@farmerman,
Of course, sandwiched between the two biggest idiots ever to take office makes him look so very good. Hell, next to Agent Orange Dubya looks good, not just the real Dubya, but the cartoon version on American Dad.



I would choose this over Trump any day, because next to Trump, he looks like an elder statesman.

Exactly, except it's 99th percentile

A general consensus would most probably come out with the conclusion that Barak Obama is by far the smarter man! However, if we are going by IQ scores, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Barack Obama’s IQ score is just 102! Not only does Trump’s score destroy his, but it is the lowest score of any United States president in the last 100 years! Who would have guessed it?!

Though there has been less speculation surrounding Clinton’s IQ, she scored an incredible 145, putting her in the upper-echelon of presidential candidates in history!

Other IQ's stated at this site: Nixon 131, Bush, SR 130, Dubya 124, Ike 131, LBJ 127, Truman 127.

Mentally, the Donald could run circles around the blowhards on this site, and elsewhere, who call him "stupid."

And yet he doesn't. Unless you count crys of "you didn't treat me very nice" as splendid repartee. Oh, I forgot, you do. Hardyharhar.

@glitterbag,
Unlike some poseurs we all know, Trump makes no effort to "sound" smart. That's how smart he is.

Samuel Johnson, the guy who wrote dictionaries, had this to say:

Trump talks to the common man, and you don't need high-falutin verbosity to express his simple message:

America First, Baby!

True, only Trumps inclination is not to use big words for little people.

@Fil Albuquerque,
Yeah, right, eh, Fil?

I've yet to hear a self-proclaimed IQ on the internet that wasn't around 200 that I recall. What's yours?

By the way, the phrase is "big league," not "bigly." Also often expressed as "big time."

@Fil Albuquerque,
Trump claim hes a triple niner?? I think hs more like Georgie Bush, his problem solving skills seem minimal. Witness his opening salvo of sheer stupid.

Hes gonna be fun . I predict hell be a raving drunk by the end of his 4 years.

Hed have done a decent job by going after infrastructure first cause that would have to draw many dems into the periphery of the fold because theyve been talking that up for Hillary.
Then with a more secure base showing his ability to "reach across the aisle and unite" he should have proposed to "FIX " what was wrong with Obamacare. NOOO, these guys like to pour gasoline on the campfire.

Now several GOP senators are calling for an independent special prosecutor .All in 63 days.

AS c. i. always preached about the difference tween genius and stupidity.

"troublesome predicament?" From Snopes? You're kidding, right.

They cite an author saying "A 156 IQ is at the 99.9905490555 percentile. That means that Donald Trump is smarter than 99.99 percent of the people on planet earth. Not only does Trump qualify for membership in Mensa but he could join the Triple Nine Society."

Then they try to quibble as follows: "Donald Trump graduated from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania in 1968, with a Bachelor of Science degree in economics and anthropology. According to PrepScholar.com, Wharton’s SAT requirements are currently set at 1500. This roughly translates to an IQ score between 145 and 149, not 156."

1500 in the is not the MAXIMUM SAT score allowed, ya know? It's the minimum.

I wonder how many other Wharton geniuses absorbed enough to amass a 5-10 billion dollar fortune, eh?

@layman,
Wharton is very generous with "legacy placement". U of Penn is just another Ivy, its not Stanford, MIT, Cal Tech or U Texas at Austin where you really have to earn your hall pass.

Director Michael Moore on Friday warned Democrats that while the decision to pull the Republican ObamaCare repeal bill was worth celebrating, it wasn't time "to gloat" but the opportunity "for the resistance to step forward."

Republicans abandoned their effort to repeal ObamaCare Friday, when Trump and Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) agreed to pull the measure as it became clear they didn't have the votes. Trump said it would make political sense to let ObamaCare fail and hang it on the Democrats.

Moore, in an interview with MSNBC's Chris Hayes, said Democrats shouldn't take Trump's word as an empty threat, but get ready to fight back.

"This is not the time for the Democrats to gloat," Moore said. "This is the time we have to now double down. Please understand that Trump is telling you the truth when he tells you that ObamaCare is going to explode or implode ... they are going to actively make sure that that happens."

Moore said that it was time for people to look to progressive leaders such as Bernie Sanders to push for the fixes to ObamaCare that are wanted by Trump supporters, "the working poor" and "working class."

He also said Trump supporters are starting to see that the president isn't delivering on promises.
"A lot of people... they're getting it. They're getting that they were lied to," Moore said. "A lot of promises were held out to them that aren't going to come true. And they saw just how transparent the Republicans and Trump were with this bill.

"This was a tax cut bill for the rich, not a healthcare bill. This was an attempt now to try and kill ObamaCare in actually more cruel ways because they're going to try to nip and tuck and cut HHS to get in the way of what ObamaCare does."

Moore has been an outspoken critic of President Trump, often calling on people to protest the president's agenda and Republican policies. In his interview Friday, he continued to call for grassroots protests against the president, and fights to fix ObamaCare.
