    Indeed they are ... On one hand they calculate mathematically the "X" from the "Y" ... on the other hand they are too stupid to hammer a nail into the wall to hang up a picture.

    And bananas ... likely!

    How would we know what Mr Trump's intelligence might be, since he never uses it?

    I am reading an article right now that expects President Trump to do something outside the box toward North Korea.

    I will not be shocked if they are correct.

    He clearly is a courageous person who impresses me as somebody who would take personal risks in order to increase the level of freedom for the citizens of North Korea.

    In any case he has IQ higher than 140

    How much IQ is indicated for any person who can take millions and make BILLIONS out of it...?

    Trump's "IQ"...? Who knows? Ex-prez "Messiah" is thought by his worshipers to have a stratospheric IQ that transcends that of any other president who ever lived. What did he do before getting into the White House? He worked for the government. That's it. That's all. He worked for the government.... :roll:

    His IQ is less than 130, there is no doubt about that at all. 130 is the low end of the genius level, he is no genius, not even close.

    That took me about 1 minute to debunk.

    You folks will believe anything. If Trump had an IQ of 156, his ability to handle this job would be obvious to anyone even his critics. The man cannot focus on anything at all except his own image or bank account. He has displayed no signs of higher intelligence in his entire life, he is simply a salesman who got started in the family business with a huge advantage and then sold himself. That does not take any significant intelligence, simply desire, drive and a willingness to take risks. Evil Knievel had more desire, more drive and took far greater risks, was he a genius?

    And another Trump Hater raises his dirty hand.

    You knew virtually nothing about Donald Trump before he entered the race for president and before he had made absolute fools out of Hillary Clinton, The entire Democrat Party, the entire Mass Hysteria (I mean Media) and YOU last November.

    And now you set yourself up as an expert on the man.

    Where did you get your training, a Harvard correspondence course in Psychiatry--

    or MSNBC?

    I am 61 and Trump has been a fixture on TV and in the media for decades. He won by 77k votes across three pathetic states and lost the popular vote by 3 million. You claimed his IQ was 156, I disproved it by showing you the link where this absurd IQ was created out of thin air. I also have a high IQ and have spent the last 40 years around people even smarter than I. I know when someone is a genius. 156 is in the 99.99% range, Trump is no where near that level, just listen to his blather and the way he describes making decisions. I bet your IQ is pretty low, that may explain why you believe this baloney.

    You know all about Donald Trump because you've seen him on TV? Please don't tell me you are serious. I am having a hard time not laughing. That reminds of boyhood friend's father who told us he knew all about the hippies because he watched them on TV and in the movies.

    Times haven't changed.

    I did not support Donald Trump for president. He won without the support of either one of us.He won because he campaigned a lot harder than Hillary and he campaigned on a message for working men and their families. He told them he was going to get them back to meaningful work at decent wages. That sounds a lot more important than arguing over bathroom assignments.

    As for the working man in places like Iowa, Michigan, Pennsylvania (democrat strongholds)..., politicians of both parties had been handing them a s..t sandwich for a long time expecting them to ask for seconds on election day. They threw the sandwich back in their faces last November. Hillary and her friends didn't see it coming

    Hillary campaigned like the election was hers to lose and she lost. She lost a fair fight to Donald Trump who made fools of her, her friends in the media and YOU last November.

    IQ's?

    I did not write this post about IQ's. I don't know what PRESIDENT TRUMP's IQ is. Could you tell me which television program to watch so I can find out?

    If you want to engage in teenage taunts and back and forth insults, then you likely love Trump. Anyone smarter than a box of rocks can tell when another person is brilliant or not. Trump has never, ever displayed any intellectual brilliance in anything he has ever done whether it be in public, on TV, in print, in business, in forums, in academia, in debates, in campaigns and now as President Chauncy Gardner. The man has an IQ likely in the mid 120s, nothing more.

    "...you want to engage in teenage taunts....you likely love Trump....Anyone...can tell when another person is brilliant or not....never displayed any brilliance...an IQ likely in the mid 120's"

    I see you are back stopping your psuedo -intellectual silliness about people you don't know with more psuedo-intellectual silliness about other people you don't know.

    It is somewhere between simplistic and intellectual laziness.. You should study more than one side to an issue.It will improve your mind.

    "Is President Trump's IQ around 156?"

    I am sure Trumps crazy doctor would say he is the smartest President ever

    Mid 120s is pretty good. It's in the roughly top 5% of people. Pretty much anybody above about 115 is considered "smart." The biggest disaster in the world would be to have a genius level IQ (140+) in the Presidency. The few geniuses I've met would be horrible at leading a country. Outside of academia a 140+ IQ is almost worthless.

    This is an exceptionally good way to look at this........
    President Trump's life experiences in business, in my opinion, has prepared him for the office better than pretty much any higher degree could have........

    He sounds like a dude with an IQ around a 100 in his speeches.
    And the rate he employs people who he needs to replace....
    sure, it's good he kicks out the bad apples.
    But he was dumb enough to hire them in the first place.

    So he made more of his fair share of poor choices.
    Would this happen over and over with a person being part of that 0,1% of the world?
    Nope.

    That is because his degree was like 45 years ago, and he worked ever since.
    It would have been a lot better for the US if the guy had some political experience before he became president.

    What I found out a while ago is that most children with sky high IQ's end up working for universities.
    A nice shielded environment where they can do their thing without any pressure.

    Don't get me wrong, I think Trump is totally out of his league in the Presidency, and he's the least prepared President (the only one even close to being as unprepared was Obama) we've had in my lifetime (I was born during the Johnson Admin). However, it's not because of his IQ.

    Is President Trump's IQ around 156?

    Not meaning to be rude here, but my observations of Trump and his behaviors over the past 18 months, convinces me his IQ is FAR below the 136 you made the basement of your poll. Trump is good at making money in the single way he was trained by his father to do, but his world view is extremely shallow and his capacity for understanding complex relationships at any level is severely limited. Add to that his inability to express himself clearly; having a limited vocabulary, and using a lot of redundancy. None of these would indicate the presence of a higher IQ.

    Yes, but is what Trump tapped into anything one could consider "good" for America? I'm confused and perplexed by the vile hatred expressed by Trumpsters toward Hillary. Could you shed some light on this phenomenon?
