Click to expand...

wtf...

President Trump in a new interview offered to compare IQ tests with Rex Tillerson after reports that the secretary of State had called him a "moron."

"I think it's fake news, but if he did that, I guess we'll have to compare IQ tests," Trump told Forbes in an interview published Tuesday.

"And I can tell you who is going to win."

Edit: I'd also like to see them compete in an 8th grade level geography test.

Please do this on live TV. And when Trump's IQ comes in as unusually low, the tirade he'll go on will be legendary.

I'd be alright with it being a pay per view event.
Congress Critters get to work on a temporary bill to allow this to happen.

is trump trying to force tillerson out with all this bullshit? i mean, that's one way to get your SoS to resign. it doesn't seem particularly clever (though trump would call it a tremendous idea no doubt)

I mean he already kind of did that on national TV during a Republican primary debate.

I can only guess that Rex is getting daily calls from Exxon-Mobil, "Hang in there Rex, we don't have our Russia deal yet. Your reward will be in proportion to your humiliation."

Trumps IQ is huuuuge!

http://nomoremister.blogspot.com/2017/10/trump-is-obsessed-with-iq.html

It will of course never happen, because it’s yet another case of Trump thoughtlessly sounding his butt-trumpet, but it would be interesting to see how he’d fare in a (legitimate, professionally conducted) IQ test.

Unexceptionally, would be my guess. How embarrassingly so, is the question.

If I had to guess, I'd say he's right about 100, which is quite an embarrassment for the POTUS. It was probably higher when he was younger.

I'm not sure how you score IQ with somebody who has early onset dementia. Not to mention the attention span of a coked up squirrel.

It doesn't matter what Trump intended. He did in fact undercut Tillerson. He has no credibility as a diplomat now, because those who he negotiates with have no reason to believe he has any influence over Trump.

If Trump and Tillerson really are playing a good cop, bad cop ploy with NK as has been suggested in some articles I've read, this is not the way to go about it. The good cop is supposed to gain the confidence of the mark, and present himself as a better alternative to the bad cop. If the bad cop is the leader, then the good cop has to be able to say that in spite of the bad cop's war mongering instincts, the good cop can convince him to go along with a deal, if only the mark would agree to the deal. As it stands, with Trump insulting Tillerson, NK will never believe any representations Tillerson makes about his ability to get Trump to cooperate. Tillerson is basically a joke now. If you're going to insult your SoS publicly, you may as well fire him because you've just cut his nuts off.

I think Trump has experienced the cognitive decline that goes along with aging. This occurs at varying times, and to varying degrees, from one person to the next. I am familiar with dementia from my immediate family. Even early stage dementia would preclude his ability to function in the role of candidate or POTUS, even as an incompetent one.

Exactly. What foreign power would take anything Tillerson says seriously at this point? If the SoS can't make credible statements/commitments to other countries he has no purpose.

Trump's problem isn't that he was born with a low IQ, it's that he's a narcissist who doesn't give a shit about learning and just wants to hoard money any way possible. Trump is so abysmally self-absorbed it's hard to guess. It's like trying to guess the IQ of a chimp newly arrived from the rain forest or a boy raised by wolves.

Usually you guess or infer someone's IQ by observing their analytical skills, their sharpness of mind, their ability to see how ideas relate to each other and to synthesize new ideas from those connections, and frankly, from how much stuff they know about a wide variety of subjects... history, literature, science. How smart they appear.

Trump: "My doctor told me my IQ was 140 over 120."

Trump's narcissism definitely impairs his functional intelligence. But there are areas where it's more about biological limitation than personality. For example, his inability to articulate thoughts in a coherent manner suggests that he just doesn't have very high raw intelligence. At least not at this stage in his life.
