smart,” added the 45th President of the United States.

Previously, Trump had refused to name a possible culprit in the breach of the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines. According to him, he cannot do so because he does not want trouble for the United States.
