The people under 90 on the IQ test.
Not too far off. IQ is normally distributed, so 40th percentile is a depressingly high 97.5-ish IQ.
That said... let's not disparage people with intellectual disabilities (IQ<70), many I know also know Trump's terribleness!
I agree that we shouldn’t disparage low intellect people, but we’ve really lost the plot by giving everyone a platform and saying everything everyone thinks is valid. There needs to be a public way to acceptably say, hey - what you're saying is fucking dumb, and if you continue to think that, you’re also fucking dumb. There’s a complete absence of shame today.
Everyone’s aunts and uncles. And red state friends you used to know.
40% of pedo-facsists is still a lot.
Approval rates are a garbage metric. I'm tired of hearing about them. He's always had poor approval ratings and every week we hear it, but no one does anything.
When you control it all, who cares about approval?
no one does anything
But you're wrong, they do: they disapprove!
Writes a strongly worded letter and wags finger
Oh you Americans are doing lots of letting him get away with whatever he wants. You sacrificed your future already. Fools one and all.
Yeah, you you didn't win gold in hockey, did you?
Only 60%? I know 40% of Americans aren't benefiting from his policies.
Why are they so stupid?
Wtf is the other 40% doing? Name and shame these fuckign assholes. You're either an American or a Republican. Uncertainty at this point is complicity.
They threw in the demented rapist corrupt sociopathic pedo-protector for free.
He should have a 60% disapproval rate based entirely off his personality.
90%
"You disapprove? Extra 10% tariff for you!. And you! And you!"
Does he have any other policies?
There is the violent kidnapping deportation and concentration camp thing. That seems to be going well...
