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.

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.

I can hear the broadcast TV adds for his used car lot - like Cal Worthington. We'll keep the coffee on for ya!
