[quote=@Kratesis] Or perhaps because when the source of those complaints is looked at in context it won't match your catastrophic interpretation? I did a bit of googling and find the story interesting but I'm having trouble finding confirmation it was an Israeli agent and not a Jordanian agent. I'm also having trouble finding what the source that confirms Trump burned any agent at all; a quick google search shows that Trump denied ever mentioning the world Israel. I remember the story of course. It's just that these details are important and for whatever reason seem difficult to substantiate. But for the sake of argument let's say it is all true. Let us say that Trump fucked up bad. If that's the case does that prove that he is unintelligent? Obviously not; history is plentiful with brilliant leaders who screwed up bigtime. But I don't see you arguing that 90% of the historical leadership of western civilization was actually stupid. It feels like a double standard; anything Trump does that could be interpreted as foolish is given maximum weight while the foibles and foolish decisions of other leaders are interpreted with a much more objective eye. So because he requires reports to be condensed to a certain length he isn't paying attention and because he isn't paying attention he isn't intelligent? You see to be saying he is dumb but arguing that he is lazy. But those claims don't mesh with the reality of the situation. Trump prevailed over John Kasich, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Ben Carson, Jeb Bush, Jim Gilmore, Chris Christie, Carly Fiorina, Rick Santorum, Rand Paul, Mike Huckabee, George Pataki, Lindsey Graham, Bobby Jindal, Scott Walker, Rick Perry and Hillary Clinton. Several of those names are powerhouses in the world of politics and Trump beat them all. If he is stupid, how did he manage that? And if he is lazy, as you perhaps inadvertently argue, why did he hold so many campaign rallies?

Yes, when other presidents can understand basic politics and info briefings and Trump cannot care or understand enough without big pictures and his name being mentioned often means he's less intelligent (perhaps with a learning disability) and more arrogant than other presidents. 3.Beating these people does not equal intelligence, and I don't know how you can make that connection.
