They changed IQ scoring sometime after I took the test, to make scores over 140 much rarer.

When I took the test for Mensa I scored at 152, and best I can tell he’s got a higher IQ than I do.

Here’s the thing, When an IQ differs from yours by more than 20 points, much of what the other person is doing, either direction, is unfathomable to you. It’s as if you are speaking different languages.

I see so much that candidate Trump did and that President Trump is doing that seems to be to be over the head of a lot of people viewing him. They also confuse the reports by his enemies with what he’s really done and said.

A high IQ doesn’t make you perfect, but he just expertly navigated a minefield like I’ve never seen done before. You have to understand that there really is a deep-state problem. Look no further than the change in average wealth between the time a typical person joins Congress and the time they leave, or the White House, or any other major political office. Hint, there’s virtually no correlation between their government salary and their sudden amassing of wealth over the few years they are in office.

If you sit back and read the tea leaves you’ll figure out you’re being lied to by extremely powerful people, people who have a vested interest in lying to you on all media outlets. All you have to do is notice the vast difference between their predictions of what’s about to happen and their low success rate at it actually happening to realize that the media makes up and sensationalizes stories for views. Yes, the same media that makes their living getting people to buy products they don’t need and to make reckless financial decisions because advertisers convince them to spend their money and time watching TV and buying soon-to-be-worthless junk, also knows how to convince a lot of people that someone is bad when they are really good.

Back away from your biases and ask yourself, would you want to be president if you had a billion dollars, a penthouse apartment overlooking central park and a supermodel wife?

Every assumption about his motives is vacuous at best. “Putin blackmailed him to run the most amazing upset in political history?” Give me a break.

What he did and is doing while single handedly battling every media outlet (believe me, Fox News was not his friend during the campaign) the active campaigning of a sitting president (unprecedented in the history of our democracy), the non-stop criticism of the Hollywood stars and professional comedians.

Who in power was on Donald Trump’s side this election season? The Koch brothers didn’t fund him. People in his own party worked against him as late as the last month of the campaign.

Saying his IQ is anything but extraordinary would be like watching a football player repeatedly score the winning touchdowns despite the efforts of half his own team and most of the referees on the field, and then say that player’s not much of an athlete.

The man is brilliant on levels I’ve never seen.

Let me clue you into his so-called craziness in tweets and other communication. Every “outrageous” statement has a very clear purpose. It is to get someone to look where the media don’t want them to look. Everytime someone looks they find out that they are being lied to. Most of the time people won’t look because the tweet will be about something they don’t care about and the surface analysis, “another crazy tweet,” will hold sway. But every now and then they’ll look deeper. With each deep look a few more people are converted from “Trump’s crazy” to, “The media and most of our leadership are lying, and Trump’s exposing it.” Every move over because a new part of the higher, permanent, un-moveable base.

President Trump’s strategy is incredibly patient, incredibly long term. He’s not trying to win over every person every day. He’s trying to build a loyal following one voter and one issue at a time. All of his strategies are ratchet strategies. If you followed the whole election season the phrase that kept coming out over and over again is

“He’s got this loyal base that is with him for the distance, no matter what.”

But no one bothered to look into why that was so, or why it was such a one-way move. Despite media outcries to the contrary there are almost no, former Trump supporters. This was a very carefully planned strategy, not to go for a broad win by saying it's easy to accept things, but to go for permanent loyalty by exposing what’s really happening to the country one complex issue at a time.

When I first started watching the debates I thought he was wrong on almost every issue, but issue after issue the more I looked the more sense he made.

The destruction of the middle class has been attributed to tax breaks, but this makes no sense. The middle class doesn’t survive based on government handouts. The middle class thrives based on good jobs. The lie being told is that those jobs are all being lost to automation. This lie is easily exposed because if it was true, we in America should be the kings of automation and should be leading the world in exports, rather than jobs being lost and companies moving operations overseas.

Undisciplined immigration and trade policies were the largest eroding force to the health and upward mobility of the middle class. Every cheap laborer adding to the US consumer market (whether through lax immigration or lax trade) lowered the bargaining power of the US middle class and, by extension, diminished the median US income dramatically. This was something that no other politician saw going in. I didn’t see it. It’s not easy to see because we get swept away by semantic arguments. But the math is clear.

President Trump is definitely the brightest president I’ve seen in my lifetime. If you’re fooled by his simple-speak, his, “The best words” you’ve never run a company or sold a product. Simple speak is command speech. Simple speak gives clarity where big words only confuse people. The majority of big words exist to equivocate, hedge your bets. That’s not how a commander gets reliable action because it has people afraid to act out of fear that they got the commander’s will wrong. President Trump is way, way above 150 by the standards that were in play for testing when I took the test in 1988. So even given adjustments both for the Flynn effect and the way IQ switched to a statistical rather than age-ratio scoring standard, he’s still above 140 today.
