trumps IQ
I just heard on the radio that trump wants to take an IQ test to prove he is not a Moron If he thinks an IQ test is a measure of intelligance then he must be a moron! If the test confirms he is a Moron then no problem "fake news"

Re: trumps IQ
Remember the bitter and heated debate in educational circles in Youkay about whether kids with *restricted code* vocabularies ought to be
taught to express themselves with *extended code* vocabularies or whether (some) educators' desire to do this this was a manifestation of bullying
contempt for the way ordinary people expressed themselves?
Trump makes a point of expressing himself like a person with a very limited vocabulary and it paid off bigly in the election; a great many
Blue-Collar Joe-Six-Packs grasped the concept that this devious mega-vulgarian was somehow "one of them."
And only people with a compulsive deathwish dare to mention race and IQ in the same breath. But that's another story entirely!

McNamara's Moron Corps
Half a century has passed and for most reading this the Second Indochina War is as distant as Verdun or Gettysburg.
Trump, Joe Biden, Bill Clinton, Dick Cheney, Mitt Romney, Dan Quayle, George Bush Jr and many, many more obtained deferments
of one kind or another - Mitt Romney was unsuccessfully converting the French to Mormonism.
Then someone or other had a brainwave - draft those deemed unsuitable in earlier assessments ...

Re: trumps IQ
Fake news it may be, but hardly a stretch to believe he said such a thing.
I would bet it went something like "I have the best IQ. Great IQ. Very very very high IQ. Unbelievably high IQ, okay? Believe me, there is no problem with my IQ. Everyone says how high I am with the whole IQ."

Morons and non-Morons in the Vietnam War
In WW2, being certified as being of low IQ was a guaranteed ticket of exemption from military service. Not so
in the Second Indochina war.
Trump was one of the 68% of Americans of draftable age who were not drafted - he had, it seems, some trifling
malfunction of the fetlocks which granted him exemption and absolution - it is claimed that some congressman's
son was exempted from military service because he had braces on his teeth.
Of these book reviews, one stands out, that of Robert Hanafin. Hanafin, guilty of underage drinking and truancy
from school (!) was given the stark choice of military service or reform school. That he wound up as a Major is
obviously a tale in itself:

Re: trumps IQ
Actually what he said was similar, something like "i have a high IQ i can take a test if you like then you will see" The defination of moron from what i can see online is somebody who is stupid, i am not sure that he is stupid. He has a huge inflated ego problem, probably has borderline personality disorder and is arrogant, greedy, self centred, sexist, racist and a few other things.
He won,t take an IQ test so we will never know. But there are autistic people who have very high IQs but cannot socialise, or do simple things like make tea, get a bus etc so an IQ test proves nothing really.

Re: trumps IQ
With the rest of your post, you are describing how to get on Britons benefit system.
Always "hope" but never "expect".

Re: trumps IQ
I think his IQ is lower than his shoe size.
There are people who cannot imagine that there are other ways of life than their own life.
