    The same IQ level as the supporters of previous presidents.

    Right, and what does that have to do with Trump? Be specific.

    But, you are right. It is has nothing to do with Trump's numerous threats. Do you know why Trump rarely mentions the economy? Because he knows Americans know he has nothing to do with the economy. Presidents have little or no impact on the economy unless they really screw up.

    Trump threatened to impose a 25% tariff on cars and automobile parts made in Mexico. Trump has threatened to impose a 25% tariff on $250B Chinese products. Are you aware of the danger those tariffs pose?

    Relax, Trump isn't that stupid. It's just Trump.

    Another Trump supporter helps prove my point. I'm getting all kinds of help.

    It has been steadily improving while Trump is president. Best it has been in decades. That is usually enough proof.

    Actually, he's right. 100 IQ level is the median. If you averaged President Trump Supporters IQ you'd get 100. Average Obama supporters, 100.

    So if a person voted for, say, Clinton or Obama and then in 2016 voted for Trump, could you explain this in relation to some point that you may have? Bearing in mind that fluid IQ (Gf) goes down with age but crystallized IQ (Gc) remains the same and can even go up.

    Its a good idea in some tespects

    Mexico is deliberately trying to flood Ametica with illegal aliens

    So thdy deserve all the punishment we can inflict on them

    But its not a practical idea

    Better to cut off foreign aid to mexico and tax the remittances going back to mexico

    No, they pointed out a fact, just because people disagree with you does not mean they are 'stupid'. Your attitude is why people vote for Trump and probably why he'll be re-elected.

    Behold two children, one is the President, the other a Congresswoman who is doing her best imitation of a Republican, doing more harm to the Democratic Party than Trump could ever dream of doing.

    Omar's said that some people held all Muslims responsible after 9/11 because “some people did something.”

    Really, can a member of Congress say anything more stupid than that?

    Of course, Trump pounced on the phrase to make all Democrats look stupid.

    He immediate made a Twitter post that stoked and amplified a controversy that has been a focus of conservative news outlets, which have sought to elevate Omar — a Minnesota Democrat and one of the first Muslim women elected to Congress — as a political target, as Trump’s re-election campaign begins in earnest.

    In effect, our President picked a fight with a young, female, freshman Congresswoman who said something incredibly stupid. It would serve Trump better if he had kept his mouth shut. No, he had to make Omar a martyr with his big mouth.

    This is about as childish and immature as any two people can be.

    That's our Pres.

    One thing is certain, Trump supporters are more intelligent than you are. They know that in order to prevent a long-term economic ruin, it may be necessary to endure a short-term economic loss.

    Many are your words, but slight is your wisdom.

    I don't know but ask any Lib and they'll be able to tell you. Or better yet, just ask Bernie. He honeymooned there. Mueller also uncovered that the Russians tried to help Bernie's campaign in 2016 until Hillary stole the nomination and Bernie did nothing about it. If he won't even fight for himself, why would you expect him to fight for the American people? He's a coward...

    Tiger Woods made golf history Sunday when he won the Masters. Of course, Trump has to get into the act.

    "Spoke to @TigerWoods to congratulate him on the great victory he had in yesterday's @TheMasters, & to inform him that because of his incredible Success & Comeback in Sports (Golf) and, more importantly, LIFE, I will be presenting him with the PRESIDENTIAL MEDAL OF FREEDOM!" Trump tweeted Monday afternoon.

    Incredible, a guy wins a sports championship and Trump wants to give him the Medal of Freedom. Once again, Trump makes Presidential history.

    Right, the GOP leadership was wrong, nearly every Republican member of Congress was wrong, economists were wrong, Wall Street was wrong, but you and Trump were right about closing the border.

    This is a democracy. You are entitled to your opinion ... even if it doesn't make much sense.

    You don't like Bernie. I don't like Bernie. In the context of this thread, what was the point of your post? No one is talking about Bernie.

    So glad this flame bait thread is still chugging along to show the hypocrisy.

    This is what the poster said.

    This was not taken out of context. That was the entire post. Do you consider that a fact? Do you consider that an intelligent response to an accurate analysis?

    I've been saying; Partisan politics is the most common mental illness in America.

    What are the signs and symptoms?

    a. Irrational thoughts
    b. detachment from reality
    c. trouble understanding
    d. gullibility

    There is nothing negative about Trump awarding a PRESIDENTIAL MEDAL OF FREEDOM award, especially to someone as renowned as Tiger Woods, coming back after years of struggling to win his 5th Masters title.

    Here you can find a list of sports figures, including golfers, who are PRESIDENTIAL MEDAL OF FREEDOM recipients. It's a very long list.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Presidential_Medal_of_Freedom_recipients#Sports

    Tiger Woods now joins fellow golfers Charles Sifford, awarded by Barrack Obama in 2014; Jack Nicklaus, awarded by George W Bush in 2005; and Arnold Palmer, awarded by George W Bush in 2004.

    Barack Obama awarded the most medals ever, 123. So I guess he had to "get into the act" more than anyone else.

    I don't comment on hypotheticals. It is a waste of time. Besides, your question is weird. My points are based on facts.

    There is one thing notable about that list. The American sports heroes on that list were given the medal long after their accomplishments. In other words, they had become American icons.

    Woods won the Masters on Sunday. He may become one, but he is not an American icon yet, maybe in 20, 30 years.

    Face it, Trump wanted to share the glory, the limelight. It is what he does.
