Trump's Biggest Flaw: He's Dumb (Barf alert)

Growing up in Wisconsin, I remember my late Dad telling me one day, as we drove past a farm with one of those big, blue Havestore silos, about the guy who invented them.

He was “the dumbest kid in school” and not a single girl would have a thing to do with him. After school, he came up with the idea for the Havestore, which is a scalable silo. He apparently came back to a class reunion, a millionaire many times over, and all of his female classmates were kicking themselves.

Yeah, I guess Trump is really dumb. After all, the sophisticated and nuanced establishment says so and they have to be brilliant, right?

Why does Townhall have Steve Chapman on board?

Just a guess but perhaps they are afraid that if they only post columns from people who think the same way they do they will end up like MSNBC or DU or any one of numerous sites who spend all day patting themselves on the back for being so (insert favorite SJW catchphrase here) while being totally oblivious to what the other half of the country is thinking? Isn't being surrounded by yes men and sycophants what cost Hillary the election? Maybe they don't want us falling into the same trap.

No matter what the reason, the column caught my attention and I posted it. When you post your own articles rather than spend your day commenting on articles other people post you have that kind of freedom. Try it some time.

I'm sure plenty of readers are now saying I'm the stupid one, with a brain far inferior to Trump's. They may be right. So I put a challenge to him: We both take an IQ test, administered by an independent body, with the results to be made public.

I make no doubt that there are Mensa members who disagree with Mr. Trump. So what?
The only reason for Mensa’s existence is to bring together people who would not otherwise meet because some people who can ace an IQ test are bums. E.g., from wikipedia:
Theodore John Kaczynski (born May 22, 1942), also known as the Unabomber, is an American mathematician, anarchist and domestic terrorist.[2][3] A mathematical prodigy, he abandoned a promising academic career in 1969, then between 1978 and 1995 killed 3 people, and injured 23 others, in a nationwide bombing campaign that targeted people involved with modern technology. In conjunction, he issued a wide-ranging social critique opposing industrialization and advancing a nature-centered form of anarchism.
Reagan was called dumb, and - see Reagan, In His Own Hand: The Writings of Ronald Reagan that Reveal His Revolutionary Vision for America - Reagan was more of an intellectual in actuality than any other modern POTUS.
And, just like clockwork, the next time another Republican gets elected POTUS and does something controversial, Democrats will say, “If only the president were smart like Trump.”

Having an understanding of what the nevertrumpers and crazy leftists are saying is a good thing, and so posting some examples of that with barf alerts is fine. At some point, it just becomes too many and serves only to dispirit the people here, which is what the left wants. This particular article is so out there that it really doesn’t even need to be here, it provides no value. So some nevertrumper claims that he is smarter than Trump. It doesn’t give any insight into anything except one man’s delusion, and works up the good folks here.

Trump relies on a vocabulary the size of a fourth-graders.

Perhaps Mr. Chapman has never heard Al Gore (the Mensa intellect who invented the AGW scam) instructing us, who he so clearly regards as his inferiors. Talk about patronizing! Whew!
And wouldn’t it be advisable, when critiquing someone else’s “stupidity,” to use the correct punctuation of "a vocabulary the size of a fourth-grader’s [vocabulary]”?

His biggest flaw is that sometimes he talks too much. But his decisions have been brilliant.

Who defeated Hillary? Who’s beating ISIS? Who’s growing the economy?

I rest my case.
