Donald Trump’s fixation on IQ may only be rivaled by his obsession with crowd sizes. A self-proclaimed genius, his preoccupation with intelligence reveals his deep-seated insecurities. Eager to curry favor, the sycophants he surrounds himself with often resort to absurdly exaggerated praise of his intellect, both in public statements and on social media.
In a preposterous attempt to ingratiate himself with his boss, Stephen Moore, a senior economic adviser to Donald Trump, once claimed during an interview that Trump’s IQ was probably “about 180”. To put this into perspective, the IQ of Albert Einstein is believed to have been approximately 160.
A more objective assessment would likely reduce Moore’s score by about 100 points. In other words, Donald Trump’s IQ is probably only marginally above clinically retarded.
A few reminders — Donald Trump is a man who…
- Speculated about treating — not preventing, but treating — Covid with household cleaning fluids and disinfectants “by injection” and bringing light inside the body.
- Has argued that being captured disqualifies a soldier from hero status.
- Claimed he could declassify documents simply by thinking about it.
- Stated that American forces “took over the airports” during the Revolutionary War.
- Inquired if the US could purchase Greenland.
- Believes that noise generated by wind turbines causes cancer.
- Despite being the most protected individual in the world, contracted Covid before effective treatments were widely available and at a time when nearly 1000 deaths per day were occurring in the US.
- Pressured the Georgia Secretary of State to find only one more vote than necessary to win the state (ignoring the illegality of this request to manufacture votes, a minimally intelligent person would have requested a reasonable cushion to allow for some margin of error, rather than a single additional vote).
Such a history suggests that Donald Trump is incapable of understanding anything more cerebral than the urge to have a bowel movement.
Nevertheless, his opinion of his intelligence surpasses even than that of his most servile minions. In his own words
“Sorry losers and haters, but my I.Q. is one of the highest—and you all know it!”
Well, I certainly don’t “know it”. It seems to me that Donald Trump is like an entire special education class rolled into a single individual. He has all the problems — the low IQ, absolute minimal attention span, lack of self-discipline, compulsively disruptive, suffers from multiple learning disabilities…
If your child behaved like Donald Trump, he or she would be in a special education class, no doubt about it.
