Well, sometimes people are confused about someone with really low IQ and someone who at simply acts stupid. Trump maybe not a genius, but not an idiot also. He is just an awful bastard. I just cannot understand why he acts stupidly so often.
Agreed. Intelligence isn’t something someone can just change. IQ despite being a faulty and flawed metric is also largely influenced through one’s environment during childhood. The other things are changeable, IQ really isn’t changeable in adulthood when we finally gain more control over our environment to make that change.
Its like putting down someone for where they were born, the color of thier skin, or otherwise. Saying something like “easily manipulated” or “lack of self awareness” would have conveyed the same vibe without the ignorance.
I will always turn instantly hostile whenever someone uses IQ as a put down 😡
