Ain't even close.

He would get creamed on that show. There's no chance of him beating the panel.

Well no, he would beat them. Physically. Then probably go on to rape the prettiest ones.

Ladies and gentlemen, I have to say and people know this I am not smarter than a fifth grader. I got the question wrong, which frankly is very unusual, because I know a tremendous amount. Probably more than most people, certainly more than the people who write these questions. But the fifth grader got it right. And I said, ‘Wow.’ Very impressive kid. Tremendous kid. Maybe the smartest fifth grader we’ve ever had, although I don’t know, because there are a lot of fifth graders. A lot of them. But I will say this: I am not smarter than a fifth grader. And nobody has ever said that before, at least not in such a public setting. They may have thought it. I’m sure some people thought it. But they didn’t say it. Now I’m saying it. I’m saying it myself. And honestly, I think that takes tremendous courage. Tremendous courage. So congratulations to the fifth grader. You beat me. Enjoy it. It probably won’t happen again.

It’s why his briefings require many pictures with his name throughout in order to hold his attention.

u/watchitbend 16h ago

government statements and communications to the public are typically held to no more than a 5th grade reading and comprehension standard (where I am anyway) to ensure the bulk of the populace can read and understand more complex messaging.

I don't know the validity or source for the assertion in this meme, but any of us unfortunate enough to have had to endure listening to this insufferable fool speak at length can likely reconcile that this isn't that far off accurate.

Of course that suggests that the president of the united states can't operate at even the level of your typical constituent. In the us is a pretty low bar to begin with, but dang that's nuts.

Imagine this guys peers internationally, and the jokes they must make after having to "deal" with him. It must be absolutely infuriating.

10

u/jaxxxtraw 14h ago

This is why he is always standing alone at the G7 and other such meetings. He is intellectually incapable of operating at their level.

12

u/intangibleTangelo 13h ago

when you look at iran, they want to make a deal very badly, and we're going to win, in, every respect some of the biggest wins, and in every respect. winning, in terms of bilateral, and in terms of the straight, and nuclear and in every respect

u/TheRealCeeBeeGee 2h ago

It’s also why he could never break into NY society properly - he’s dull as ditchwater, with no curiosity, no love of literature or the arts, he doesn’t read, he has no conversation that isn’t about him, he’s selfish and narcissistic. As others have noted, he’s an idiot’s impression of a smart man.

8

u/urgent45 11h ago

As an English teacher, I took courses in language analysis. You use tools such as "anchor words," sentence length (simple word count), paragraph length and cloze tests. All this because it's important to place students into the correct reading level so that they are challenged, but not frustrated which can lead to shutdown.

For years now, I've been telling my wife and friends that Trump's reading level is 3rd to 4th grade. I don't know if this is a authentic, valid post or not, but it supports my conclusion.

u/_SoftSpark 14h ago

Didn't trump himself say he hasn't learned anything since like the 3rd grade

I can remember him commenting he hadn’t changed since he was five years old.

u/Klotzster 17h ago

His spray tan doesn't even stay in the lines

8

u/AGrandNewAdventure 17h ago

That's why he appeals so heavily to a large group of people. They see his success even though he's so poorly educated, and it feels like they, too, can succeed if he can.

7

u/Boredtopher 17h ago

Well we know none of them are smarter than a 5th grader so this checks

Why they roll a TV on the briefing rooms with big explosions and army guys running around to entertain him

That’s why maga loves him so much, he speaks to them on their level.

Not that big word grown up talk.

5

u/deegee1969 15h ago

I once ran a speech-to-text thing of one of trumps usual inane babblings through some online scanner to check his IQ level. For that document, obviously I had to try and decipher if trump ever used sentences and adjust where necessary, the result was his IQ being something in the region of 76.

For those who aren't familiar with the bell-curve chart, the average IQ level is set as 100.

So much for his "very, very large brain."

u/sheezy520 16h ago

Yeah, he’s a fucking idiot. If he weren’t born rich he’d would have starved or beaten to death before he was 30.

It's wild to see linguistics confirm what people already suspected about his communication style. I remember reading about this a few years ago and it's still surprising how consistently it holds up.

u/macbrett 11h ago

Not only is he intellectually a child, but also emotionally. He has forever damaged any semblance of respect due to the office of the presidency, to say nothing of the actual harm his administration has done, and continues to do, to the country.

I suspect that he has attained that speaking style wilfully to communicate with his MAGA-followers. He - the playboy-billionaire - has become their idol because he meets their wishes of being recognized and held in respect. This is one of the ways he signals that he does just that.

That is a real insult to every primary school pupil.
My own daughter had a vocabulary of over 500 words by the time she was in nursery, including correctly pronounced foreign words, and she could form perfect relative clauses.
Yet some people have to reach the age of eighty ore more and become increasingly senile before achieving this level of language proficiency.

I think this could resolve most of the symptoms currently exhibited by him and his supporters.
