intelligence commotion - Snopes. Debunked the Trump IQ claim. I'm sure, though, that Trump promoted it. In my experience, people with that level of IQ don't behave like Trump. Mensa certainly has not been calling.
A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

JJH, not a counter point or a push back, just an expression of what I have seen and learned and the basis. Two half-brothers are and my youngest (high functioning Aspergers or Non-Verbal Learning Disorder depending on which profession you talk to) is. picked up the consonant I dropped  I just wish it was that easy to dx the guy. If there's an Aspie gene hiding in his brain, and his swagger and sloppy thinking habits and lack of intellectual curiosity are his form of defense, then for me it is a first, because while I have encountered Aspies with a hostile streak (Prince, for instance) none so far come close to Donald Trump's. And the computer thing, his absolute refusal to even consider trying to learn how to use a computer, so very very un-Aspie like.

what may be more curious is why do the people who surround him always apologize for what he says and does??? That is simple, ordinary run of the mill garden variety authoritarian bootlicking battered wife syndrome. 156 IQ? Puuuh-leeze. I'm going to take a run at this and tag him as maybe 120 on his best day ever. And the dementia issue? Nope not yet but let him go a year, or even two, not getting everything he wants, and quitting in a Palin-esque hissy fit, then returning to find his damaged Trump brand irrecoverable at any cost, and you may very well see dementia begin to creep in. If the dementia doesn't get him at that point, his incredibly large mouth consuming some of Vlad's Special Tea certainly will. Don't piss Putin off, Mister President-elect. His cloak and dagger minions in the Kremlin will get to you one way or the other.

.... I wouldn't even go that high. Maybe (and that's a big MAYBE) slightly over 100.

Two quick intelligence tests that Trump dramatically fails:
"The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool." Shakespeare
"The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits."
Einstein

How will National Security Agencies get PEUTOS to sit still long enough to absorb security briefings? ![[Linked Image from uploads.disquscdn.com]](https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c1ef21c092fe5399fe54d8622db73420549318f6f524859a76d09681104344ea.png)

No fear, Newt is on the case: The Swamp™ is simply being replaced with more hard-nosed, rightwing paleo conservative critters.

I'm getting a little pissed of with all the media equation of high IQ with the Aspie spectrum. These are two separate things. Most people with high IQs are perfectly functional in the social aspects of their lives. Some people with mild Asperger's are very good at concentrating on one specific topic (which apparently the general population has a hard time doing) so they seem to be very intelligent, but usually they are not very good at all on social interaction..
I think a much higher correlation would be that almost nobody with an IQ over 130 ever watches WWF wrestling. I doubt Trump has either a high IQ or Asperger's: Just look at his behavior. It is much more like somebody with holes in brain from tertiary syphilis or a prion disease.
