You coukdnt make it up coukd you. Each time I see him his expression is that of a petulant child, and when he opens his mouth he sounds like one.
Trump once observed that his IQ was higher than Obama's and GW Bush's. He talked about it a fair bit at one time (his IQ). To be fair to him, it was probably because his IQ had been called into question in some quarters.
He believed also that his quotient was higher than our Alan Sugar's (I'm no fan of Lord Sugar, but I would question Trump's assumption on that). And so the comparison's continued. Without him ever indicating his own IQ score.
But, as someone pointed out...
"If you take someone we consider to be a genius like Einstein, he would probably not do well on an IQ test, because he thinks outside the box".
"He could probably think of a dozen answers to one question."
So it's all a bit of a nonsense. I think maybe what many of us on here are looking for in politicians and leaders - especially world leaders, is maturity - that quiet calm wisdom that, allegedly, comes with age.
Trump appears to be permanently on the defensive, not so much like a child but very much like a petulant teenager who hates being challenged or questioned about his behaviour, regarding it as an attack, rather than a quest for information.
What worries me about him is that he comes across as a man whose emotional intelligence has been arrested. He can't manage his emotions, nor understand or respond to the emotions of others (unless they agree with him). In the vacuum, his ego has rooted itself firmly and it appears to be this huge ego that is in constant need of stroking that seems to govern what he thinks, says and does.
In short, I fear the world will be far less stable if he becomes POTUS with all its associated powers because we will become dependent on the replica of a tetchy and fractious teenager.
But - he inspires enormous admiration and confidence in others, so...
I do question why women hold him in such esteem though. Any mature male who, when talking about the opposite sex, incorporates "pussy" as part of his lexicon, immediately alerts little red flags in my brain. But, reactions may vary.
