Trump Administration and the Press

[Callisto]

They put the circle thing behind his head. And we know Obama was no hope at all, with an open ended statement Yes we can. but Yes we can what? Obviously Obama was from the Father of lies. Trump though keeps it real.

LOL hyperbole, much? On both counts. Obama wasn't self-aggrandizing whereas that's all Trump does. Trump constantly speaks as though he alone knows everything better than anyone else and tries to takes credit where there is none.

Obama and Hillary didn't leave the bar very high, I can't blame Trump for believing he knows everything better. So lets give him a week or two to stomp out ISIS and undo 8 years of Obama/Hillary/Kerry.

Amazing how much denial it takes to justify his ignorant narcissism.

Why would Obama be responsible for other people adding in halos behind his head? That seems ridiculous.

Um, last time I checked, he proclaims himself as being "the best" and "knowing the most" about various things, not merely being better than Hillary or Obama.

And, it is pretty abundantly clear that Obama is far more intelligent than Trump.

Why, what did Obama do? Obama is a better speaker, but talk is cheap.

Intelligence is not necessarily an indication, as Obama showed, of responsible leadership nor real world understanding.

I didn't say that any of them did. Why mischaracterize what I said yet once more? However, whatever is done via executive fiat, can be undone the very same way. Only 3 years, 11 months, 25 days, 6 hours, 35 minutes and 10 seconds left till we are rid of Comrade Trumpsky.

We must stop under estimating Trump. No one thought he would win the primaries, but he did. Nobody thought he would win the general, but he ganked the election with an EC-only win. The Democrats are god damned fools if they go into 2020 with the same mentality that it's a shoe in and they start saying "President (insert name of their candidate)" before the election is held.

Do you think that a person's intelligence is measured by their IQ alone?

Apparently, Trump's claimed IQ isn't actually official. It is based on an out-of-date, no longer accepted estimation based on SAT scores and Trump's acceptance to Wharton. But, in this case, Trump transferred to Wharton late, and the SAT standard wouldn't be appropriate in his case, even if it was still accepted.

So, Trump's claim and that of the psychologist mentioned below aren't convincing in the least.

Fact Check: How smart is President-elect Donald Trump? IQ score isn’t official

The chart is based on a real university study by a real psychologist, but the claim that Trump has an IQ of 156 is not. This rumor has been around since at least August 2015, when the website BeforeItsNews.com published an article with an estimation of his IQ:

“Donald Trump graduated from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania in 1968, with a Bachelor of Science degree in economics and anthropology. Mensa doesn’t accept SAT scores from after 1994. However, Mr. Trump was a student at Wharton when it was possible to derive an accurate IQ core from known SAT scores. Given the usual requirements for admission to a top school like Wharton, I estimate that Mr. Trump has a 156 IQ at the minimum.

“The standard description of this level of intelligence is ‘Genius — Exceptional intellectual ability and capable of looking beyond known facts.’ However, the percentile rating is more revealing than the raw score. 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 [people scoring at or above the 99.9th percentile on selected intelligence tests].”

Snopes.com points out that the article in BeforeItsNews.com — a site consisting of anyone who wants to report on what’s going on around them — is full of illogical conclusions. Trump’s official school transcripts are not available, so it is impossible to know his actual scholastic aptitude scores. While the article’s author used Wharton’s general admission requirements to estimate Trump’s IQ, the math still doesn’t quite add up.

PrepScholar.com states that Wharton’s SAT requirements are currently 1500. This roughly translates to an IQ score between 145 and 149, not 156. Regardless, Wharton’s admission requirements are irrelevant, since Trump did not enter Wharton as a freshman. He transferred there his junior year, and Wharton does not list SAT scores among its requirements for transfer students, Snopes.com reports.

So, even though the IQ chart is based on a real study, it’s still just estimation. And there is no way to know what Trump’s IQ is.
