Trump introduced I.Q.s into the campaign before the televised "debate," when he said, "I know her".(They had never met.) "She's a low-I.Q. individual."

First of all Trump’s “cognitive tests” that he allegedly “aced” are dementia screening tools, not IQ tests, so there would be no IQ score.

Without a link, this smells of click bait.
