I hate when people try to make troll threads/ironic threads and they're not funny in the slightest. He may not be the smartest man on the planet, but I would easily be willing to bet he is significantly smarter than anyone who goes on /sci/ or anywhere 4chan. He is highly intelligent, but this post will be disregarded heavily because he is a science educator who interacts with "Normies" as you people call them.

The smartest person in the world is probably working some mundane stress-free job, doing whatever the fuck he wants in his spare time. It's not raw computing power that makes you famous enough for 4chan to have an opinion about you.

Trump's father was not a billionaire. He did leave a huge 240 million dollar fortune that was split between all the kids and charity. After taxes, Trump probably inherited 30 million in the late 90s after he had already become a billionaire twice (Trump lost a lot of his fortune in the early 90s but rebounded).

Trump is probably the smartest US President IQ wise. If not, he is top three.

Why do you? Clinton probably has a high IQ too. Trump had a sterling academic record while playing multiple sports and being a turbo Chad. He also excelled at very complex business tasks (the type of construction and management he does is pretty high level).

>> No.9615540

He either is a genius or the people he hired was a genius to actually beat the Clinton political machine in an election that was rigged from the start in here favor (Bernie was absolutely fucked over in the Dem primaries with all the superdelegate celebs voting for her and the DNC collaborating with her). How he won takes at the very minimum, an IQ that atleast grad students have. His vocabulary is more than meets the eye if you think he actually talks like a 5 year old in private.
