5. That's very close to my estimate...

I came up with during the whole “Low IQ” discussion a few days ago.

Let me preface this by saying that I have always been very skeptical and critical of IQ testing in general. Particularly during the era when Trump would have been taking them as class, culturally, and ethnically biased in the extreme. But, let’s face it. Trump was exactly in the center of where those biases would cater to at the time. Still even with that advantage, he fails.

To do well on any test the first and largest hurdle is being able to fricking take a test. Given his tiny attention span and famous illiteracy it’s doubtful that he could complete even the simplest of tests. Even if all that was required was to randomly fill in more than a few ovals with a number two pencil.

It’s also rumored that along with daddy buying his way out of the draft, he bought the mental midget’s testing. If the results were that low he hired the wrong surrogates.
