    No, that is the size in inches of the area he sits on, which is where his brain seems to be

    Number of states is a matter of knowledge/memory, not intelligence. High IQ people are better at particular kinds of reasoning (e.g. spatial, pattern recognition), and this would not include the areas most relevant to negotiating with people.

    I think Trump is intelligent in some ways relevant to manipulating people, but I do not think the areas tested by the IQ test would be among them. He is probably pretty average in that regard, based upon how he talks and reasons, unless he's just playing dumb all the time to appeal to his dumb supporters.

    I don't particularly care one way or the other what Democrats say about Trump but those who met him and talked to him all describe him as extremely intelligent.

    If you recall, we had this problem from Democrats who called Bush stupid only to hear from scholars who knew Bush well that the man is very intelligent. So we are used to Democrats lying about intelligence as to presidents.

    I noticed all the bragging on himself from Obama. Supposedly he was some big wheel at Harvard. Supposedly his speech was amazing. But man oh man, put him on a teleprompter and all heck could break loose since it appeared he was not a bit familiar with his own speeches.

    Here on the forum, this can be checked. Pick 5 Democrats and describe their intellect and personality disorders. Thanks for the assistance.

    Guess it comes down to a matter of opinion. I'm thinking Obama will look much better thru the lens of history than Trump will. :nod:

    In what respect? I enjoy discussing history. What will the future historians brag that Obama did?

    Already for Trump, we know he has changed the notion that the USA is a complete pushover. Caused a better study of climate to commence. I want to laud his tax progress as well. I appreciate his removing executive tirades done by Obama. And he is just starting.

    Now wait a minute. He had lots of accomplishments. You know that tough guy Obama drew a line in the sand. He chided ISIS for bad behavior. He was also responsible for Obama Care. By his calculations that was going to save us $2,500 a year. What are you spending your windfall on? He siced the IRS on conservatives. He created a lot of wealth for the 1%. He orchestrated an economy that put millions of people on food stamps and Medicaid. He pardoned Chelsea Manning. He traded 5 senior terrorist for a deserter. He grew the federal debt to $20 trillion. More than all the presidents before him combined. The labor participation rate dropped from 65.7% to 62.9% under Obama. Under Obama home ownership dropped to the lowest point since the Census Bureau started collecting data back in the 1940s. He pumped billions of tax payer dollars into green energy companies, most of which went bankrupt. These are just a few of his accomplishments. I can't understand why they aren't trying to put his face on the Crazy Horse monument in South Dakota.

    Obama ranks as the greatest black US president of all times. But as president, he sucks.

    Future historians will marvel that he was able to accomplish so much while dealing with some of the worst hostility any President has ever faced.

    Trump faces ten times more hostility. Maybe far more in fact. I can't think of the alleged Obama accomplishments.

    Americans seriously suffer the idea that presidents are super powerful and can change things almost by waving his magic wand. Things are not that way.

    I believe Obama's biggest accomplishment was keeping this country from going into another Great Depression. We were right on the edge of that cliff when he took office. The economic stimulus bill he signed and the loans he arranged for the automobile industry are what saved us from disaster.

    Believe that until your face turns blue. But he did not save this country. Do you understand his authority reaches into the federal workers arena and not the commerce area nor banks areas?

    We were not in a depression. We were in a brief recession. Bush saved the auto industry by your standards and he saved the banking industry. Obama walked in Bush's footsteps. If you study this, when Bush was president, he funded the Auto Industry and saved the Banks.

    It is a miracle he was able to get that bill passed. And ever since it was passed there have been people trying to undo it. Including our dear current President.

    I even think that within three years a huge percentage of his opponents will have came around to
    thinking that he really is playing around in the same league as Lincoln and JFK.

    https://www.michaeljournal.org/articles/politics/item/abraham-lincoln-and-john-f-kennedy

    To a degree.... USA and Canadian central banking policy is smoke and mirrors.
    Is it five percent smoke and mirrors.... or twenty percent smoke and mirrors?????

    That is very difficult to define but within five years I believe that most American will be
    informed that there were serious flaws in central banking policy last decade..... until
    President Trump dealt with the core of the problem.
