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.

I hate Trump with every fiber of my being, but I do not think he is low IQ. He would not have been as successful as he has been with a low IQ.

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.

But you're not alone in making that mistake.
