vote Donald trump!?

[Heat]

I came across an American on Facebook talking about Donald Trump's high IQ, and Sarah Palin's as well and how it was higher than 99% of the population.

Has there been some bullshit spread about regarding this? He kept referring to it as if it was the only measure of intelligence. I had to point out that even if it was true (which is extremely doubtful) then it does not in anyway mean that either Donald Trump or Sarah Palin have the necessary qualities to be a leader. The only skill they have demonstrated is to get votes from stupid people. Also that IQ is a poor measure of intelligence because there are so many functions that the brain has to perform. We know for a fact that neither of them have the ability to think critically for example. The fact that someone has to parrot some crap about having a higher IQ than 99% of the population suggests to me that they don't know shit about the nature of intelligence.

I maintain my position that Donald Trump is an utter idiot.

IQ is not perfect but it is also not a poor measure of intelligence. It is the best measure of intelligence thus far we have. And even emotional intelligence is correlated with traditional intelligence.

I don't know if Donald Trump is smarter than 99% of the population, but he sure damn is very intelligent. Have you seen how quick he is in responding to people? His craftiness? His wits? That all requires at least above average intelligence. And keep in mind, he's doing politics, so of course he's going to say shit he himself doesn't really believe in. But even if he has poor critical thinking skills, that would just be one facet he sucks at.

That really depends on how one is defining stupidity. It's more like bullshitting is not a handicap in politics. But you still have to be smart enough to bullshit so effectively.

Unless you believe the bullshit you're spewing. 


I could say that any public display of ignorance, or bigotry such as racism is for media attention and serves a deeper plan. Sure I could think all the uproar and controversy over questionable remarks are just a pawn in one person's mastermind scheme to trick us in to thinking he's stupid for personal gain. Or, I could come back to reality, and realize most probably hes just that dumb.

Quite. Donald Trump was tweeting ignorant bullshit way before he started running to be president. For example, when it snows in New York he tweets something along the lines of 'So much for global warming". It doesn't require too much intelligence to tell the difference between localised weather and climate.

He won't become president. Any politician of any country outside of the republican party in the US could wipe the floor with him in a debate. But imagine for a moment that he won, it wouldn't last long before he was impeached. Can you picture him trying to be diplomatic and trying to find a compromise with people he disagrees with? He wouldn't manage to get anything done and would just whine about how unfair politics is (ironic considering how much wealth he was born into). When he doesn't get his way he screams like an impetulant child, like when he lost Iowa and screamed about unfair media coverage and vote rigging.

If he was POTUS and meeting a delegation from another country then either talks would break down as he pissed them off, or they would go in knowing that they were effectively bargaining with a little child and stroke his ego to manipulate him. They'd have to interact with him in a way that would be condescending to any other president, even George W Bush.

A leader needs to think logistically and practically. Look at his failed attempt at creating Trump airlines because he thought that people would prefer maple-wood veneer floors, chrome seat-belt latches and gold-coloured bathroom fixtures rather than a decent service. He has the kind mindset of a third world dictator who would prefer to build an impressive tower in the capital city while letting the rest of the country go to ruin.

Anybody here who hates Donald Trump you can get out of this country. After all he will be the future president of our country.

Can't wait for the liberal jimmie rustling to commence after Based Trump is elected. Libcucks on suicide watch 24/7 roflmao.

Wait and see.  The election isn't over yet.  
Where is your introduction thread?  I didn't find one. 
You sound like a troll - throwing insults just to get a reaction.

Fucking Trump is whining about not being treated fairly by the RNC.  He sounds like a two-year old half the time and a twelve year old the rest.

Unfortunately a fake, but the sentiment is probably quite accurate ...

Trump wining. Hahahaha good one. Too bad all the polls have him losing to Bernie.
Fail troll 0/10 try harder next time.

Trump has probably just paid a load of people to search for his name on discussion forums and to talk him up. It's called astro-turfing (as in create a fake grass roots movement). All it takes is money.

I'm so happy that he mentioned "Mayo".

I ignored the "massacre" part, turtles don't wanna be dealing with that.
