The Atlantic’s Jemele Hill hit her old ESPN colleague Stephen A. Smith with a brutal reminder Tuesday after his dinner with President Donald Trump at the White House.

“Oh, by the way, ain’t this the same dude that basically called you stupid? He called you stupid!” said Hill on her “SPOLITICS Live” podcast while referring to Trump insulting the sports personality back in June.

“He told America you were stupid and low IQ. Gotta say, when I think about dinner companionship, last person I want to have dinner with is someone who called me stupid to the world. Not just in a private conversation, where we arguing. Told the whole world I’m stupid.

“They’re not going to be on my priority list, but hey — if you like it, I love it!”

On Thursday, Smith was joined at dinner by Kid Rock and Bill Maher, a past guest of Trump despite the president calling him a “jerk” and summing up their last supper as a “total waste of time” back in February.

Then came Trump’s not-so-kind words for Smith.

After the president’s less-than-celebrated attendance at the New York Knicks only loss in this year’s NBA Finals, he took on Smith over his pregame prediction that he’d be bad luck for the team.

“I think he’s a nice guy, but you need a certain aptitude to run for president. You need a high IQ. I’m not sure that Stephen has that,” said Trump in what was essentially a reversal of his talk that he’d love to see the “smart” sports personality run for president.

Smith responded by challenging him to a debate, declaring on CNN, “Want some? Come get some. I’ll show up.”

He’s since used a recent episode of his show to claim that Trump “could not have been nicer” and didn’t “run from any questions” at their dinner last week.

Hill noted that Smith said he was on a mission to talk to Trump about a need for funding at historically Black colleges and universities.

Hill argued that sitting down with someone on the opposite end of the political spectrum is fine if “there is some common ground to be reached,” before adding that there’s “nothing” about Trump that suggests this.

“He’s stubborn, he’s bullish and, most importantly, he rarely shows displays of compassion. He’s not a compassionate person,” Hill emphasized.

“So trying to appeal to his sensibility and appeal to his compassion to me is a dummy mission. Not that the person doing it is a dummy, but it is a dummy mission, meaning, what’s the point?”
