Now there are some high IQ individuals such as Nassim Taleb who consider IQ to be a pseudo-scientific swindle.
I would not go that far, but the evidence certainly points to the notion that key life experiences are more critical to success than IQ.
In Trump's case, it was his long career in high-end real estate and building a business empire in hotels, golf course, reality TV star, and the countless trials of a man of action.
Add it all together and Trump is a genius who has lived up to his full potential like few people in history. That's why his title is POTUS VSG :- )
Emerson:
Where is the master who could have taught Shakespeare? Where is the master who could have instructed Franklin, or Washington, or Bacon, or Newton? Every great man is a unique. Shakespeare will never be made by the study of Shakespeare. Do that which is assigned you, and you cannot hope too much or dare too much.
That’s not sarcasm. Trump has an IQ of 172 it has been reported
Hey, we found a bigger loser. Waste not, want not.
If Trump supports Biden, then TDS requires....
Adams was really funny in this Periscope. Short, impromptu, hilarious.
I listened to the entire Podcast Dan and Don are great together.
Im with you on this. People like to attribute to President some genius ability to play political chess but I think he is just being forthright. Hes been there on false accusations and he probably genuinely feels for Bidens campaign. If he is such a political genius then some of his other faux pas are inexplicable. He isnt like Pelosi or her ilk whose every thought is consumed with finding political advantage in every situation. I think President Trump is, at heart, a non-ideological problem solver who just wants to do whats best for the country. It seems masterful and genius because it is so rare for a politician to be this way.
It’s not only brilliant, but entirely consistent with his stance on preserving due process, especially in college campuses and of course for judicial nominations. I think the wind is out of the sails for the next few SCOTUS nominations for being “Clarence Thomas”’ed.
Politics turns on a dime. Always has, always will...
Lol...I started supporting candidate Trump after Scott Walker dropped out of the race in September 2015.
Adams gets points for going public with his ‘prediction’ early, but that doesn’t mean its worth listening to his babble daily.
You’re aware he’s a trained hypnotist, right?
His enemies cannot comprehend this.
They project onto him all sorts of evil and base motives, and even--of all preposterous charges!--incompetence.
Some have claimed that he knows nothing about business, finance, and economics! A self-made multibillionaire with 50+ years' experience building an international financial empire!
They claimed he was anti-semitic! A man whom Netanyahu says is a great friend of Israel and whose beloved daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren are Jews!
They claim he's dishonest! A man who's constantly putting his foot in his mouth because he blurts out truth, uncensored and with little regard for the consequences!
President Trump's enemies do not understand him--obviously because they don't want to.
What they fail to recognise and refuse to acknowledge is that President Trump is a man of towering intelligence, puissance, truthfulness, and fundamental morality.
Intellectually and morally he is far above his enemies. They deny this with everything they've got, obvious overwhelming evidence notwithstanding, which in itself is a confirmation of their inferior intelligence, puissance, truthfulness, and morality.
I have. And you really wonder what Alinsky would think about today’s Establishment Media environment—he would be horrified that six companies control over 90% of our media outlets.
(Smiles happily, not sarcastically.)
Leave Scott alone!
And I dont listen to him daily. Nor monthly.
Did you have a point?
A man with the instinct in finding the right words.
Now that we’re speaking of Mr. President...let’s
discuss the poor lighting used last night during
his town hall on FOX. Granted, the Lincoln
Memorial has its own lighting (a challenge,
possibly) but the Fox production lighting was
terrible. The imperfections shown on the faces
of all involved was magnified. POTUS looked to
have vertical stitches above his lips (ie
Frankenstein or Children of the Corn) Martha,
she had a cold sore which must have been
extremely painful. Lighting or bungling makeup
assistant? Distracting
I admire Nassim Taleb, and his characterization of IQ as a psuedo-scientific swindle” is probably founded in a specific thing, but we all know two things about IQ, and if you keep them in mind, IQ is probably a fine measurement of thumb:
1.) There are many different types of IQ, and not all of them equal “smart” or even useful.
2.) High IQ does imply the presence of common sense.
Not only that, Trump neutered the media.
I was referring to his comparison of Trump's IQ to Hoover's. Although Hoover was a decent and capable man, often underestimated, he was a middling student and presided over the onset of the last Great Depression. Hoover's remedies did not inspire confidence and as a result America elected FDR, whose corruption and socialist remedies made everything worse -- and he stuck around longer than he should have through his lies and collusion with the press to hide his infirmities, making sure our Republican way of life would be, to quote Miracle Max, "mostly dead." We have never recovered. Trump is our last hope.
