The "I-Hate-Hillary" crowd seems convinced Trump has an IQ of 165

[DFW]

I think this is a dyslexic view of another wide-spread claim that his IQ is 156, also not true.

I saw this on the FB page of an angry-with-the-world person who for some reason insists in sending her "I-Hate-Hillary" posts around to friends of people she knows. She is disabled and lonely, and I don't bother to set her straight. She was reposting a claim that Trump was SOOO intelligent. She believes so many lies, it would be a full-time job anyway. But with Fox Noise (our mutual acquaintance is a formerly progressive "journalist" who often appears on Fox "News" ) as her only source of information, I'm surprised she doesn't think Massachusetts is inhabited by Martians--or, maybe after this weekend, she does. At least I get an insight as to who the 30% are.

1. IQ's are nonsense but we can say having idiots judge who is bright is going to give idiotic results.

[DFW]

3. I hear that

Besides, with an attention span of 30 seconds, it make little difference how bright he is.

[Orrex]

26. Not true. IQ is a very accurate measurement...

of people's ability to take IQ tests.

[haveahart]

2. His vocabulary indicates an IQ of about 92

[DFW]

5. Like the GW Bush version of "Home On The Range"

"Where seldom is heard
A three-syllable word
Or if so, then it's one I can say"

[rurallib]

4. They must be measuring in milli-points. Move the decimal point three spaces to the left

to obtain actual score or .156

Must be killing them to see everything Hillary said coming true in such a short time.

[DFW]

7. If their attention span is similar to Trump's

They couldn't cite ONE quote of Hillary's. Period.

[Different Drummer]

12. I think it would be a point of pride for them to see everything Hillary said coming true. n/t

[Binkie The Clown]

6. Almost. They just forgot the decimal point: His IQ is 16.5 n/t

[DFW]

8. A mere typo.....n/t

[spiderpig]

9. Yeah, in another universe

where the baseline is 10,000.

[Vinca]

10. He's only smart in the art of the con. He's a master at that.

[DFW]

11. Anyone can order a meal and then stiff the waiter

That's not mastery, that's theft.

[Vinca]

13. I'm thinking the big cons like Trump University. That's probably the "school" attended by people

who think his IQ is 165. He also pulled a hell of a con on the banksters when they decided not to flush him when he refused to pay his loans back.

[Thor_MN]

14. Trump could not complete an IQ test. Too mnay words, not enough pictures and nothing about him.

[JDC]

15. No way. It may be sub 100.

165 is propostorous for that idiot

[NotASurfer]

16. 165 works out to 74 Celsius

Wait, can I do that with IQ?

[jmowreader]

43. If it's on a temperature scale, it's the Kelvin one

[Auntie Bush]

17. He's definitely dyslexic...can't read worth a shit!

[DanTex]

18. First of all, obviously not. Second, people obsessed with IQ scores have something wrong with them.

[tavernier]

19. He's quite bright.

He knows almost as many words as most chimpanzees.

[NNadir]

21. Why are you insulting chimpanzees with the comparison?

[Alice11111]

35. !!!

[DFW]

23. When he starts referring to himself as Caesar

Then we'll know we won't be putting up with this farce for too much longer.

[democratisphere]

20. The "I-HATE-HILLARY" crowd forgets to move the decimal point

one digit to the left; 16.5 is drumpf's IQ. 16.5 is the IQ of most of his supporters.

[marylandblue]

22. I heard he has the world's highest IQ with the best numbers

[oppressedproletarian]

24. Yes people are saying that! LOL n/t

[emulatorloo]

37. "I am very highly educated. I know words. I have the best words."

[NastyRiffraff]

25. Remove the "1" and they've got it!

The 1 must've been put there by mistake.

[MFM008]

32. No

Remove the 1 and 6.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

27. Based on his educational achievements it should be in the 115-120 range.

Maybe it was that before the dementia set in.

[guillaumeb]

28. The problem is very simple and fixable.

By the simple placement of a decimal point, Trump's functional IQ is seen to be 16.5, not 165.

[syringis]

29. Ah?

Il y a une erreur, ça doit être 1.65...

Et encore, sûrement parce que psy a eu pitié

[ATL Ebony]

45. Can't speak your language but 1.65 is more accurate -- thank youu.

[syringis]

46. Hello

I said that even 1.65 was probably because the psy had pity on Trump

[ATL Ebony]

47. Hi

LOL, that's a good possibility.

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

30. Intelligence isn't usually measured by empathy and socialization

Trump has been playing the part of a dickhead from Queens his entire public life, it is a defense mechanism against the wealthy who shunned him and his father. Trying to psychoanalyze or speculate his intelligence by observing public Trump is probably pointless.

[Gothmog]

31. Trump is an idiot

[MFM008]

33. As high as Einstein?

Who was in the 180s?
Fat fuking chance.

[Doodley]

34. Trump would have to be in the top 99.99757% if his IQ was 165

I don't see any evidence he is in the top 75%.

His businesses fail, even though he inherited a fortune from his rich daddy and has had to be bailed out by others to the tune of billions of dollars.

His marriages have failed.

He did not write The Art of the Deal or any other book.

He has failed as president.

He couldn't negotiate his way out of a paper bag.

He has little understanding of any of the issues, other than repeating slogans like "repeal and replace."

He doesn't even have the intelligence to realize that he is an idiot.

[MineralMan]

36. Whatever Trump's IQ Might Have Been Once,

It's low normal, at best now, and is falling rapidly. The man is slowly losing his grip on his intellect, such as it is, and on reality. The signs are clear.

[TheBlackAdder]

40. Perhaps he picked up a BSE from one of his steaks?

[anneboleyn]

38. It is very obvious that it is not (even in old interviews his capacity for language is very limited)

Anyone who believes this honestly -- no much point in discussing the matter.

[TheBlackAdder]

39. He should take a Mensa test and become verified. But he won't, because he's marginally functional.

[DFW]

44. I'd love for him to take a Mensa test

After he calls Mensa fake smart people, and calls their tests crooked, let's see how many others of his administration, not to mention his supporters, pass.

[Baitball Blogger]

41. They confused his golf score for his IQ, I think.

[Old Terp]

42. And Snopes looked at this

and ruled it FALSE! They totally minced all info (or lack thereof) used to reach this conclusion.

[NurseJackie]

48. The "I-hate-Hillary" crowd has many BIZARRE beliefs...

... that aren't limited to Trump's intelligence.

[Persondem]

49. Yeah, but that's in Yen. nt
