re: Our President responds to low IQ Maxine

quote:

---

He's forcing the media to cover it and defend it

---

4d chess versus checkers

he is completely exposing the stupid arse liberals

1) he made them against tax cuts for the middle class

2) made them pick illegals over americans

3) made them openly for open borders.

he sets the trap and they fall right into it.

Maxine has done far worse things to her constituents than Trump or any other republican has, yet they can't seem to understand that. Waters is everything wrong with black leadership

This is the truth

Your point?

That you are full of schiff

OK. I was a ranch kid whose family could not afford to send him to college. I not only got into one of the top public universities in the country (I was admitted at Harvard but could not remotely afford it), but I earned a full ride at TAMU based upon academics alone ... starting with a National Merit Scholarship and also including the top endowed scholarship offered at TAMU, the President’s Endowed Scholarship. I earned a double degree (two majors) and graduated in less than four years with magna cum laude honors (2/100s short of summa).

I was then admitted to one of the ten law schools in the country. More academic scholarships, combined with part-time emplyment, got me through the next three years, and I graduated with honors. Ten years later, I was sitting in a corner office in one of the tallest towers in downtown Dallas. I think I did OK.

Trump took a mediocre intellect and combined it with acknowledged business instincts, to grow a huge family fortune into an even-larger family fortune. I certainly do not pretend that he was anything short of a phenomenal business success. But that success had less (if anything) to do with intellect and much more to do with starting position, and with family wealth and influence.

Trump has far more money than I. I am far smarter. Your point?

Complete and total horseshite.

But, let me one up you, not only did I get admitted to Princeton, but the Army paid me to go, not only did they pay the tuition, and buy my books, but my assigned duty was to attend classes. So, if you're smarter than Trump because you got a full ride to TAMU, how much smarter must I be than you? The answer, of course, is that that is a terrible way to measure a metric.

A person of average IQ doesn't transition from businesman to politician and defeat both major parties to become President. I mean think about that for a moment, Trump had ZERO support from the GOP when he started out, they wanted anyone but him, still do, and the entire world was lined up to crown Hillary. Yet, Trump is POTUS. That isn't because of family money or anything else, that's because Trump is smarter than all of them. All the Harvard grads and Yale grads who typically hold office in DC, the "dummy" outsmarted them all.

HAIL TRUMP!

Good for you. I would say that Harvard and Princeton are fairly comparable, but I have never thought you were anything other than bright, even where I have disagreed with your analysis.

As an aside, I would note that the acknowledged “dumbest guy in the class” in my law school section was an Army captain, who was there on the Army’s nickel. Every time that guy raised his hand (which he did with excruciating regularity), everyone from the professor to the second-dumbest would release a collective sigh. To be clear, I think you are far brighter than he. My point is only that the standards for Army scholarships are not always the same as competitive academc scholarships.

I have never denied that Trump has outstanding instincts or that he excels at reading people. THAT is how he rose above the GOP field. He sensed a desire for a “movement,” and he grabbed the steering wheel and drove that puppy to the White House.

This is why I uniformly describe Trump as a populist demagogue. He read the masses and played to them. One need not be a genius (or even especially bright) to be good at reading people. It is how he grew his family fortune, and it is how he became POTUS.

If it had been a matter of anything other than reading the mood of the populace at exactly the right time, he would have become POTUS on one of his first two efforts.

IDGAF whether you like Trump or not. To use your dislike of him to deflect from this gobbledygook from Maxine Waters itt is why I called you moronic.

Fair enough. The black-vs-orange low-hanging fruit was just too hard to resist. Perhaps I need to work on self-control.

pot calling the kettle black.

Maxine is nothing but a damn race baiter in the same mold as Al Sharpton. She says this shite to stir up the homeys in her district that keep electing her. They eat it up and she knows it.
