about their intelligence. The smartest person I know has a PhD from Princeton. I wouldn't hazard a guess at his IQ but it is definitely well north of average. I would faint if I ever heard him brag about his education or IQ and he has plenty of awards and achievements to brag about.

The problem with tRump’s bragging, aside from being crass and self aggrandizing, is that he has lied to the world so much about everything he has ever done, who should believe him now? Furthermore, we’ve had plenty of exposure to his intellect and the comments I’ve read indicate most people find him seriously lacking in anything that remotely resembles a high IQ or superior education. The whack-a-doodles who like him and support him, for the most part, are not highly educated and can be buffaloed into believing he is “like a really smart person.” And that is what today’s dog and pony show was about. Throw the base a bone to keep them fat, dumb and happy. At some point, the things he is doing is going to impact them directly. Loss of insurance, taxes or something to take the shine off of their hero. He will have a much harder time drawing them back into the fold. But for now, they like that bragging and showing off. The rest of us? Not so much.

That equates the schools he attended, cause daddy got him in and paid for his grades, with class and intelligence. He may have been born to money, but he sure as hell never learned class or humility or damn near any other normal human emotion.

Personality disorder (or two or three!!) I feel such anger and animosity toward him that it makes my head hurt at times. The truth is, we should be angry with the people who put him in a position to run. The people in the GOP Knew what they were getting with tRump. My theory is they cut a grand bargain with him when the rest of their yahoos all got beaten by him in primaries. They each had agendas as did tRump. The big problem for them now is he is much more dangerous than even they knew. Do they take action now and risk a Constitutional Crisis? Or let this continue until they get at least a few things they want. Meanwhile, tRump has his minions out tearing everything apart that President Obama put in place. Anything that protects us,the citizens, will soon be history. Regulations that are important to the environment will be decimated. It is sickening to realize what he IS GETTING DONE. The media brags he is getting nothing done but that only applies to legislation. Things he can destroy with an Executive Order or one of his cabinet members, is going on day after day. Not to mention our reputation with other nations.

So yes, tRump is despicable and all that. But Congress is just as bad because they could end this nightmare tomorrow a.m. Pronto. But they won’t and that is a shame. A crying shame. I feel like things will never be normal again, at least not in my lifetime.

We ( me ex and I before we got divorced ) were talking about an IQ test he took and got a high score just after he got up and still waiting for coffee. She happened to walk in when we were talking and she immediately said "that is not that high I am in Mensa." I know there is no way in hell trump could get into Mensa but if he did that is the kind of thing he would say.

And sexual accomplishments. Dementia. When you start with an asshole, add dementia, and its game on. The lies about money. "Don't you know who I am". I was on the Forty-Niners.
