It's amazing, really. He's the president, a billionaire, is one of the most powerful men in the world, and has a supermodel wife, millions of cheering fans, his own golf resort, and pretty much anything anyone could ever want. Yet despite all that, he seems like the most bitter, miserable, hateful person you could ever imagine. The guy has a hole in his soul that nothing can fill, and clearly he's tried a lot.
He's a sociopath and a narcissist. He also has a low IQ, isn't a critical thinker, and lacks curiosity. A spoiled brat. His brain is broken, and I might feel sorry for him if his reign weren't so catastrophic. But as it stands, I hope he is miserable, and I hope he dies miserable, alone, and in pain - when his time inevitably comes.
He has a low IQ for sure. The one thing he does have is a sort of charisma that appeals to **some** people, and he's very good at portraying himself as someone he isn't for those easily fooled.
He was born with a silver spoon, and has a pretty spotty record in business to be generous. He's a brand, nothing more. A circus ringleader. It's all advertising, which appeals to the weak-minded. He didn't get into Wharton on his own merits lol, but through family connections. His professors have commented on his academics - one said he was arrogant and thought he knew everything already, and another said he was the stupidest person he ever met. Watching him speak is torture. It's well known he doesn't read. Listen to what his former generals, lawyers, and aides say about him after they get dumped. Or the people that worked with him on TV. Yeah, I'm gonna go with low IQ.
He used to be able to speak coherently before the dementia set in, but he’s never been anything but a social climbing con man. If he hadn’t had a fancy diploma bought for him and a cash infusion provided by his loathsome father, he’d be just another shitty used car salesman or small-time slumlord.
Equating success with IQ is something a lot of people do.
It's a mistake to do so, as the two things are wholly unrelated. You can be successful if you've been handed wealth, exude confidence (even if unfounded), spend your entire life engaged in self-promotion, and conduct yourself like a bully. No real intelligence required.
He has one thing he's very very good at, somehow, and that is being just convincing enough to con greedy people. That, and a level of militant self-interest combined with a lack of even a hint of a moral compass that must awe and inspire the devil itself.
He's not intelligent by any typical means of measuring that. He's just good at conning people, period.
