Trump Speaks At Fourth Grade Level; Still Smarter Than His Supporters
For years Republican politicians have been attacking liberals for being so-called intellectual elites thats a claim that came up constantly during John Kerrys bid for the presidency as well as President Obamas first run. The anti-intellectualism has stretched into Congress itself, with Republican representatives incessantly attacking the science behind climate change and by cutting the funding for any government agency that deals with science.
But the anti-intellectualism goes far beyond just attacking those with high IQs, and Republicans are now pandering to the lowest common denominator with their speeches. According to an analysis, Donald Trump speaks to his supporters during both his speeches and his debates at a fourth grade level. This should come as absolutely no surprise to anyone whos ever heard the man speak, but it does tell us all we need to know about the real Republican base.
