51. Please stop the assault on people with intellectual disabilities

As I have posted before on here, Trump does NOT have low intelligence. His problem is ignorance and a lack of desire to learn anything. He is stupid but thinks he is the smartest person around.
None of his traits are indicative of low IQ. A person with and IQ if 73 is mildly intellectually disabled. That person would have some difficulty learning in school with reading and math. They might be able to have a job but would need constant supervision. They would need a structured life and wouldn't deal well with changes. They may be able to make small money change.
I wish people on this site would stop with the low IQ. I worked with children and adults with intellectual disabilities NONE acted as trymp does. Most people with low IQ are friendly, kind, and caring. You do them all a disservice comparing Trump to them.
I would suggest you seek out a program in the schools or a community based sheltered workshop to visit and meet people with intellectual disabilities instead of demeaning them by making Trump comparison.
It makes me physically ill to see people on this site doing this to a population of people who don't deserve it. Would you do this to any other minority group? I don't think so. Intellectually disabled people are a minority group and deserve the same respect you give any other group.
