“She put on the glasses and got dumber” — Netizens troll Latto as she fails $2000 riddle about Trump being the 45th and 47th US President

The internet is ripping into Latto for her inability to answer questions about the President of America.

The Atlanta rapper was at the jewelry store, Jewelry Unlimited, on Monday, August 4, reportedly in search of a diamond necklace, when the jeweler decided to place a wager. He offered her a $2,000 discount on the custom diamond chain, if she could answer his question:

“The 45th president of the USA and the 47th president of the USA they both have the same parents. How is that possible?” he asked.

She took a second before slipping her glasses on in a bid to solve it:

“Hold on. These make me smarter,” she joked. “They got the same parents because God made us all, and we all got the same parents,” she answered. “Because we’re not on the 47th president yet.”

However, the jeweler eventually pointed out that Donald Trump is both the 45th and 47th president of the United States. “Too bad," Latto quipped.

The video is making its way around the internet, and fans are slamming the rapper for being unable to answer the seemingly obvious question. Here's how one user reacted, for instance:

"She put on the glasses and got dumber. Then people saying a lot of people would’ve got this wrong… I know and yall slow af too. there’s never been brothers as presidents so it’s literally only ONE answer"

The comments didn't end there:

"latto sIow asf i’m cryingggg," one user pointed out.

"maybe she shouldn’t have skipped school and waited in line for pink friday," another quipped.

"this guy knows what complexity question to ask just by seeing the person," someone else jokingly claimed.

"I thought she was gone say George Bush and his dad," a fourth user remarked.

See how the rest of X is reacting:

"Example that money can't buy everything... Stay in school kids," one user suggested.

"He said the 45th presidents name and it still didn’t register," another pointed out.

"She brought her glasses just to still be outsmarted," yet another jested.

"not a single thought behind those glasses," one more quipped.

Users were visibly disappointed with Latto for not being able to answer the question, though a large chunk also openly admitted to having gotten stuck with the question themselves.
